Add Kombu, and dried Shiitake Mushrooms. Lower the heat to a simmer and simmer for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, strain the dashi and set the liquid aside. The mushrooms can be sliced and added to the stew.
In a small pot or Ttuk-bae-gi (traditional korean earthenware pot) add cooking oil, onions, garlic, and whites of a green onion. Cook until softened.
Add mushrooms, Korean Radish, and a mixture of the sesame oil and Gochugaru. Stir until mushrooms and radish are coated with the Gochugaru and softened.
Add the dashi to the pot, along with 1 cup of water and salt, sugar and Gochujang (optional). Cover the pot, and bring to a boil.
Once boiling, add in the soft tofu, vegan Kimchi and Enoki Mushrooms and boil or 5 minutes.
Serve with sides and steam rice.
Enjoy!
Notes
Use freshly fermented kimchi for the best tangy flavor.
Soft tofu can break easily, so handle it gently while stirring.
If you prefer a thicker broth, reduce the liquid slightly.
Garnish with toasted sesame seeds for added crunch.
