Recipe

Add the chard, washed and cut into bite-sized pieces, and bring to a boil.
Add sliced green onion, cheongyang chili, and minced garlic to give the broth a spicy kick.
Finally, add diced tofu and simmer for one more minute to finish.

Add prepared chard, green onion, cheongyang chili, and minced garlic, then boil.
Add tofu and simmer briefly to finish.

Cooking tips

Chard stems can be tough; peel them slightly or gently knead with your hands before boiling to make them tender.
Adding a little cheongyang chili to doenjang soup helps cut the richness and makes the flavor clean and refreshing.
Do not boil tofu too long or it becomes firm; add it at the end to retain its soft texture.

Those who want to enjoy the tender texture of chard and a refreshing broth together.
