* 150g (5.3 oz) **pork shoulder**, diced into small pieces * 2 tablespoons **doenjang** (Korean fermented soybean paste) * 1 tablespoon **ssamjang** (a seasoned paste that includes doenjang, gochujang, garlic, and sesame oil) * 1 teaspoon **gochugaru** (Korean red pepper flakes) * 500 ml **water** (about 2 cups) * ½ **onion**, finely chopped * 1 small **zucchini**, finely chopped * 2–3 **shiitake mushrooms**, thinly sliced * ½ **tofu**, finely diced * 1 **green onion**, thinly sliced (for garnish)
**How to Make Doenjang Jjigae:**
1. Brown diced pork shoulder in a pot to create a rich base (no oil needed!). 2. Add doenjang, ssamjang, and gochugaru. Stir for 30 seconds to release aroma and caramelize. 3. Pour in 500 ml water, scraping up any browned bits. Bring to a boil. 4. Add chopped onion, zucchini, shiitake mushrooms, and tofu. Simmer for 10 minutes. 5. Finish with sliced green onions for a fresh touch.
Optional: Use beef brisket instead of pork, or skip meat for vegetarian.
