Lim Sung-geun's Cucumber Gochujang Jjigae

Cooking tips 💡

• Use only crisp, refreshing baekdada-gi cucumbers—regular green cucumbers become tough when boiled.
• Always strain the gochujang and doenjang to remove any residue; this ensures a clean, clear broth without heaviness.
• If you like tofu, add half a block, sliced, and cook it with the stew—it pairs wonderfully.
