So Keena went on vacay recently and blogged about a spicy tofu soup called Soondubu. Shame on me and my lack of knowledge about my Korean heritage because I didn't know about this dish until I read Keena's post. Lol. Anyway, so the other day I was too sick and too lazy to call around and find a place that could make this for me so I decided to make it on my own.
I found a recipe online but didn't really follow it so I kinda made it up as I went along. Here's the recipe I found with what I actually used.
Ingredients:
4 cups vegetable stock (I used 1 can of beef stock)
3 tbsp Gochujang (Couldn't find gochujang so I used 2 tbsp of a garlic chili paste)
1 cup water
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms (I just did a handful)
1 medium onion thinly sliced (I used half)
3 cups baby bokchoy (I used 2 baby bokchoy bushels)
2 cups bean sprouts (I grabbed a handful)
3 green onions (unfortunately the market was out of this so I didn't use any)
1 lb tofu crumbled (I used one block of tofu cut into cubes)
1 tbsp oil
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a soup pan and add onions. Cook until translucent.
2. Add chili paste, stock, and water.
3. Bring to a rapid boil.
4. Add all other ingredients stirring frequently.
So obviously I didn't go by the book on this one. But, it did taste AWESOME! Totally cleared my sinuses! Lol. Next time I make it I'll add different ingredients (shrimp, perhaps?) and let you know how that goes too!
Oh yeah, and my beef stew was amazing! The kids cleaned their plates and asked for more! Love when that happens!
Do you have an awesome recipe that you think I should try out? Let me know!
AND don't forget to start emailing me those guest posts! May is just around the corner and if you want to be a featured guest poster, email your draft post to me: frikkenduckie@gmail.com
I'm sorry girly, but I don't think there is a thing in there I would be willing to eat (of course, I'm just finicky)
ReplyDeleteI avoid recipes like this... Too many vegetable-type things, not enough sugar!
Haha ;) Glad the kids liked it though!!
