Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Using kombu-infused broth instead of plain water enhances the depth and umami richness of the stew.
  • Sautéing the pastes in oil first eliminates the raw, heavy taste of doenjang and results in a smoother, richer broth.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to recreate the rich, savory flavor of a restaurant-style doenjang jjigae at home.
  • Those looking for a clean, slightly spicy soup to serve alongside grilled meats.
