Doenjjang Jiggae - Korean Fermented Soybean Stew (vegan, gluten free)

Ingredients 

  • 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.
