About Sundubu jjigae

Sundubu Jjigae is a traditional Korean soft tofu stew known for its spicy, comforting flavors. The dish typically includes uncurdled soft tofu, vegetables like zucchini and mushrooms, and protein options such as seafood, beef, pork, or egg, all simmered in a richly seasoned broth made with gochugaru (Korean chili flakes) and sesame oil. Sundubu Jjigae is often served bubbling hot, alongside steamed rice. Nutritionally, it’s high in protein from the tofu and optional meat or seafood, and offers vitamins and minerals from the added vegetables. The light yet nutrient-packed tofu is also low in calories, making it a health-conscious choice. However, the dish can be high in sodium due to seasoning components like soy sauce and salt. To make it healthier, reducing salt content or balancing the meal with fresh side dishes can be helpful. Sundubu Jjigae is a hearty, flavorful representation of Korean cuisine.
