doenjang

🥗Healthier: miso

💰Cheaper: soybean paste

Miso offers a similar umami flavor and is often more accessible.

tofu

🥗Healthier: tempeh

💰Cheaper: cottage cheese

Tempeh provides a firmer texture and more protein.

zucchini

🥗Healthier: yellow squash

💰Cheaper: carrots

Carrots add sweetness and color.

potato

🥗Healthier: sweet potato

💰Cheaper: turnip

Turnip is a low-calorie alternative with a unique flavor.

1

Prepare the ingredients: Cut the vegetables and tofu into bite-sized pieces, and crush the wild chives with the back of a knife to release their aroma.

2

Make the broth (important!): In a dry pot, add the anchovies and dried shrimp and toast them to remove the fishy smell, then pour in 1.2L of water and boil for 10 minutes before straining.

3

Dissolve the doenjang: In the broth, strain and dissolve 5 tablespoons of doenjang.

4

Cooking: First, add the harder vegetables (radish, zucchini, onion) and boil. Once they become transparent, add the mushrooms, tofu, green onion, peppers, minced garlic, and gochugaru, and boil for another 5 minutes.

5

Finishing: Add the wild chives 1 minute before turning off the heat and let them cook slightly to create a fragrant doenjang jjigae.
