Made Doenjang Jjigae from scratch for the first time to night. Usually make it with the soup-base packets from O’Food, which usually turns out pretty good and it’s a quick meal for a weeknight, but I find them a bit too salty. I’m on vacation, so wanted to try my hand at making it from scratch and while it definitely doubled the cook time, the results were very good. This was amazing and a big improvement in overall flavor. Still enjoy the packets for ease of use, but happy I can now make this from scratch!

Skip the sesame seeds next time! Looks delicious 😋
Maybe spring onion if you want a garnish? I love Aaron and Claire and will look this up for sure
It’s awesome that you found the homemade version less salty and even more flavorful. I might have to give it a try too, especially since you said it was a big improvement.
Aaron and Claire are the best.

Try [Daniel and Katie’s next.](https://futuredish.com/chadol-doenjang-jjigae-recipe-best-k-bbq-restaurant-style/) I love the thinly sliced beef.
Love Aaron and Claire – the recipes have never let us down. If they did we’d never worry about it try them a second time (with extra scallions and ensuring the taste tester was called to the table in that see-if-I-care tone). 😁
