Making Classic Doenjang Jjigae

Daniel shows you how to make classic Doenjang Jjigae (Korean Soybean Stew). This is a staple soup of Korea. Most households will eat it multiple times a week - including us! There are so many different types of doenjang paste at the Korean markets. You might get a headache from having to select. I show you how to make it the traditional way - using classic doenjang paste.

Hello from a fellow Korean-Canadian student! I'm away from home because I'm at school but my go to food is definitely jajjangmyeon kimchi fried rice!!! Its a bit weird that being my comfort food haha but I grew up on it. Love your channel! Just found it recently and I'm glad I did (:

I’m gonna put extra carrots in my jjigae! Gotta represent the carrot lovers out 3 of us...

Doenjang jjigae is my favorite! I remember the first time I made it, I sent a video to you and Katie. It was so delicious and my family loved it! Now I wish I had a bowl!
Today I made your 15 minute shiitake mushroom and asparagus bowl. Thing is, it took me an hour to cook, since I made the entire meal with one hand!...LITERALLY!!! Still recovering from wrist surgery. Still another two months to go before I’m able to use my (dominant) hand. What an experience this has been!

[floratok]

First thing I go to at the airport is a Dunkin Donuts coffee! When I lived in many places overseas I had such wonderful food and I could also cook my food from home so I don't think there is any food that I had to have right when I got home well back to Maine. Probably lobsters and clams and mussels would have been the first meal when I got back that I wanted. Complete with corn on the cob and clarified butter and a giant Strawberry Shortcake homemade with local strawberries at the end. That is what we call a clambake.

I love eating either homemade menudo or chili during the holidays.

"Clams don't snitch". XD You funny, man.

[estoires_]

Omg!! I didn’t know you could get flavoured doenjang!!! Will always look out for those then

[ruthnathania]

it becomes my habit to hit the likes button first right before watch the video.. 🤩

[rijansama_ri]

Your facial expressions are funny. Thanks for soulful dishes

[gabriellemartin]

That looks so good 😩😩😩😩 I love to cook so I usually make meals for my family. Everyone loves seafood except my mom is allergic so when I do have clams or anything like that, it’s a special treat

[evelyngibson]

Yum!!! It looks so yummy and comfy, perfect for a rainy day! 😋

[msabolijoshi]

This looks sooo delicious!
My go-to dish for comfort food is called khichdi. It's basically rice and lentils cooked together with spices and veggies. It's like a hug in a bowl. I'll make it for you guys someday if you come to India! :)

[ruthejimenez]

Great channel! Fun, entertaining, and educational. D&K keep the good work. Also keep the carrots. They are needed x color. They add nutritional value. A small amount wont change the flavor profile. Whoever doesnt like can skip them.

[TetsusaigaDrgn]

Keep these videos coming...you guys arw doing an amazing job

[stewjd]

Oh, I never knew the bowl tip about soaking claims! And thank you for going over the different types of the doenjang paste. Can get confusing. : O

[saraelfanidi]

I feel lucky because earlier today I wanted to try this recipe and I was wondering if you posted a video about it !! :D Thank you :)

Super recipe as always! And when I go home for holidays, I am always aiming for some real French baguette and super stinky cheese first. I miss them so much 😭
