Quick Soft Tofu Stew

Super quick and easy to whip up, made this during my lunch break. Still delicious, comforting and filling. The gochugaru is really nice and not overly spicy, and I never had shimeji mushrooms before but they have a nice umami! I’ll definitely this again, maybe w different mushrooms/veggies :)

What a win, Sara! So glad you enjoyed the gochugaru and tried shimeji mushrooms (aren’t they fun?) Enjoy the different veggie combos 🤗

J'ai beaucoup aimé, c'est simple et savoureux

I loved this dish! Very easy lunch to make, quick and doesn’t require a lot of ingredients. I also loved the level of spice here, very nice and warming

I love this. I've made it a few times and my husband made it last night for his spice-averse family so we scaled that down a bit. It tasted very flavoursome still but it felt like it missed something. It turns out he forgot to add the stock cubes!

Aw so glad to hear that the quick tofu stew is being enjoyed, Phillipa! It's one of our favourites lately too ☺️

Wonderful

Love this recipe! I made with a little less gochugaru but added some gochujang - it was delicious

it was both too spicy and bland at the same time :( also the gochugaru burned immediately even though I only had it on medium heat. I was able to save it with some soy cuisine and more soy sauce etc. but probably won't make it like this again.

Hi Helen, we're sad to hear this! Did you swap any of the ingredients or portion sizes? If not and you try the recipe again, reducing the heat and stirring continuously can help prevent the gochugaru from burning.

This is like a hug in a bowl I will definitely be making this again. Had no mushroom sauce so used hoisin 💚

My fav recipe here so far. Super comforting, flavorful, and easy to make.

Ciao Sadia, I cannot find gochugaru at my neighborhood asian stores unfortunately :( Could I use some gochujang paste instead?

Hey Michela - yes, you can use gochujang paste instead of gochugaru in this recipe if you'd like. To replace the gochugaru, you could start with 1 tablespoon of gochujang paste, and add more to your desired level of spiciness 😊

Love this simple meal

Good but I think it needs some more flavor.

Very easy and pretty good given how fast it took

Love this! So easy, quick and delicious with a great spicy kick. I used oyster sauce instead of the stir fry mushroom as I couldn’t find it and it turned out great!

This was really nice and fun to make! I couldn't find a bottle of mushroom stirfry sauce so used the same amount from one of those sachets of stir fry sauces, replaced gochugaru with paprika and a pinch of chili powder to make it milder and added 2 noodle nests. It was still delicious!

Sounds yummy! Thanks for taking the time to share your twist on the recipe, Anni 😃

This truly was so quick to put together and very tasty! I didn't have mushrooms so I subbed with zucchini - very delicious meal with rice!

Just made this and it was DELICIOUS. Didn’t have gochugaru, so it didn’t get the rich color, but it tasted divine.

If I don’t have gonjugaru what can I replace.

Hey Juhan! Red chili flakes can be used, but are spicier than gochugaru so it's best to start with less and add more to taste 🤗

Taste amazing and so easy to make! 🤩
