Regular Sundubu vs. Haemul Sunbudu

Most people have heard of Sundubu or Soondubu Jjigae, but have you heard of Haemul Sunbudu Jjigae? Haemul means seafood in Korean. The Haemul version is typically loaded with seafood medley, like squid, clams, shrimp or even muscles! And of course, vegetables and extra soft tofu. If you love seafood, you will love this stew too!

Elevated by the house made spicy paste; will leave you satisfied with a wonderful harmony in your mouth! And don’t forget to serve with a bowl of hot sticky rice!! There are many variations of this soup out there, but this is my version of Haemul Sundubu Jjigae!! Hope you guys can try it out one day!! It’s super delicious!!
