Scale
- 3 cups water, or vegan dashi
- 1 piece kelp (roughly 3″x3″ piece)
- 3 dried shiitake mushrooms
- 1 small potato, diced
- 1/2 zucchini, quartered and thinly sliced
- 1/2 white or yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 4–5 thin slices of korean green pepper (adjust to taste, start with less!)
- 3 oz tofu
- 1/3 cup mushrooms of choice
- 1 green onion, white stem thinly sliced and green top sliced diagonally, for garnish
- 2–3 tbsp doenjang or fermented soybean paste
- neutral oil, to sauté
Instructions
- Begin by preparing some kelp and dried mushroom stock. If using dashi, you can skip this step. Add mushrooms and kelp to a bowl or pot along with water and let soak for at least an hour, or preferably overnight.
- Next add 1-2 tbsp of neutral oil to a dry pot over medium heat. Add potatoes and sauté for 2-3 minutes, followed by onion and sauté for another 2 minutes, or until slightly translucent. Add garlic, green onion stem and chili pepper and sauté for an additional 2 minutes.
- Add your broth to the pot and bring the mixture to a boil, then lower to a simmer. Add doenjang paste, making sure it is dissolved into the soup and then your zucchini and tofu. If using mushrooms, add at this step as well.
- Let simmer for 3-4 minutes, adjust to taste, adding additional chili pepper or doenjang paste as needed, then garnish with green onion tops and enjoy with rice.
