Ingredients needed 10 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • When pouring in the soy sauce, swirl it around the edge of the pan and let it bubble slightly to develop a rich, roasted flavor.
  • Fine chili powder can easily burn from residual heat, so always add it only after turning off the heat and mixing thoroughly.
  • The finished universal jjigaejang can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one month, making it a convenient base for future use.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to quickly and consistently make bold, spicy soups without measuring ingredients each time.
  • People who frequently enjoy spicy stews like yukgaejang or sundubu jjigae.
  • Individuals looking for a practical, pre-made jjigae base that can be prepared ahead and stored for long-term use.
