Soondubu jjigae is usually served with steamed rice. You can take a spoonful of soup, add it to a bit of the rice in your bowl, and eat a mouthful of jjigae-rice together like that. OR you can do the opposite, ie. put some of your rice into the soup, eat it up, then add more rice, and repeat. If you're eating soondubu jjigae on its own with no rice (which I do pretty often when I've already consumed way too many carbs for the day), you can just ignore all of that and enjoy by itself! Make sure to get some tofu in each bite, that's the best part!
