Recipe

Cooking tips

  • The basic ratio is about 1 tablespoon of doenjang per handful of blanched siraegi.
  • Massaging in shiitake mushrooms, seafood anchovy powder, and beef dashida adds extra umami.
  • Using anchovy dashima broth when boiling gives a deeper flavor; you can also simply substitute with seafood powder.
  • When freezing, add the frozen block directly to boiling broth without thawing to prevent any off-flavors and keep the soup clean-tasting.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a quick soup to make on busy mornings.
  • Those who need a convenient make-ahead side dish or soup recipe using cabbage for multiple meals.
  • Those who want to recreate the rich, deep flavor of countryside doenjang soup at home.
