Doenjang-jjigae
Doenjang-jjigae (), referred to in English as soybean paste stew, is a Korean traditional ''jjigae'' (stew-type dish), made from the primary ingredient of ''doenjang'' (soybean paste), and additional optional ingredients of vegetables, seafood, and meat. It is one of the most iconic and popular traditional dishes in Korean cuisine, and is often eaten regularly regardless of occasion or time of day. ''Doenjang-jjigae'' was initially made with home-made ''doenjang''; however, due to extensive industrialisation of soybean paste, households and restaurants nowadays use factory-made ''doenjang'' instead as their ingredient. From traditional to modern Korean cuisine, ''doenjang'' has become one of the most frequently used ''jang'' (sauce/paste). It is claimed as a national dish. ''Doenjang-jjigae'' is often mistaken for '' doenjang-guk'' (soybean paste soup). The main difference between Korean-style stew and soup is in the method of cooking and serving. ''Jjigae'' is thicker, has mor ...
