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.

Lamb Keema Curry
This lamb curry has lots of big, bright, brash flavors, and a marvelous fragrance when cooking. It's good either all by itself as a one-dish meal (combining meat and several vegetables), or served with an Indian flatbread, or over rice or noodles. Plain yogurt makes a pleasantly cool accompaniment. You might even try a dollop of Greek tzatziki sauce on your keema!
