Soft tofu is what you need for this recipe: http://www.maangchi.com/ingredients/soon-du-bu

Without meat, it will still be delicious! No problem.

Hi Maangchi,

I don’t eat red meat, pork or poultry. Would it ruin the flavor if I left out the beef and just used the seafood mixture and shrimp?

Thanks!

Hi Maangchi,

I made this twice last week and it was really good. Now I need to find a dolsot so I can take a nicer picture the next time.

I had never tasted soondubu jjigae before making your recipe so I went to our local korean restaurant today and tried theirs. It was served bubbling hot in a small dolsot and the flavor was nearly identical except mine was spicier. It made me happy to know I made your recipe correctly. Thank you.

Hi Maangchi,

Would I be able to substitute the hot pepper flakes with hot pepper paste? Or would that change the flavor too much?

Also instead of making the anchovy stock, can I just use chicken stock or beef stock?

I’m trying to use what I have in the pantry so I don’t have to make a run to the store. lol

It’s up to you. Make the both versions and you choose your favorite. : ) I usually don’t use soybean paste in my soondubu jjigae.
