About Korean soybean stew

Korean Soybean Stew, known as Doenjang Jjigae, is a hearty and savory dish from Korean cuisine. Made with fermented soybean paste (doenjang), this traditional stew typically includes tofu, zucchini, onions, mushrooms, and occasionally seafood or beef, simmered in a flavorful broth. Packed with plant-based protein from tofu and the soybean paste itself, it also provides essential nutrients such as fiber, vitamins, and probiotics from its fermented ingredients. Doenjang, the key component, is touted for its gut-health benefits and richness in antioxidants. While the stew is nutritionally dense, its sodium content can be high due to the doenjang, so moderation is recommended for those monitoring salt intake. This dish is a warm and comforting staple in Korean households, blending wholesome ingredients for a filling and nutritious meal.
