KOREAN SOFT TOFU STEW (SOON DU BU JIGAE)
This is an easy and authentic version of Korean tofu stew. I used to eat this every day at a very popular restaurant. I befriended a woman who worked there and she gave me the recipe. It's very versatile. Small pieces of meat or seafood can be added. It's thick and great in the winter and can be made very mild or very spicy. I've seen some recipes on the internet for this dish that are the American version. They may be good too but this one is authentic.

Steps:
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the Korean chile powder and ground beef. Cook and stir until the beef is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink. Stir in the soy bean paste, coating the beef. Pour in the water and bring to a boil. Season with salt and pepper. Gently drop tofu into the soup and continue cooking until the tofu is heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and quickly add the egg into the soup, stirring gently to break it up. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onion.

TOMATILLO STEW
A versatile stew base that can be switched to suit any palate. The tomatillos give this stew base a plenty of citrus flavors, so feel free to leave out the additional lime juice. The roasted poblanos provide a very subtle heat that is not at all overpowering. If more heat is desired, add a couple of chopped chipotles in adobo or 2-3 chopped serrano or jalapeño chiles. Serving Ideas: When the stew has cooked about halfway (step 4), add meat of choice: shredded roast chicken or thinly sliced boneless pork chops would be equally good. In the original version, I used 1 1/2 pounds of pre-cooked beef tongue; the richness of the meat paired quite well with the tart flavors in the stew. For a veggie version, stir in some cubed eggplant or winter squash or whatever protein substitute you like.

Steps:
- Remove and discard husks from the tomatillos and rinse well. Place in a medium sauce pan with the water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until tomatillos are softened, about 10 minutes. Let cool slightly and pour into blender container; blend or pulse to desired smoothness. Set aside.
- While tomatillos are cooking, roast poblanos. Place on a baking sheet under broiler, turning frequently until skins are blackened and blistered all over. Alternately, place over gas burner of stove, turning with long-handled tongs--take care not let handles of tongs overheat and burn your hands. When chiles are blackened all over, place in a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a dish towel. Let sit for 15-20 minutes, until cool enough to handle. Rub skins from chiles; cut in half and discard stems and seeds. Dice chiles and set aside.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions, bell pepper, and carrots to skillet and sauté until onions become translucent, 5-7 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring so garlic doesn't burn. Add diced poblanos, tomatillo mixture, can tomatoes, oregano and cumin. Stir and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, for 15-20 minutes.
- If stew gets too thick, add additional water or chicken broth to desired thickness. Season to taste with salt and pepper and stir in lime juice and oregano, if using. Add meat or other ingredients and cook for an another 10-15 minutes and serve over steamed white rice with hot tortillas on the side.
WHITE SOONDUBU JJIGAE (MILD TOFU STEW)
This Korean stew features velvety silken tofu in a clear, savory broth that allows the nutty flavor of the tofu to shine. Dried kelp, radishes and shiitake mushrooms build the base of the soothing soup: Radishes impart sweetness, while the kelp and mushrooms add earthy notes. Sesame seeds give each spoonful an extra toasty flavor and crunch. Traditionally, the stew is finished with eggs that have been gently poached, with runny yolks that enrich the broth. If desired, crack four eggs into the stew once the tofu is warmed through and let them simmer gently for three minutes.

Steps:
- In a large Dutch oven, combine kelp, radish, dried shiitakes and 5 cups of water, and bring to a simmer over high heat. Cover, reduce heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes. Transfer kelp and mushrooms to a cutting board, and transfer broth with radish pieces to a bowl and reserve. Chop kelp into 1-inch pieces, very thinly slice the mushrooms and add both to reserved broth.
- In the empty Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high. Add all but ¼ cup of the scallions, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 2 minutes. Add garlic, sesame seeds and ginger, and stir until well combined and fragrant, about 30 seconds. Then add the reserved broth and vegetables, the zucchini and soy sauce, and bring to a boil over high. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until zucchini and radish are tender, about 15 minutes.
- Stir in tofu and sesame oil, and cook until tofu is warmed through, 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Divide jjigae in 4 bowls and garnish each with some of the reserved scallions. Serve hot with rice on the side.
Tips:
- Choose firm or extra-firm tofu. This will hold its shape better in the stew.
- Press the tofu before cooking. This will help to remove excess moisture and make the tofu more flavorful.
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will add color, flavor, and nutrients to the stew.
- Don't overcook the tofu. Otherwise, it will become tough and rubbery.
- Serve the stew with your favorite toppings. Such as cilantro, lime wedges, or avocado.
