STEP 1/23
First, I'll make the Jongwon Baek chef's multi-purpose soybean paste base. It's my first time having radish in soybean paste stew. That's how good the Jongwon Baek chef is. This time, I went out to buy radish that I didn't have at home and put it in. Slice radishes not too thin or too thick. For your information, I heard that beef radish soup is delicious when sliced as thin as possible, but I think soybean paste stew will make it thicker than that.
STEP 2/23
And pour plenty of rice water. (If you don't have rice water, you can just use water.)
STEP 3/23
Isn't it because of soybean paste that I always fail in doenjang stew? It is said that you can control the dryness with sugar, but this time, I decided to buy a commercially available soy sauce with the intention of succeeding. This time, I made it with the doenjang for Dadam doenjang stew. If homemade doenjang is delicious, it's better to make homemade doenjang. If the taste of the soybean paste at home is too strong, mixing it with commercial use is also a tip.
STEP 4/23
Scoop out the soybean paste and dissolve it in rice water. The amount of soybean paste and water is not specific, but I think you can add it to your taste.
STEP 5/23
Boil over medium and low heat for about 30 minutes (boil until radishes are transparent overall). Season and add soybean paste if it is bland and rice water if salty. For your information, doenjang jjigae is delicious only when seasoned with doenjang, not with salt or soy sauce.
STEP 6/23
When it boils, the radish becomes transparent
STEP 7/23
When it boils, does the radish become transparent and brownish?
STEP 8/23
I. Then, the multi-purpose soybean paste base is completed. I tasted this and it was much better than the soybean paste stew I've made before. It's a fantastic combination of rice water, soybean paste, and radish?
STEP 9/23
Since we made a multi-purpose soybean paste base, we should start cooking soybean paste stew, right? From here, you can cook the doenjang jjigae that you want to eat according to your preference. You can make Dallae Soybean Paste Stew with Dallae, Seafood Soy Bean Paste Stew with Seafood, or Meat Soy Bean Paste Stew with Meat, but we are meat killers, right? I'm going to cook pork belly soybean paste stew using pork belly, even though it came out in Mr. Baek's homemade meal.
STEP 10/23
Please prepare various vegetables at home by cutting them into bite-size pieces.
STEP 11/23
Cut tofu into bite-size pieces.
STEP 12/23
I bought pork belly in advance, but I froze it and moved it to the refrigerator a day before I ate it and defrosted it.
STEP 13/23
Cook 2 rows of pork belly until golden. (They said it's okay to pack the leftover meat and put it in.)
STEP 14/23
Sizzling pork belly for a drink. I just held back what I wanted to eat.
STEP 15/23
When the pork belly is golden brown, pour in the soybean paste base. I was going to leave some and use it later, but the amount was just right, so I poured it all in.
STEP 16/23
And put in a lot of vegetables
STEP 17/23
1 spoon of minced garlic
STEP 18/23
I added a spoon of red pepper powder. There are people who put minced garlic and red pepper powder in the soybean paste base before making soybean paste stew, but the order doesn't really matter. I heard that the taste is not that different.
STEP 19/23
Boil the vegetables until they are cooked. If you feel dry after tasting it, add sugar. (Sugar is hard or astringent?They say it's good at capturing that taste)
STEP 20/23
Boiling. We didn't do much, but we already look like doenjang-jjigae.
STEP 21/23
Lastly, add tofu at the end and bring to a boil one more time.
STEP 22/23
The pork belly doenjang jjigae is complete. It looks amazing, right? I put soybean paste stew in an earthen pot, boiled it again, and served it on the table. I think this soybean paste stew base would be the best if you make it at home in advance, put it in a container, pack it when you go camping, and cook it with vegetables. And even beginners who can't cook will be able to succeed easily.
STEP 23/23
Maybe it's because the pork belly is grilled and put in it, but because of the meat oil, it felt like it was boiled with beef bone soup. Doenjang base. This is a masterpiece. I think it'll be useful like a multi-purpose soy sauce. So far, I've been worried about how to cook soybean paste stew deliciously, but I think I can cook soybean paste stew deliciously with Jongwon Baek chef's soybean paste base.
