Spicy Korean Tofu Soup

This traditional Korean soup features easier-to-find ingredients without sacrificing any flavour. For example, instead of traditional dried anchovies or fermented shrimp paste, we've used umami-rich fish sauce. The one exception is the gochugaru, which gives the soup its authentic flavour; you can find it in major grocery stores as well as Asian markets.
