Cooking tips

  • Slice potatoes thinly—about 3–4mm—to ensure they cook evenly and quickly.
  • Sautéing the doenjang before cooking removes its strong aroma and enhances its rich, nutty flavor.
  • Adding half a spoon of ssamjang during cooking easily brings out a savory, mouth-coating umami taste.

Recommended for
