Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Sweet and tangy cucumbers (Oh eeh muchim)

    • dubumandu on April 01, 2026

      These are so delicious I even liked them, & I usually hate cucumbers. My husband loves cucumbers & he loved this recipe. I used almost all of a bag of mini snacking cucumbers from Costco and sliced thinly with a knife instead of a mandolin. I used the author's blended garlic with water. I usually prep ginger in a food processor & freeze it, so I used that instead of the author's blended ginger. Tasted great!

  • Kimchi stew (Kimchi chigae)

    • dubumandu on March 29, 2026

      Tasty & simple to make recipe! My kimchi was extra sour, so I added an extra 1/2 T of sugar to balance the flavor. Also added tofu, sliced red Korean chilis (??? honggochu), & sliced rice cakes (? ddeok).

Publishers Text

In Sohn-mat, which translates to "hand taste" and refers to intuitive cooking, Chef Monica Lee showcases recipes for soon tofu, the iconic Korean soup made with soft tofu, from her beloved LA Koreatown restaurant Beverly Soon Tofu.

Sohn-mat is a master class in how to make this exceptional tofu soup at home, as well recipes for all of the other dishes you need to complete the meal, from banchan, to kimchi, to large-format dishes like bibimbap.

Beyond its loyal customers, Beverly Soon Tofu was highly acclaimed. The restaurant was written about by Jonathan Gold and Ruth Reichl, and profiled by Anthony Bourdain in Parts Unknown. Blending the technical expertise of a chef with the practical know-how of a home cook, Sohn-mat offers what no other Korean book on the market does: a level of sophistication that is still geared toward the home kitchen.

Sohn-mat is for fans of Beverly Soon Tofu and those interested in learning about Korean food and cultivating their own intuitive cooking skills.
