Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Sautéing gochujang and doenjang in perilla oil beforehand removes their typical heaviness and deepens the broth’s umami flavor.
  • If fish sauce is unavailable, substitute with 2 tablespoons of tuna sauce or 1 tablespoon of soy sauce.
  • Slice potatoes slightly smaller than zucchini so they cook through evenly during the cooking time.

Recommended for

  • Those who want a clean, light broth without pork.
  • People looking to use up leftover zucchini and vegetables deliciously.
  • Those who want a gochujang stew without the typical heaviness, but with a fresh, spicy kick.
