By Tiffy Cooks
Don’t give in on having instant noodles just yet! This 10 Minute Tofu Kimchi Stew, or Kimchi-Jjigae 김치찌개 will help save your lazy weeknight dinners! This delicious stew gets all of that savory, umami, slightly sour flavors from a base of sauteed kimchi. Today, I’m adding some proteins with soft tofu and egg, but this recipe is super easy to customize. Next time you need a last minute meal helps clean the fridge, you have to try this cozy Korean soup!
