Heat a medium pot over medium heat and add the sesame oil.
Once the oil is warm, add the minced garlic and gochugaru. Stir frequently for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the chili flakes.
Add the diced onion, zucchini, and shiitake mushrooms to the pot. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.
Stir in the gluten-free soy sauce and kimchi, cooking for another 2 minutes to release the flavors.
Pour in the vegetable stock or water and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for 5 minutes to allow the ingredients to meld together.
Gently add the soft tofu in large chunks, breaking it apart slightly with a spoon. Simmer for another 5 minutes to heat the tofu through.
If using the optional egg, crack it into the center of the stew. Cover the pot and let it cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the egg is cooked to your desired level.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in the chopped green onions just before serving.
Serve hot with a side of steamed white rice or gluten-free rice noodles.
