Recipe

Cooking tips

  • You can use any cut of beef such as bulgogi or stewing beef instead of short rib.
  • It’s essential to thoroughly stir-fry the seasonings before adding water to eliminate the heavy taste of soybean paste and enhance the rich umami flavor.
  • The dish tastes best when served thick and sticky, ideal for mixing directly into rice.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to finish a full bowl of rice with just one bowl of stew, without side dishes.
  • People craving the deep, rich, spicy-savory taste of a bold soybean paste jjigae.
  • Those looking to use up leftover vegetables in a satisfying and filling way.
