Let’s make this amazing Ssamjang Doenjang Jjigae using ssamjang (Korean soybean paste mix) to achieve that authentic restaurant flavor!
Stew Ingredients- 1/2 block firm tofu
- 1/2 zucchini
- 1/2 onion
- 1 stalk green onion
- 1 king oyster mushroom
- 1 red chili pepper
Special Seasoning Paste- 2 Tbsp ssamjang
- 1 Tbsp doenjang
- 1/2 Tbsp gochujang
- 1/2 Tbsp gochugaru (Korean chili powder)
- 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic
- 2 Tbsp ssamjang
- 1 Tbsp doenjang
- 1/2 Tbsp gochujang
- 1/2 Tbsp gochugaru (Korean chili powder)
- 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the special seasoning paste. In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of ssamjang, 1 tablespoon of doenjang, 1/2 tablespoon of gochujang, 1/2 tablespoon of gochugaru, and 1/2 tablespoon of minced garlic. Mix them thoroughly until smooth. This paste is the key to the jjigae’s rich flavor.
Step 2
Once your special seasoning paste is ready, it’s time to prepare the vegetables and tofu for the stew. Dice the tofu into bite-sized cubes. Slice the zucchini and onion into half-moons. Slice the king oyster mushroom into manageable pieces. Finally, thinly slice the green onion and red chili pepper diagonally.
Step 3
Pour your preferred broth (anchovy-kelp broth or rice water works well) into a pot. Add the zucchini, onion, and king oyster mushroom. Cover the pot and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Let it simmer until the vegetables are tender.
Step 4
When the vegetables are tender, stir in the prepared special seasoning paste and mix well. Then, add the diced tofu, sliced green onion, and red chili pepper to the pot. Bring it back to a gentle boil and cook for a few more minutes until everything is heated through. Stir gently to avoid breaking the tofu. Your delicious Ssamjang Doenjang Jjigae is almost ready!
Step 5
Your Ssamjang Doenjang Jjigae, just like you’d enjoy at a Korean BBQ restaurant, is now complete! It’s the perfect side dish to enjoy with grilled meats at home. This simple yet flavorful stew will elevate your home dining experience. Enjoy!
