Kim Jin-soon Cheonggukjang

Cooking tips 💡

• Rinsing the seasoning off the sour kimchi before adding it helps eliminate the characteristic pungent and musty smell of cheonggukjang, giving a clean and refreshing taste.
• Cheonggukjang is heat-sensitive, so do not add it at the beginning and boil for a long time. Instead, stir it in at the end and boil only briefly to preserve its savory aroma and nutrients.
• Adding a little doenjang first to season the base helps the flavors meld better than using cheonggukjang alone, resulting in a rich, well-infused broth.
