Boil until the liquid is reduced by half to create a meat broth.Once the broth is rich, remove the cooked pork and radish and let them cool slightly. Thinly slice the pork into bite-sized pieces.To the remaining broth, add doenjang, cheonggukjang, gochugaru, minced garlic, and sugar. Bring to a boil to create the doenjang base broth for the jeongol.In a wide jeongol pot, arrange napa cabbage, oyster mushrooms, zucchini, green onion, cheongyang chili pepper, red chili pepper, king oyster mushroom, and tofu neatly around the edges.In the center, generously place the sliced pork and cleaned shepherd's purse.Pour the prepared doenjang broth over the ingredients until it reaches halfway, then sprinkle with meju powder and bring to a boil until bubbling. Serve.Boil pork and radish with soju in water until the liquid reduces by half to make a rich meat broth.Thinly slice the cooked pork, then add doenjang, cheonggukjang, and seasonings to the remaining broth and bring to a boil for the jeongol broth.Arrange assorted vegetables, tofu, pork, and shepherd's purse in a jeongol pot, pour in the broth and sprinkle meju powder, then bring to a boil once more.Cooking tips π‘Adding just a subtle amount of cheonggukjang allows you to recreate the deep umami of countryside-style doenjang jjigae without the strong aroma.If shepherd's purse is out of season or you dislike its flavor, substituting with chives works wonderfully.Adding about half a tablespoon of meju powder at the end thickens the broth and balances the deep flavors.Recommended for πβThose who want a deep and hearty premium jeongol instead of the usual ordinary doenjang jjigae.βThose who enjoy the rich, rustic flavor of countryside doenjang jjigae but are sensitive to the strong smell of cheonggukjang.βThose looking for a visually appealing and delicious Korean jeongol to serve guests.
