Step 1
Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high. Cook ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, until no pink remains, ~4 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in gochujang until it coats the beef, then add broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3 minutes.
Step 3
Gently add tofu cubes (don't stir; let them float). Lower heat to medium and simmer 4 minutes.
Step 4
Crack eggs one at a time into the stew, spacing them apart. Cover and cook until whites just set, ~3 minutes.
Step 5
Scatter bean sprouts over the top. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.
Step 6
Divide purple rice among bowls, ladle stew with an egg on top, and serve immediately.
