Main Ingredients- 1/2 block firm tofu (approx. 150g)
- 1 medium potato
- A small amount of green onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 Korean chili pepper, finely chopped (optional)
- 1 egg
Seasoning & Broth- 2 Tbsp soy sauce for soup (Guk-ganjang)
- Pinch of black pepper
- 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic
- Salt to taste
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce for soup (Guk-ganjang)
- Pinch of black pepper
- 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic
- Salt to taste
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare all your ingredients. Peel the potato and cut it into bite-sized cubes. Dice the tofu similarly. Finely chop the green onion and Korean chili pepper. Crack the egg into a small bowl and lightly whisk it.
Step 2
In a pot, combine the cubed potatoes and a little water (or anchovy broth). Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Once the potatoes begin to soften slightly, add a pinch of black pepper to eliminate any gamey odors. Cooking the potatoes first helps create a clearer, fresher broth.
Step 3
Once the broth starts boiling, stir in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce for soup (Guk-ganjang) and 1/2 tablespoon of minced garlic. Then, add the diced tofu and let it simmer for a few minutes.
Step 4
The tofu is ready when it floats to the surface. Taste the broth and season with salt as needed. It’s best to add salt gradually and taste as you go. After seasoning, add the chopped green onion and Korean chili pepper, and simmer for another 1-2 minutes to infuse their flavors.
Step 5
Finally, slowly drizzle the whisked egg into the simmering soup, moving in a circular motion. Use chopsticks or a spoon to gently stir the soup as you pour, preventing the egg from clumping. Cook until the egg is set and floats on top, then turn off the heat.
Step 6
Your comforting Potato and Egg Soup is ready! Enjoy it piping hot for the best flavor. Serve with a bowl of rice for a satisfying and nourishing meal.
