Korean tofu stew, spicy seafood hotpot - quick-fix version

I did say "I'll be back" when I ate my korean tofu stew- soon du bu, and I'm really back with my own quick-fix. No test of skills since I used a pre-packed tofu broth seasoning (no preservatives, no MSG)-Pulmuone brand, to make my seafood tofu stew. If you are thinking of making your own broth, you might need some beef extract, clam extract, red pepper and mussel extract - these are the ingredients of the Pulmuone pack.

Do you like Korean tofu stew ? I like it the best in the colder months but having it in summer is a different satisfaction altogether.

The Pulmuone broth, made quite an authentic Korean tofu stew (soon du bu)

When it's summer, and when you savor something spicy, SHIOK! It's that sweating feeling ;) Of course, I still like my korean tofu stew in Korean Tofu House, along El Camino Real, Santa Clara, and will go back again even though I can get an instant-soon du bu-fix at home. Quick-fix can't beat the real-fix.
