Try Cooking Sundubu Jigae, an Easy Korean Food to Make

Some time ago, I made Sundubu Jigae. This food is one of the foods from South Korea. In fact, this food is very popular in Indonesia. The spicy, savory and sweet taste makes this food in demand by the people of Indonesia.

From some of the reviews I've read, although it looks like red gravy, it doesn't taste spicy. Sundubu Jigae can be garnished as spicy silken tofu soup. If you watch Korean dramas, these foods are always introduced to the audience. One of them is in the drama Itaewon Class. This food is one of the menus sold at Park Seo Joon's restaurant.

Where it comes from, this food has different names depending on the ingredients used. If you add seafood, this food will be called Haemul Sundubu Jigae. But, in some of the references that I read, you can cook this dish with the ingredients you have.

Besides Gochujang, this food uses chili powder called Gochugaru. This spice is the key to making this food red, the very important spice in this dish, sesame oil. However, I did not use sesame oil when making this dish.

Where did it come from, this food is eaten in winter. Served in a black pot. We all know that South Koreans love kimchi. They can also add kimchi as a complement when eating Sundubu Jigae. Maybe, I should try this food in a Korean restaurant.
