Cooking tips

  • When measuring minced garlic, use the lower part where the moisture and juice are more concentrated to preserve its deep, authentic flavor.
  • Soondubu makes the broth thinner, so ensure the broth is slightly salty before adding the tofu for perfect final seasoning.
  • You can freely substitute clams with your preference or seasonal ingredients such as beef short rib, squid, shrimp, or mussels—each variation delivers delicious results.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make a rich, deeply flavorful soondubu jjigae without artificial seasonings, just like at a professional restaurant.
  • People seeking a spicy, tangy soup for a hearty dinner or a great hangover cure.
