Cooking tips

  • Store-bought ‘just boil and eat’ doenjang seasonings often contain bone broth or garlic components, so you don't need to add minced garlic separately for a delicious result.
  • If chadolbagi isn't available, you can use thinly sliced pork belly, beef brisket, or regular pork for stews by rendering the fat first.
  • If you want to recreate that spicier, more pungent restaurant taste, slice one Cheongyang chili pepper and add it at the end.

Recommended for

  • Beginners with little cooking experience who want to successfully make that distinctive rich and savory doenjang jjigae like the one from Korean barbecue restaurants.
  • People living alone who want to set a perfect stew table with minimal ingredients and time on a tired evening after work.
