Open the soft tofu pack and add it to the clay pot (if you have one. if you don't, you can use a small pot instead).

Add enough water (about 1/2 C) to fully cover the tofu. Get a spoon and break up the tofu into smaller pieces.
-
Stir 1 Tbs of chili sauce to the pot.
-
Add additional salt, soy sauce and fish sauce.
-
Start cooking the jjigae on medium high heat and once it starts to boil, turn heat to low.
-
Let it simmer for 7-10 minutes.
-
Take it off the heat and bring it to the table. Add the green onions and crack one egg and drop it into the pot while it's still bubbling.
-
Depending on your personal taste, you can break up the egg to have it cooked completely or let the egg stay whole in the jjigae if you enjoy eating half boiled eggs.
