(Soybean Paste Stew with Pork and Vegetables)

Kongnamul Guk

Doenjang jjigae (된장찌개) is a staple Korean stew made with doenjang (된장), fermented soybean paste. It is one of the most popular everyday home-cooked Korean dishes.

Cut the tofu and zucchini into about 1-inch cubes. Cut the radish into thin small squares. Thinly slice the onion and pepper. Roughly chop the scallion. Slice the meat into thin strips.

1

Preheat a small pot with a little bit of oil. Sauté the meat, soybean paste, and chili pepper flakes, over medium heat.

2

Add the water and stir well to dissolve the soybean paste. Add the radish (if using a potato, add it in the next step). Boil over medium high heat.

3

Add the onion, garlic, tofu, zucchini, and chili pepper. Boil. Throw in the scallion pieces and add the optional vinegar with a minute or two remaining.

Enjoy!
