Step 1
Cut tofu into 0.5-inch cubes. Pour dashi into a medium pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Add gochugaru and gochujang to the boiling broth, stirring until dissolved, about 30 seconds.
Step 3
Add tofu cubes and kimchi. Drain the tuna and break it into bite-sized chunks, then add to the pot.
Step 4
Simmer for 5 minutes. The broth should bubble gently and smell deeply savory and spicy.
Step 5
Stir in green onions and cook 1 minute more until bright green and fragrant.
Step 6
Taste and adjust salt or heat as needed. Ladle into bowls and serve immediately.
