Dubu Jorim (Spicy braised tofu with Egg)

Saw this braised tofu recipe in the Korean TV Food Programme "What shall we eat today?" and thought of give it a try since my husband likes tofu a lot and this version seems to have more gravy and appetizing with a bowl of hot rice!  And not to forget it's also full of protein from the tofu and eggs! ^^
