About Deongjang jigae

Doenjang Jjigae, a staple of Korean cuisine, is a hearty soybean paste stew brimming with bold flavors and wholesome ingredients. The star of the dish is doenjang, a fermented soybean paste rich in probiotics and umami. Typically, it includes tofu, zucchini, onion, mushrooms, and sometimes potatoes, complemented by slices of chili pepper for a spicy kick. Protein additions like seafood, beef, or pork are optional. High in vitamins, minerals, and gut-friendly compounds, Doenjang Jjigae is celebrated for its nutritional benefits, including supporting digestion and heart health. However, it can be relatively high in sodium due to the fermentation process of doenjang, so moderate consumption is recommended for those watching their salt intake. Served hot with steamed rice, this comforting stew is both a nutritional powerhouse and a symbol of Korean home-cooking tradition.
