1. Soft Tofu Stew (Sundubu Jjigae)
A flaming hot pot of Sundubu Jjigae is a flavorful Korean dish. Made with super soft tofu, a few bits of seafood, addictive kimchi soup, and an egg thrown on top, there’s not much else as comforting on a cold rainy day.
This tofu stew is best enjoyed with a side of steamed rice and a few pickled vegetables.
2. Hangover Stew (Haejangguk )

As a lover of fish, it was a joy to eat the same delicious Korean kimchi soup base made with fish. Though the fish was filled with bones, the flavor it provided was nothing short of outstanding!
