Step 1
Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, ~4 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in gochujang until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour in dashi and bring to a simmer.
Step 3
Gently cut tofu into large cubes and slide them into the broth. Simmer 3–4 minutes without stirring hard to keep tofu intact.
Step 4
Crack eggs one at a time into the stew, spacing them out. Simmer 2–3 minutes until whites set but yolks stay runny.
Step 5
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Scatter green onion over the top.
Step 6
Serve immediately while bubbling, with a spoon to scoop broth, tofu, and egg into each bowl.
