Cooking tips

  • Stir-frying the doenjang in oil first removes the raw, muddy taste and any off-odor, deepening its flavor.
  • Zucchini becomes too soft if boiled for too long, so add it at the final stage to preserve its texture.
  • Discolored garlic can cause off-odors, so it's best to use fresh minced garlic.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a side dish to mix with leafy greens for ssam or freshly cooked rice.
  • Those who want to easily make a rich, savory gangdoenjang without fail.
