Cooking tips 💡
- Maintaining the 2:1 ratio of ssamjang to doenjang is crucial for a deep flavor without failure.
- If you want to add more of a budae jjigae (army base stew) feel, adding baked beans (canned beans) or cheddar cheese slices also pairs well.
- Adding chili peppers from the beginning can dull their color, so it's best to add them in the final stage of cooking.
