BCD Tofu House: The 24 hour Korean Tofu Soup place

This is not the first place I’ve had "jige" (jee gay) said very quickly.  I don’t know really how to pronounce the food I ate.  I think "jige" just means soup.

But basically it’s Tofu soup.  It’s served in an hot iron bowl and you need to put a napkin to prevent the boiling splattering soup from getting all over your clothes.  For those that think tofu is awful I suggest you try this because hot and in soup it tastes pretty much like eggs.  On top if which when I had "jige" I had an raw egg with it.  The soup is boiling so when you put the egg in it it pretty much cooks immediately.

It’s more than just tofu and soup though.  You have to choose what kind of things you want in your soup.  Pork, Chicken etc…  If you like spicy I suggest you go for Kim Chee Tofu Jige.

    Tofu Jige Recipe

    I had a similar tofu soup at a Korean BBQ. It was just called “creamy tofu soup”. It had shrimp and beef and was heavily spicy (also came with the raw egg). It was great! Does anybody know where I can get the recipe to make this at home???

    I don’t have the recipe, but I’ve seen “packaged tofu soup mix” in Korean markets around LA. Someone gave us a pack and we put it into tofu, does make it taste a little like the restaurant stuff. I think it’s <$5 a pack for for like 4 or 6 servings, so you can give it a shot if you like.
