Description
Ingredients
- 2 cups (16 oz) kimchi
- 2 tablespoons each: sesame oil, soy sauce, and rice wine vinegar, plus extra for serving
- 2 cups cooked rice (here's our recipe: pot of rice)
- 1 pound silken tofu
- 1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced (about 1/2 cup)
Instructions
- To speed up the process, microwave 2 quarts of water on high power as you gather your ingredients (about 5 minutes).
- Heat a large soup kettle over medium-high heat. Add kimchi, sesame oil, soy sauce, and vinegar, followed by the hot water and rice. Just as the soup comes to a simmer, add tofu, breaking it up with your hands as you drop it in the pot. Return to a simmer. Stir in scallions and serve immediately, letting everyone flavor their soup with extra sesame oil, soy sauce, and vinegar to taste.
