A rich, savory stew made by sautéing doenjang in the hearty fat of beef short ribs, then adding crisp spring onions for a deep, satisfying flavor.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • By sautéing the doenjang in the meat fat instead of dissolving it directly in the stock, the characteristic sharpness is eliminated, resulting in a deeper, richer, and more savory flavor.
  • Soak kombu and dried shiitake mushrooms in cold water the night before and refrigerate—this allows you to easily prepare a delicious, umami-rich stock without turning on the stove.
  • To balance the rich, heavy taste of beef short rib, include green chili pepper and a final sprinkle of black pepper—they are essential for a clean, well-rounded finish.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a much deeper, richer, and more savory version of doenjang jjigae with a restaurant-style beef flavor, far beyond regular doenjang jjigae.
  • Those who want to enjoy a fresh, seasonal Korean meal by pairing this stew with spring onion bibimbap for a full and satisfying table spread.
