Seungwoo Dad's Chadol Doenjang Jjigae

A recipe that replicates the rich, heavy, and nutty flavor of a meat restaurant-style doenjang jjigae using store-bought jjigae soybean paste and crushed sesame.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Use commercially available jjigae-specific soybean paste from the market rather than traditional fermented soybean paste to get the characteristic umami.
  • Adding roasted sesame seeds that are coarsely crushed (kkebusungi) rather than finely ground helps balance the saltiness and adds body to the broth.
  • Do not add the brisket from the beginning; add it at the final stage after the stew has fully boiled to prevent it from becoming tough.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to recreate the rich, spicy, and savory doenjang jjigae taste from meat restaurants at home.
  • Those who prefer a hearty soup dish with plenty of fatty brisket.
