Doenjang-jjigae is a Korean soup or stew and one of the simplest, quickest dishes I learned to make while I was in Korea. Doenjang is a fermented soybean paste that can be found in Asian grocers. It has a spicy and salty balance to tantalize your taste buds.

  • 3 cups water
  • 2 cloves garlic , coarsely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Korean soy bean paste , doenjang
  • 0.5 packages firm tofu , 16 ounce
  • 4 greens onions , chopped
  • 1 zucchini , halved and cut into 1/2-inch slices
  • 1 jalapeno pepper , sliced

Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring vegetable stock and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Stir in garlic and soybean paste, stirring until the paste dissolves.

  2. 2

    Stir in tofu, green onion, zucchini, and jalapeño. Allow soup to return to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes.
