I love my Korean clay pots (use mine for kimchi Jjigae). They make "one pot" cooking easy.

Chichi can come over anytime as dungeness crab are in my front yard here in Oregon so to speak.Should I try crab or clams?

Designruby: Yes, use your enameled cast iron. Whenever I am serving guests and I run out of tofu pots, I bust out my little Descowares and they do the trick. I wouldn't use a raw cast iron pot, though - that spicy broth would wear down your patina.

can this be made without a claypot? I want to make it for me and my husband, can I do it in a cast iron pot or a enamel coated cast iron dutch oven/pot? I have everything to make this at home already, just need to figure out the cooking part...

Thanks! This recipe looks yummy!

Back from lunch and it was F#$&*@ng Fantastic!! Picked up a small chunk of ib eye at he market in my building and have everything else at home. And you're right, the homemade Soondubu paste was perfect. Thank you again.

thanks chichi.

your recipe made me go get the soon tofu at the restaurant right next to the korean market, as it will be a few days before i'm able to make this between work and all.

i'm now on the search for a heat diffuser. :)

so i saw this recipe and promptly went out to the korean market (bloor street, toronto) and got a clay pot for this. it occurred to me that i'm not sure if the pot (which looks pretty much exactly as it does in the pictures) can be used on the my apartment's electric stove. does anyone have any suggestions or advice?

Hi guys, thanks for all the tofu love!

Piccola: I make vegetarian versions of soondobu ALL the time to recover from my other meat-laden meals. I still use meat stock, but you could easily replace with vegetable stock, or even water.

I know it's not traditional, but I'm definitely trying to make a veg version.

I absolutely love Soondubu! I've asked numerous Korean friends for recipes and their answer always seems to be "My mom makes it. I don't know how she does it. She doesn't follow a recipe." So thankful that you posted one - definitely making this soon.

I have as long as i can remember been a fan of girl scout cookies. i had different ways of eating the specific type; samoas in the fridge or even freezer, thin mints, with milk, bite opposite ends of the cookie off just a bit, and suck the milk through the middle...the cookie got soft and milk soaked, and the coating kept it whole, and when you popped it in your mouth and chewed it...WOW, same way for tagalongs...A signifigant part of me is saddened by the thought...but i offer an alternative for interested parties.
Come see what i have been up to in the kitchen. I keep tabs with the newsletter and love it, it gives me brief respite from the day.
Everyone for your consideration, i humbly and thankfully give you

Prices appear to vary, yeah. I got stung for $4 a box, although I saw $3.50 on eBay, so I assume it was a local attempt to retain more money.. I really DO hate that the troop sees so little but as a former Girl Scout who did her share of cookie-pushing, I always feel like I gotta. I spend years sending mom and dad to work with order forms (you have to be MY age to remember that) and I still love Thin Mints and tend to buy the "heftier" ones, not the 8-to-a-box versions. (I liked the tea cookies, am trying the "dulche de leche" this year).

I try to buy at least some from "real" Scouts, not just the parents It might be agony talking to adults from behind a card table, but I like to at least TRY to get them to make eye contact (easier now that i'm shorter, using a wheelchair).

BTW, the price of GS cookies (and the profit percentage) is still WAY better than the stuff my kids are expected to sell for their school. At least I can buy 3 boxes of GS cookies for $9 from my receptionist's granddaughter, and my husband can buy some from some other kid, and we spread the support without breaking the bank. The last time my kids brought a fundraiser home, there wasn't a single item (operative word, SINGLE) for under $14.99. So the minimum I can spend - since I can't just buy from one of my kids - is $30. Last I heard the school only gets 10%. I asked if I could just write a check to the school, and the office staff got REALLY confused. =P
