Recipe

Cooking tips

  • If it tastes bland or lacks seasoning, adding more doenjang can make the broth heavy and muddy, so adding fermented fish sauce instead yields a much cleaner and deeper flavor.
  • Roughly crumbling the tofu by hand, rather than cutting it into cubes with a knife, allows the seasoning to seep into all the crevices, preventing it from separating from the rice.
  • Using rice water helps mellow the saltiness of the doenjang, and its starch content gives the broth a pleasantly thick consistency.

Recommended for

  • Those who want a rich rice-thief side dish to mix into freshly cooked warm rice.
  • Those who want to create a deep, rustic, hand-made taste of doenjang cooking without meat or complicated ingredients.
  • Those who want to refresh their palate with something clean and spicy after heavy holiday foods.
