This stew is savory, spicy, comforting, delicious, and easy to make, which is why it's so popular with Koreans and non-Koreans too. My husband and I are big fans of Korean cuisine, and one of our favorite dishes is sundubu jjigae. It's a Korean soft tofu stew that's a bit spicy in the most delightful way. The tofu used is a soft uncurdled form that yields the silkiest texture, and the stew has a bold red color offset by the tofu, seafood, zucchini, and enoki mushrooms.

Instructions to make Tofu Jjigae:
  1. Cut up the pork into bite sized pieces. Put the pork into a bowl with the * ingredients and mix well.
  2. Cut the chives into 5 cm pieces. Slice the onion. Cut the tofu into bite sized cubes, and slice the leek diagonally.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a frying pan and stir fry the pork mixture from Step 1 until the color of the meat changes.
  4. Add the onion and kimchi and continue stir frying until the onion is transparent. Add the ★ ingredients and stir fry for an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
  5. Add the water and bring to a boil. Add the tofu, skim off the scum and dissolve in the miso. Simmer for about 5 minutes.
  6. Add the leek and simmer briefly. Drizzle on the remaining 2 teaspoons of sesame oil. Add the chives; when they have wilted, it's done.
  7. The kind of kimchi that uses squid innards or fish sauce tends to be a lot tastier. Usually you'd add kimchi that has gone sour.
  8. This is Dashida. You can buy it online or from Korean grocery stores. The flavor just isn't right without this.
  9. The jjigae tastes even better the next day.
