Here’s what they had to say on this one – “Sundob is extra soft tofu, popular in Korean dishes such as sundobu-jjigae or soft tofu stew. The deep flavor of this Korean-inspired soup comes from pork and clams as well as garlic and chile. The medium-thick noodles retain a good chewiness and are very easy to eat! This spicy and umami-full soup is topped with a combination of kimchi, tofu, green onions and chili.”

They also mention to ‘cook an egg through the hot soup as they do in Korea.’ Let’s give this a try.
