Method
- 1
Cook the jasmine rice according to packet instructions.
- 2
Heat sesame oil in a medium saucepan over a medium heat. Add crushed garlic and gochugaru and fry for 1 minute until fragrant.
- 3
Add the kimchi and stir-fry for 2 minutes, then pour in the vegetable stock. Bring to a gentle boil.
- 4
Spoon in the silken tofu in large chunks. Simmer for 5 minutes, keeping the tofu as intact as possible.
- 5
Crack an egg into each serving bowl, then ladle the piping hot stew straight over — the heat will gently cook the egg. Serve with steamed rice alongside.
