Cooking tips 💡
- Chard stems can be tough; peel them slightly or gently knead with your hands before boiling to make them tender.
- Adding a little cheongyang chili to doenjang soup helps cut the richness and makes the flavor clean and refreshing.
- Do not boil tofu too long or it becomes firm; add it at the end to retain its soft texture.
