Soon du bu (spicy tofu stew)
14 Sep
Soon Du Bu (aka Soon Doo Boo) is a spicy anchovy based stew with chunks of super soft tofu and other vegetables. Most Soon Du Bu specialty restaurants will give you a bunch of options. You can choose to get white (no spicy seasonings), mild, medium, hot, or a bean paste based soup, similar to miso. They even give you the option to add mushrooms, seafood, pork, beef, Kimchi, or a combination of the aforementioned ingredients. I threw in whatever I had on hand for this particular recipe.
This stone bowl keep the soup nice and hot so that it doesn’t get cold as you eat. As you can see, it totally fogged up my camera lens, and continued to bubble for a good 10 minutes.
When it’s cold outside, there is nothing more comforting than eating soups! This is one of my favorite soups and I have a feeling I will be eating a lot of it this winter! Won’t you join me in this endeavor of eating delicious Soon Du Bu at home? 
Feel free to add ground beef, or ground pork, or your favorite seafood to this recipe. Also, check out my other recipes for Korean Soups.
