About Korean fermented soybean paste soup

Korean Fermented Soybean Paste Soup, known as Doenjang Jjigae, is a traditional Korean dish celebrated for its rich, savory flavors and wholesome ingredients. The soup features fermented soybean paste (doenjang) as its key ingredient, imparting a deep umami taste. Typically, it includes tofu, zucchini, onions, garlic, green chili peppers, and sometimes potatoes or mushrooms, along with an optional addition of seafood or meat. Often served with rice, it is a staple of Korean cuisine with roots dating back centuries. Nutritionally, the soup is a good source of protein, vitamins, and minerals from the vegetables and tofu, and probiotics from the fermented paste, which support gut health. However, it can be high in sodium due to the soybean paste, so moderated consumption is recommended. Doenjang Jjigae offers both comfort and health benefits, making it a beloved dish across diverse diets.
