Sophia Eng makes kimchi tofu soup in the Thermomix TM7, with cubes of silken tofu simmering in a kimchi and gochujang broth built on chicken stock. We adapted the Cookidoo recipe with Grandma’s measurements, and this is the soup we reach for on cold nights, especially when there’s a jar of kimchi in the fridge that’s gone a little too sour to eat on its own. 🍲 Get your Thermomix TM7 through our consultant link for FREE shipping plus a $50 card toward accessories:

300 g water
60 g gochujang (Korean chili paste)

1 fresh red chili, sliced, to garnish FAQ What is kimchi tofu soup?
It’s a Korean stew, often called kimchi jjigae, made by simmering fermented kimchi and tofu in a savory broth. Ours gets its heat and color from gochujang, and the silken tofu makes it soft and spoonable. Can you make kimchi jjigae in a Thermomix?
Yes. Sophia makes the whole soup in the Thermomix TM7 in this video, from the garlic and onion to the silken tofu at the end. What kind of kimchi works best?
Older, well-fermented kimchi is the traditional choice for this soup. The extra sourness gives the broth more depth, so a jar that’s too tangy to eat on its own is perfect here. Is kimchi tofu soup spicy?
Between the kimchi and 60 g of gochujang it has a good kick. Leave off the fresh chilies, or use a milder kimchi, if you’re cooking for little ones. #kimchijjigae #thermomixtm7 #koreanfood
