If gochujang hasn’t made it to your pantry yet, this stew recipe would also work with virtually any miso.

Preparation
Step 1
Heat oil in a large saucepan over high. Cook white and pale-green parts of scallions, garlic, and ginger, stirring often, until softened and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add broth, then whisk in gochujang and soy sauce. Add daikon and gently simmer until daikon is tender, 15–20 minutes.
Step 2
Add kimchi and tofu. Simmer until tofu is heated through. Carefully divide among bowls. Thinly slice reserved scallion tops and scatter over.

Back to TopThis was a pleasantly easy and healthy weeknight meal with few dishes! I’ll make it again for sure. I agree with other reviewers that it needs at least 1 full package of silken tofu, and could take 2.

Like many reviewers here, I love this recipe as is. Currently, I double the broth and tofu. I add bok choy, mushrooms, and anything else I have on hand.

Very delicious and easy! I modified the recipe by adding a handful of mushrooms in with the aromatics, and two full packages of silken tofu. I also added bok choy and an egg at the end of cooking to serve. I have never cooked with daikon before but it's delicious. This recipe has a lot of protein but is quite light and warming. I'll definitely make again!

This was delicious. I added a little bit of thin noodles to it since I had them and it was perfect. Super easy!

Is there a substitute ingredient for the gochujang? I cannot eat spicy food because of stomach problem. I love to try to cook the kimchi stew with tofu. Thank you, Mary Ann

This was so good! It’s also super easy - the newbiest of newbie chefs could make this. I sautéed my aromatics for a few minutes in sesame oil instead of veggie oil. I also added the gochujang and daikon at this stage as well as some mushrooms, then added the broth. I doubled the kimchi and the tofu and served with udon and bok choy - super filling and super delicious! Feel free to go heavy on the gochujang and soy sauce, I think this recipe needs more than it calls for. I added a splash of rice vinegar to up the acidity too :)
