Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Always sauté the doenjang and ssamjang in the fat from the fatty pork belly first—this prevents a greasy mouthfeel and builds deep, complex flavor.
  • The ramen seasoning can be salty, so start with only half the amount and adjust at the end based on taste.
  • Using a clay pot helps retain heat throughout the meal, keeping the dish warm and delicious from start to finish.

Recommended for

  • Those who prefer a rich, deeply savory restaurant-style doenjang jjigae broth.
  • People looking for a hearty, vegetable- and meat-packed alternative to plain ramen.
  • Anyone seeking a spicy, refreshing soup to cure a hangover or enjoy as a satisfying alcoholic beverage side dish.
