Doenjang Jjigae 두부 된장 찌개


Doenjang jjigae is a variety of jjigae or stew-like Korean traditional dish, made with doenjang (Korean soybean paste) and available ingredients such as vegetables, mushrooms, seafood, or dubu (tofu). It is regarded as one of the representative dishes of food in Korea along with Kimchi jjigae. (Wikipedia)

Korean Tofu stew, or “doenjang chigae,” is made with vegetables, tofu, and bean paste. It’s Koreans’ everyday house food. They eat it with other side dishes and rice, but sometimes, especially in the southern part of Korea, they eat this stew with barley rice, vegetable salad, and hot pepper paste all mixed together. (Maangchi)
