Pour broth into a medium pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, ~3 minutes.

Stir in gochujang until dissolved, then add ramen noodles. Simmer for 3 minutes until noodles soften slightly.
Step 3
Gently slide tofu into the pot in large chunks without stirring. Let it warm through for 2 minutes.
Step 4
Create two small wells in the stew and crack an egg into each. Cover and cook until whites set but yolks jiggle, ~3 minutes.
Step 5
Scatter scallions over the top and serve immediately in bowls with broth.
