In addition to K-food, which is well-known in foreign countries such as Bulgogi, Kimchi, and Pork Belly, there is Hidden Gem, which is quietly popular with foreigners.
It's soft bean curd jjigae.
The spicy soup, soft tofu, and the charm of keeping the inside warm are captivating the taste of foreigners.

The specialness of soft bean curd jjigae
soft bean curd jjigae is a traditional K-food that combines thick broth and soft tofu. Based on anchovies or kelp broth, it has a spicy taste with red pepper powder and garlic, and it is boiled with various ingredients such as seafood, meat, kimchi, onions, and zucchini. If you drop raw eggs at the end, the taste becomes more tender and savory.
The soft texture and spicy taste of soft tofu in the mouth are said to be impressive to all foreigners who have encountered them.
It's a menu that makes you feel reassured and comfortable inside when you eat it with white rice.
Gordon Ramsay, the U.K.'s Star Chef, also visited soft bean curd jjigae when he visited Korea and commented, "The deep balance of taste is very impressive." As such, soft bean curd jjigae is a menu that captures the tradition of K-food.
Starting with LA in the U.S., big cities have been popular for a long time with franchises with soft bean curd jjigae such as BCD as the main menu. In particular, Americans who visit LA headquarters call it 'late night comfort food'.

Here are summarized the charm of soft bean curd jjigae.
