so the new cold remedy soup will be korean soft tofu stew

i made it today
and
it was easy and good
i'm not sure i made it exactly

i went to the food court
attracted by the words soft tofu
thinking it would be all veg
and i got a veg one
but mostly they were meat

i really loved it
so i thought i'd try to reproduce it
i didn't get soft enough tofu though
but it was still delicious

it's toasted sesame oil [this is my recreation]
with garlic, onion and red pepper powder cooked in the hot oil, briefly
then i added some shrimp paste
and this awesome liquid veg broth to hot water
and stirred it in

one small carrot grated in
two handfuls snow peas
couple of cups of either shredded cabbage or bok choy
brick of tofu cut into cubes
[it's really supposed to be some special soft tofu
like clouds in the bowl
but my regular tofu poached in spicy broth was nice]
and
a package of enoki mushrooms

when i turned off the heat
i stirred in some white miso

super fast, super easy
and i was surprised that i didn't have to experiment more
to get the flavor i was looking for

love enoki, love them up, yum
