Cooking tips

  • In Italy, instead of regular Korean tofu, using firm local tofu flavored with herbs or sesame prevents it from crumbling and adds a unique charm.
  • When there is no onion, using plenty of green onion or leek (Western green onion) can supplement the particularly sweet and clean broth flavor.
  • Stir-frying the pork gently until it is savory and fully renders its oil before adding water greatly enhances the deep flavor of the broth.
  • Adding fresh mugwort at the end tames the heavy aroma of the doenjang and provides a refreshing, fragrant twist.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to recreate the deep flavor of home-style doenjang-jjigae using local overseas ingredients.
  • Those who want to experience the unique harmony of Western vegetables and tofu meeting traditional Korean doenjang.
  • Those seeking a clean, savory soup dish infused with the strong aromas of mugwort and a variety of vegetables.
