Notes
Silken/extra soft tofu: You will find two types of soft tofu at the Asian grocery store - packaged in a square container or a long tube. The latter will be easier to work with.Sesame oil and seeds: This is the star ingredient! If your child is allergic to sesame, you can substitute with perilla oil and seeds, aka deulkkae. It has an earthy, slightly minty flavor. Mushrooms: You can choose any variety.Egg: If there's an egg allergy you can leave it out. But if not, HIGHLY recommended. It adds a lovely richness to the stew.Storage: Will keep in the fridge for 3-4 days.
