Recipe

Cooking tips

  • The key is to stir-fry the gochugaru quickly over low heat to prevent burning.
  • Adding soup soy sauce directly to the bottom of the pot and letting it sizzle adds deep umami and a smoky flavor to the broth.
  • Instead of clams, you can use thinly sliced beef brisket (chadolbagi) or other seafood according to your preference.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make the spicy, deep broth of restaurant-style sundubu jjigae at home.
  • Those who want to make a chili paste easily in one pot without separate chili oil.
  • Those who want a warm, spicy meal to comfort the stomach.
