A savory and rich doenjang jjigae made with mashed tofu, anchovy broth, and doenjang dissolved through a strainer

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Mashing a portion of the tofu with a knife and adding it thickens the broth slightly and infuses the entire soup with the deep, savory flavor of soybeans.
  • Straining the doenjang through a mesh sieve removes soybean solids, resulting in a clean broth and a smooth mouthfeel like that of a restaurant dish.
  • If the broth is boiled for more than 15–20 minutes, the anchovies can release a bitter taste, so remove the pack at the appropriate time.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make a restaurant-style doenjang jjigae with a clean yet rich broth without any heaviness.
  • Beginner cooks who want to easily and deliciously prepare a comforting home-cooked meal.
