Cooking tips

  • Sear the beef and seasonings until they’re almost sticking to the bottom of the pan—this ensures the deep, savory flavor characteristic of jjigae.
  • You can substitute shiitake mushrooms with any leftover mushrooms such as cremini, oyster, or enoki, or even use radish.
  • Always cook the stew uncovered once boiling to eliminate the raw smell and bitterness inherent in the pastes.

Recommended for

  • Those who love the rich, savory taste of restaurant-style beef soybean paste stew.
  • People looking to use up leftover vegetables in their fridge.
  • Anyone craving a classic, authentic jjigae to enjoy with a bowl of rice.
