Step 1
Heat the 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add the 1 cup kimchi and 2 minced garlic cloves; cook until fragrant and the kimchi is slightly softened, about 3 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in the 1 tbsp gochugaru and 2 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer; let it bubble gently for 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
Step 3
Gently slide the 1 block soft tofu into the stew, breaking it into large chunks with a spoon. Simmer until the tofu is heated through, about 3 minutes.
Step 4
Taste and season with salt if needed. Serve hot, with rice if you like.
