Korean soybean paste stew, Doenjang Jjigae

Annyeonghaseyou! Hello K Friends, hope you are doing well. Last week I introduced a popular ingredient, doenjang (soy bean paste). Today I want to show one of the most famous cuisines using doenjang. It’s doenjang jjigae, a flavorful and delicious stew. Hope you enjoy the recipe!

Flavorful and Comforting Doenjang Jjigae

Ingredients: 3T soybean paste, 4 cups water, 3 cloves garlic, 1/2 zucchini, 1 potato, 1/2 onion, 10 oz (280 gram) tofu, 2 green onions, 1 chili pepper, 3 cloves garlic, 3 mushrooms (optional), 4 oz (100 grams) pork (optional),

Ingredients for stock: 10 anchovies, 4 oz (100 grams) radish, half an onion, 2 medium-sized kelp

How to make it

Step 1. Making broth

Pour 3 cups of water into a pot. Add radish. Add half an onion. Add about 10 dried anchovies. Add 2 pieces of medium sized kelp. Boil for about 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, take out the kelp first. And boil for another 10 minutes over medium-high heat.

Step 2. Slicing vegetables

Cut the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Cut half the zucchini into bite-sized pieces. Also cut the onion into appropriate sizes. Cut the tofu into large chunks. If you have mushrooms, add some. Also finely chop 3 cloves of garlic. Cut 2 green onions into appropriate sizes. You can also add 1 green chili pepper or red pepper. 

 And if you have pork at home, slice a little. I like to use pork with a bit of fat on it. The pork I used today is samgyeopsal.

Step 3. Boiling

Pour in 2 cups of anchovy broth. Add about 3 tablespoons of soybean paste. Put the sliced potatoes and onions. Boil it for 3 minutes. 

When the potatoes start to boil, add the zucchini, mushrooms, pork, half a tablespoon of red pepper powder, and half a tablespoon of garlic. Remove the foam that rises when boiling. Add the sliced tofu. Boil for an additional 5 minutes. Lastly, add green onions and red pepper. 

Flavorful and comforting Doenjang Jjigae is done!
