Silken Tofu Seafood Soup Soondubu Jjigae 순두부 찌개
This soup delivers heat in two ways. First, it’s hot and bubbly and then, it’s red and spicy (but not so much that you’ll double over). As always, you can tailor fit this to your own personal taste. Don’t like that kick? Remove the jalapeños or deseed them and scale back the pepper flakes (though Korean flakes are without the seeds and much milder).
For me, it’s like an aphrodisiac. I love spicy and hot dishes and seafood is my favorite, and there’s something so subtly seductive about a personal pot of fierce aromatic bubbles that almost has a lulling effect on you as you slurp your way through. It’s like the food version of a roaring fire and that’s always sexy

- 6 c mushroom/seafood stock (or water)
- ¼ c dried anchovies
- 2 kelp pieces
- 4 garlic cloves
- 2 jalapeños
- 1 onion

- 2 c seafood (of your choice)
- 12 oz silken tofu
- 3 chopped green onions
- 1 egg
- Simmer your broth, anchovies, and kelp for 15-20 minutes on medium/low.
- Toss in your garlic, peppers, onion, fish sauce, pepper flakes, and sesame oil and allow it to reach a fierce boil.
- Carefully slide in your seafood, crumble in your tofu, and crack in your egg and move it around to create a flurry or leave it to set.
- Sprinkle with your chopped green onions allow it to bubble just until your seafood is cooked (which shouldn’t be long).
Wishing you a hot & steamy weekend (I’ll be over there, cuddling with a box of cookies, haha)
Love,
Your Squishy Monster ^.~

I have been searching HIGH and LOW for a GOOD 순두부 recipe~ all the korean restraunts here are HORRIBLE~makes me miss home so much. All the recipes i have tried are too fishy or have kimchi in them! I can’t wait to try yours. Im going to do it this week and will let you know how it turns out!!! thank you!!!
Thai food is one of my favorites but I have to admit I am always the downer and like things barely spiced (a 2). My husband likes it very spicy so he always has to add extra spice.
I’m not craving heat but this looks too good to pass up

Spicy and hot and seafood…a girl after my own heart
I just made cup-of noodles …but I’m wishing it was Silken Tofu Seafood Soup!…it’s cold outside …and I need more ingredients!
I am always craving heat and love all of the intense flavors going on here!
Hi my squishy friend, I’m here…….. can I have one bowl please and make 2 eggs, seafood of my choice…prawns, please!!! Hope I’m not asking too much.LOL
This soup is definitely delicious until the last drop. I’m a soupy lady, soup is a must on my dinning table everyday. In fact we Asian believe soup can keep our youth look and maintain complexion . So drink more SOUP especially those contains herbs or herbal.
Have a squishy weekend. Stay tuned for my coming posting.
Spicy soup is the best! I’m definitely going to be trying this out!
OMG this is what I just need right now Angie…..even if I know I wouldnt make it as good as you do. I’m a big fan of tofu on soups, I just had one HOT POT last night @ an Asian fusion restaurant here @ Cerritos. Wish I could bring you there to get your opinion…hahaha!

You know you’re welcome anytime! Your little one is growing so fast! He’s like a little man =)
Tofu is wonderful, isn’t it? I would LOVE to go with you!!
YAAY!
That’s good to know—next time I’m scarfing everything down in sight, I can find solace in the fact that it’s good for me, lol! I hope you have a fabulous weekend, and you know I’ll be there!
Intense is about right, but I think that’s why I crave so much spicy–it gives you that jolt! =)
my favorite thing to add to those are scallions and shrimp =)
*blush* you are so incredibly sweet, Suzie!!
I keep forgetting that the climate is a bit different over there, lol =)
meee too! I think I have it at least every other week =)
Oooh, I hope you like it, Unni!!
I am and I do Angie! Thanks so much!! Got caught in a rain down por,lol but that is ok. Enjoy your week end!!
I am craving heat! Since having 3 kids, I have severely cut down my spices / heat because I’m the only one at home who will eat spicy…But I love this soup!!! Will be making this very soon!
Mmmm this soup sounds so delicious! I love spicy foods too
Oooh this looks so flavorful! Yum yum =)
What an incredible soup!
Thank you for your kind words =)
I hope you give it a try! ^.^
I could dedicate an entire years worth of recipes to spicy foods, I love it so much.
I completely understand–I don’t remember enjoying spice so much as a kid.
I love the comparison of eating to the enjoyment of watching a fire. Both are sexy!
I love a good spicy soup and this one is gorgeous. I love that you consider it an aphrodisiac too-how fun!
I’m glad that someone else sees the food and sensuality link
ohhhh yes
Always looking for new ways to make silken tofu! Great idea!
Ooh, I love Tofu too!
Believe it or not, I did leave a comment on this yesterday but the comment section was wacko and I was pretty sure it didn’t work so I’m glad I came back to check. It was very strange, I could only comment using my facebook account and it looked like leaving a facebook comment. Anyway, this is really something I’d love to slurp, I love hot in both senses and I looove Asian soups. Sounds so good with the seafood.
I apologize—lots of things are under construction at the moment. If it’s hot, spicy, AND has seafood, I’m all over it. One day soon, we’ll have lunch together and get to try all sorts of yummy things!!
i LOVE sundubu jjigae!!! this is so mouthwatering! ^^
I’m so impressed that you know it by name =) Brownie and cookie points from me!!!
If you ever come through KS, I’ll take you to My Tho-they have the best pho! Their broth…*oh!* lol
ooooh, YUM!!
Spicy hot dishes are the best!! And this one looks delish.
That sounds yum! Lima beans are some of my favorites, though, I really love all beans. Hope you’re enjoying yourself!
Please tell me how you make the mushroom broth.
I like to take about 5-6 cups of cold filtered water and bring it to a boil with a handful of anchovies, 2 pieces of kelp, and about a cup of mushrooms…you can use the discarded bits for this since you’re just trying to extract the flavor. I find that a variety works best…shiitake, enoki, cremini….(but button will do). Salt and pepper to taste and presto. (You could omit the anchovies/kelp if it won’t be used for an Asian based soup).
