Creamy Doenjang PastaThis pasta recipe leans into the funky, salty flavor of doenjang, a Korean soybean paste whose pungency is an absolute pleasure.
We are having a creamy doenjang pasta. This dish is inspired by Korean takes on Italian pasta, which means, instead of cream, there’s milk. Doenjang is a fermented soybean paste — Korean. It’s not miso. It’s not gochujang. It’s doenjang. It’s much saltier and funkier than miso. It’s important to take out the pasta way before al dente. You’re not cooking it too far because you’re gonna finish cooking it in the milk mixture. Doenjang has its own cheesiness that’s incredible. It just makes you think of very deep, savory flavors that have been unlocked on your tongue that you’ve never had before. That’s why you should make this.
