If you love Mexican pozole, you'll probably like Korean Soon Dubu Chigae:

The Mexican pozole is a rich and spicy stew built on hominy, loaded with pork or chicken, spiced with chile de arbol, and topped off with cabbage, oregano, radishes, cilantro and lime juice.

The Korean Soon Dubu Chigae is a rich and spicy stew built around tofu, loaded with pork, beef or seafood, spiced with Korean chili peppers, fortified with cabbage. It is often topped off with an egg that is quickly cooked when mixed with the steaming hot stew.

In Los Angeles, California, where Koreatown is now mostly Latino, Mexicans eating soon and Koreans eating pozole are a common sight.
