Chop the tops off 8-9 green onions, saving half for the soup and half for garnish.

Mince garlic (4-5 tablespoons) and prepare gochugaru (2-3 tablespoons, or 4-5 for spicier).

Get 1 package of soft tofu (sauce kind) and 5-6 ounces of shrimp.

In a pot, add olive oil (or neutral flavored oil) and heat it up.

Add minced garlic to the hot oil and stir-fry to prevent burning, allowing the flavor to seep into the oil.

Add chopped green onions to the pot and stir-fry, lowering heat if necessary to avoid burning.

Mix in gochugaru, creating a paste with the garlic and green onions.

Add shrimp to the pot and sear it with the aromatics for flavor.

Pour in 1/2 cup of water, noting that the tofu will release more water later.

Crush the tofu into the pot, mixing it with the shrimp and other ingredients, and let it boil for 5-10 minutes.
