Rice Cooker Kimchi Tofu Soup

Recipes by Chantal Braganza; produced by Sun Ngo; photography by Christie Vuong; food styling by Sage Dakota; prop styling by Nicole Billark.

This quick, one-pot riff off soondubu—a Korean tofu stew—is made simple with a rice cooker. I make it often for a WFH lunch, and sometimes eat it straight out of the bowl.

Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups chicken stock

  • 1 cup chopped kimchi

  • 1 pkg (300 g) silken tofu, chopped

  • ½ cup short-grain rice

To serve

  • 1 tbsp sesame oil (for serving)

  • Sliced scallions (for serving)

Instructions

  • Combine: Place the chicken stock, chopped kimchi, silken tofu, and short-grain rice into the bowl of your rice cooker.

  • Cook: Set the rice cooker to its standard "Cook" or "White Rice" setting.

  • Finish: Once the cycle is complete and the rice is tender, divide into bowls.

  • Serve: Drizzle with sesame oil and top with sliced scallions.
