Doenjang Jjigae (된장 찌개)


While growing up, the dish I loved to eat the most at home was doenjang jjigae (된장 찌개), a stew-like dish made with doenjang (된장), fermented soybean paste, tofu, and various vegetables cooked in an earthenware pot. There are various types of jjigae (찌개), a hearty soup similar to stew, but this one is my favorite. If you don't have an earthenware pot, you can use a medium, heavy-bottom pot.
