Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Even without making a separate stock, dissolving doenjang and ssamjang in a 3:1 ratio gives the rich umami characteristic of specialty restaurants.
  • 0.5 tbsp of vinegar loses its sourness during boiling and perfectly removes the dull, unpleasant smell of doenjang.
  • Do not stir-fry the thinly sliced beef brisket from the beginning; add it at the final stage of cooking so the meat does not become tough and the savory fat is properly released.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to quickly boil high-quality doenjang jjigae without making a separate stock.
  • Those looking for fail-proof umami with the golden ratio of doenjang and ssamjang.
