Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat broth in a large pot over medium-high until steaming, about 3 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Whisk gochujang into the broth until completely smooth and incorporated.

  3. Step 3

    Add mushrooms and scallions, then gently break tofu into large bite-sized pieces and slide them into the pot.

  4. Step 4

    Bring to a rolling simmer and cook 4 minutes until mushrooms soften and broth starts to bubble.

  5. Step 5

    Crack each egg directly into the stew. Cook 2 minutes until whites just set but yolks still jiggle.

  6. Step 6

    Drizzle sesame oil over the top and serve immediately in bowls with the broth.

Tools you’ll need

  • large pot (3-quart minimum)
