Author's Notes

If you are not a fan of the raw egg, you can fry the egg on the side and add that on top when it’s done! Just as tasty!

For a quicker and simpler recipe, skip making the broth and use pre-made broth. This will cut the recipe time by 20-30 minutes, but if you have the time to invest in the broth I’d highly recommend it!

If you can’t find Korean radish for the broth, you can substitute it with daikon radish but the flavors will be stronger.

If you are using the tube soft tofu, don’t use the spout to remove the tofu from the packaging. Cut the tube in half down the middle and gently squeeze the tofu out that way.
