Ingredients needed 🛒3 servings

  • unsalted chunggukjang 1 pack
  • jipdoenjang 1.5 tablespoons
  • beef tenderloin 150g
  • miderdok 1 handful
  • radish 1/8 piece
  • zucchini 1/3 piece
  • onion 1/2 piece
  • potato 1 piece
  • mixed mushrooms (shiitake, enoki, oyster, button) to taste
  • sesame oil 1 tablespoon
  • Dipori yellow croaker stock 2 cups
  • rice washing water 1 cup
  • anchovy sauce 1 tablespoon
  • roasted soy flour 1 tablespoon
  • tofu 1/2 block
  • green onion 1/2 bunch
  • green chili pepper 1 piece

Recipe 🍳

  1. Heat sesame oil in a pot, then sauté sliced radish and beef tenderloin together until fragrant and golden.
  2. Once the radish releases its crisp moisture and the meat surface begins to brown, pour in the Dipori yellow croaker stock mixed with rice washing water.
  3. Dissolve the traditional jipdoenjang smoothly without clumps, then simmer gently to allow the broth base to deepen in flavor.
  4. Add potato, onion, zucchini, and cleaned mixed mushrooms in sequence, and cook until vegetables are tender.
  5. Season with anchovy sauce, then add roasted soy flour for extra richness and soft tofu for texture.
  6. Place chunggukjang in the center of the broth and gently stir to dissolve it evenly. Add chopped green onion and sliced green chili pepper.
  7. In the final step, add thoroughly washed miderdok to preserve its fresh aroma and crisp burst of oceanic flavor, then briefly simmer to finish.
  1. Sauté radish and beef tenderloin in sesame oil, then add Dipori yellow croaker stock and rice washing water and bring to a boil.
  2. Dissolve jipdoenjang and add potato, onion, zucchini, and mushrooms; simmer until vegetables are cooked through.
  3. Add anchovy sauce, roasted soy flour, and tofu to enhance the savory, rich flavor.
  4. Add chunggukjang, green onion, and green chili pepper, then finally add miderdok and lightly simmer to complete.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Use unsalted chunggukjang so it blends well with jipdoenjang and sauce without making the dish overly salty, allowing you to adjust seasoning precisely.
  • Adding an extra tablespoon of roasted soy flour intensifies the nutty aroma and thick, rich mouthfeel characteristic of authentic chunggukjang.
  • Never add miderdok at the beginning—doing so makes it tough and diminishes its fresh aroma. Always add it at the very end to preserve its crisp texture and oceanic fragrance.
