Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Soft tofu (silken tofu)
- 2 tablespoons Gluten-free gochugaru (Korean red chili flakes)
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Gluten-free soy sauce
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 1 small Zucchini, diced
- 6 pieces Shiitake mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup Kimchi (check label for gluten-free)
- 3 cups Vegetable stock or water
- 1 large Egg (optional)
- 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
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.
