This Man's Cook Gangneung-Style Jang Kalguksu

Cooking tips 💡

• Use gochujang and doenjang in equal amounts to avoid imbalance and achieve the deep, savory umami characteristic of authentic jang kalguksu.
• Use finely ground red pepper powder to keep the broth clear and bright without clouding, ensuring a clean, spicy kick.
• A small amount of dashi or similar seasoning helps eliminate the lingering heaviness typical in fermented bean pastes, enhancing clarity and depth. If avoiding seasoning, substitute with soy sauce or ganjang.
