Korean soybean-paste stew with beef, tofu and vegetables.
About Doenjang Jjigae
Hyosun’s beef doenjang jjigae is a Korean soybean-paste stew with tofu, radish and zucchini. This named beef version uses traditional rice-rinsing water as its broth base.
Doenjang supplies the defining fermented savoury character. Gochujang adds sweetness and chilli seasoning, while garlic, scallion and vinegar sharpen the mixture around the beef and vegetables.
Tofu pieces and sliced vegetables sit within the substantial broth. Mushrooms and potatoes are optional additions; the publisher serves the stew with rice while it is still bubbling from the heat.
