Kimchi, Tofu and Tomato Egg Drop Soup recipe by Uyen Luu

A cross between bún riêu and Korean jjigae, this extremely quick and easy soup is delicious, nutritious and completely soothing and comforting on colder, rainy days. It can also serve as a canvas to enjoy lots of leftovers, as anything can be added to the mix, from whatever vegetables you have to roughly chopped meat or seafood. Add as little or as much tofu as you like, and feel free to add additional herbs or chillies if you want a little spice. Serves 4 as a light meal.

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Pour the unseasoned chicken stock or water into a saucepan and bring to the boil, then add the stock pot, cherry tomatoes, spring onions and tofu. Wait for it to come back up to a simmer, then use chopsticks or a spoon to swirl the soup.

Step 2

Gently pour in the beaten eggs while continuing to swirl. Cook for a further 2 minutes, then remove from the heat and add the kimchi, fish sauce and coriander. To serve, either pour over vermicelli noodles, ramen noodles, or steamed rice or eat as it is with crusty bread.
