Cooking tips 💡

  • Unlike traditional cacio e pepe, there's no need for precise temperature control when melting cheese, so even beginners can succeed easily.
  • Since the saltiness of doenjang varies by household, it's recommended to add it gradually while tasting rather than adding it all at once.
  • The savory doenjang cream sauce left in the pan after finishing the pasta can also be used as a delicious accompaniment for grilled meat dishes.
