yeah that’s kind of country style meal. Thick doenjang stew and seasoned vegetables with barley rice! It’s very delicious! Don’t forget to add a little bit of hot pepper paste and sesame o~il! : )

My husband LOVES Doenjang jjigae so I make it for him all the time( my mom taught me how to make it)I’ve never had it with a salad so I had to try this. VERY YUMMY! I will be making this more often.

haHAHA…@Kayla, I feel just the same, perhaps there are a whole lot of us out there who feel sad or guilty eating fish with forlorn eyes…I for one can never approach a fish plate with eyes attached.

Spicy bean paste? You mean hot pepper paste? (gochujang). http://www.maangchi.com/ingredients/hot-pepper-paste-gochujang
If so, Yes, it’s gochujang jjigae. If you love spicy food, why not. We call the stew “gochujang jjigae” (hot pepper paste stew).

I’m thinking of making this for lunch tomorrow but I only have spicy bean paste. Is it okay to use that for this or will it alter the taste too much?

Hi Maangchi!

I am your huge fan since I’ve known your webpage. Although I am also Korean, I haven’t learned how to cook korean food from my mom. Whenever I cook korean food, my first thing is to visit your webpage and follow your video exactly.

Believe it or not, this recipe is my first successful 된장찌개 ever! My husband and I love your food so much!! Thank you for sharing your insightful recipes!!

Yes, skip dried anchovies if you want, and use beef or chicken broth to make delicious stew.
