Sundubu jjigae, or soft tofu stew, is a nutritious and comforting meal with a spicy kick, provided by Korean dried chilli flakes. Often made with meat or seafood, this recipe has been veganised by using vegan kimchi and vegetable stock, and by packing the dish with plenty of hearty vegetables and mushrooms. This recipe is great served on its own, or with steamed white rice or noodles alongside.
