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.
