Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- 1/2 pound thinly sliced beef or pork
- 1/2 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
- 2 tablespoons gochugaru
- 2 cups Anchovy Stock (here), Beef Stock (here), vegetarian stock, or water
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 cups soft tofu, cubed
- 11 pound live clams or 1 cup shucked clams, rinsed
- 2 scallions, sliced
- Eggs (optional)
Instructions
- In a stockpot, warm the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef, garlic, and gochugaru and stir-fry for about 5 minutes.
- Add the stock and soy sauce to the pot, stir, and bring to a simmer. Add the tofu and return to simmer.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the clams, and simmer, uncovered, about 10 minutes, until the shells of live clams open or the shucked clams shrink. Discard any clams that did not open.
- Stir in the scallions and remove the pot from the heat.
- Crack 1 or 2 eggs, if using, into the pot about 2 minutes before you turn off the heat.

Notes
COOKING TIP: This tofu stew can be made mild to very spicy. This recipe is what I’d consider to be standard (medium hot), but you can omit the gochugaru and the gochujang for a nonspicy version.
INGREDIENT TIP: Uncoagulated tofu (pressed, with less water) is sold in tubes, but you can use silken tofu if you can’t find the really soft kind.
