Recipe

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.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a fresh, exciting alternative to regular cucumber salad or cold noodles.
  • Home gardeners wanting to make a flavorful, clear broth stew using fresh homegrown cucumbers.
