On a cold night, there’s nothing more comforting than a hearty, spicy soup. Using prepared kimchi packs a huge punch of flavor with very little effort.
In the Instant Pot, combine the kimchi, onion, mushrooms, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, soy sauce, gochugaru, sugar, salt, and water.
Secure the lid on the pot. Close the pressure-release valve. Select MANUAL/PRESSURE COOK and set the pot at HIGH pressure for 3 minutes. At the end of the cooking time, allow the pot to sit undisturbed for 10 minutes, then quick-release any remaining pressure.
Stir in the green onions and tofu and serve.
Notes
NOTE: dark soy sauce—also called Chinese black soy sauce—is a dark brown and slightly thick soy sauce. It is less salty than regular soy sauce and has a lightly sweet flavor.
