Sundubu-jjigae is spicy unpressed tofu stew. Sundubu jjigae is Korea's hot and spicy stew made from unpressed tofu/super-soft uncurdled tofu, seafood, mushrooms, onions, Kombu (kelp) and Gochujang, (Korean savory chilli pepper paste). A raw egg is cracked straight into the dish just before serving.
Sundubu-jjigae is usually made in a special earthenware bowl called a Ddukbaegi which can be heated directly on a stovetop and then the dish is served in the same bowl while it is still steaming hot.
