This Man's Cook's Soybean Paste Stew

A simple and delicious soybean paste stew enhanced with an extra spoon of doenjang to amplify its rich, savory depth and distinctive aroma.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • To prevent low smoke-point perilla oil from burning, sauté it with moisture-rich radish alongside the beef.
  • If using plain, unsalted soybean paste instead of store-bought, increase the amount of doenjang to balance the seasoning.
  • Avoid prolonged boiling of soybean paste, as it can degrade nutrients and develop a bitter taste—add it at the final stage and simmer briefly.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy a clean, savory taste without the typical soybean paste aroma.
  • People looking for a warm, hearty soup for dinner.
  • Home cooks wanting to use up leftover fresh kimchi and small bits of beef.
