Korean soybean paste stew (Doenjang-jjigae: 된장찌개) 

What can I use instead of Zucchini?

Hi my husband is Korean am from nagaland India, we live in india,yesterday I cooked this dish and he was so happy his eyes was in tears,he said its very tasty thanks to maangchi n you...he bought me your 1st book am learning how to cook Korean good food because of you thank you so much maangchi I love you so much.... 💝

She might be the most charming, adorable person ever. my favorite is when she eats at the end. so cute, wow wow!

I love watching your videos. I was recently diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder. Watching you is like watching Bob Ross. So calming and wonderful. Please never stop making these videos. Love you Maangchi!

I love maangchi's recipes, they're authentic and so easy to follow ! Made this soup for my korean boyfriend and he absolutely loved it ! He moved to Canada not long ago so he was super homesick, made this and he honestly shed a tear but was super happy. Thank you maangchi !

How many of you all come here and never try to make the food, but just to watch Maangchi?

I am from Mizoram, North Eastern part of India. We Mizos love stew, we call it 'Bai' in our dialect. In every Mizo dish, you will find a stew. We too love adding fermented soyabean (which we call Bekang) in the stew. I made this (doenjang jjigae) and my family loves it. I made a paste from our fermented soyabean, it taste so delicious. Thank you Maangchi. 사랑해

Michelle Zauner's Crying in H Mart brought me here. So beautiful

This recipe has such special memories for me. My friend from Korea made it for me often and taught me to make it. She always added hot pepper flakes too. The flavor brings me right back almost 10 years ago! We invited friends to our tiny apartment in the summer and ate this hot and spicy stew with hot rice so we were all sweating so much we felt like we would all die! Her doenjangjjigae was so good because her mother sent her the doenjang that her grandma made in Korea. It was the best doenjang I ever had. Nothing at the store comes close! Thank you for this recipe, I made it 3 times this week and ate each pot by myself!

The book Crying in H-Mart brought me here.

Filipino caption is up now thanks to a volunteer captioner!

I made a vegetarian version of this substituting anchovies for kelp broth and WOW- this is probably the best soup/stew I have ever tasted. It’s full of flavour and goes perfectly with fluffy white rice. The potatoes really make this hearty and delicious.

What I love about this recipe is that you dump it all into the pot and cook away Lol. I have made this many times It has become a favorite thanks again!❤️

in the past I tried so many times to make soybean paste soup but never really succeeded, I thought it just not my taste...after watched this video I followed every step and add anchovy to it, surprisingly, the soup taste completely different! it's very good! still hard to believe how big the difference is to make the soup in more original Korean way..now I start to like making soybean paste soup more often :)

한국에서는 지금 쿡쇼나 먹방같은 음식프로그램들이 많이 방송되고 있는데, 그렇게 유명세를 탄 쉐프분들보다 아주머니께서 하시는 음식이 제게는 더 맛있어보이고 어머니를 생각나게 해요, 어릴적 추억이 담긴 음식이나 먹거리를 소개해주실때마다 추억을 만들어주시는것 같아서 웃음지으면서 보게 됩니다.앞으로도 좋은 영상 만들어주시고 건강하세요

Since this was posted almost 5 years ago I've made this so many times I have it memorized. This is one of my favorite stews, and I used to pack either this or beef radish soup for lunch at least twice a week during university. Decided to watch it again before I make this for dinner tonight and empty out the last of my container of Doenjang! The green pepper definitely adds a flavor that shouldn't be skipped. Yum!

I made this and it was soooooo good. I had to make only a couple adjustments because I am not near an Asian market (long drive). But man I see why this is enjoyed daily. I ate it almost daily for 5 days. YUM!

I have just made this the soybean paste has a nice fresh hearty taste, awesome and simple to make

Hearing the stew bubble and boil towards the end makes me want to cook! Looks so delicious.

I cooked this for today ramadhan menu. It taste really good since its made with soy bean based soup.. thanks Maagchi!

we, in Indonesia, also have kinda similar soup, but you know, it is also different, we call it "sayur asem", translated as "sour soup", and it is made of various veggies cooked in a soup made of soybean paste ( we call it Taucho ), Indonesian shrimp paste ( we call it Terasi), and the most important, the Tamarind paste, and it is a very well-known soup here because it tastes so fresh,sour, and good !

My Korean friend's mother gifted us winter kimchi and she put tons of seafood in it. God, it was out of this world, the shrimp, squid, oyster. It was so so delicious

"this guy doesn't have intestine, nice" 😂😂😂😂😂

I love how she gives her ingredients personalities :D

Greek caption is available now! One of my viewers Sofia Anna submitted the caption! Thank you so much!

I cannot thank you enough for teaching me how to cook Korean dishes!! I look forward to going to Korean Market now!! You are a GREAT TEACHER!!

Maangchi is so precious. I love her spirit, even though I've never tried a recipe. I love this channel.

I discovered this channel 5-6 years ago while living in Greece (homecountry). I instantly subscribed (obviously!) thanks to your style and humour. I had fun trying some of the delicious recipes. I moved to China last year and met some amazing Korean friends. Now I can proudly say that not only I enjoy your delicious food,but I start to understand the depth and amazing culture behind it. Thank you for opening a tasty way for me to come closer to your culture! I feel honored to enjoy your work! ❤

Thank you so much. I love watching you cook and I now have your book! I have also stocked up using your book as a reference from our Kosco, local chain of Korean supermarkets. Now I have soya bean paste, red pepper paste, fish sauce, oyster sauce, kimchi, tofu and have made lots of kimchi meat and vegetable soups/stew with tofu. I love it because it is helping keep my blood sugar stable. Thank you, thank you. You are so lovely. Kind regards from New Zealand. 😁❤👍

Vietnamese caption is on now thanks to one of my viewers! Great!

I love Doenjang-jjigae! When I was a little girl this was the first Korean dish I ever ate. I still get nostalgic about going to Korean restaurants with my dad and ordering this stew. Thank you for this recipe, I can't wait to make it!

된장찌게 따라하며 김장김치에 골고루넣은 대구살 왕새우 청각 맛있게 익은 매콤시원할 김치에 와우 탄성이 나오네요 영양골고루 섭취하시며 건강한날들 되세요 귀요운요리사님

This is still one of my favorite lunches.

CAUTION: DO NOT WATCH when you're extremely hungry. LOL!!!!

This guy doesn't have intestine LOL

I’ve been following maangchi for years now, she’s like the cool auntie you go to for advice and lessons specially in cooking. Stay well and healthy aunt maangchi

My mom is Korean. We were fortunate to live in Korea for about a year when my dad was stationed at Camp Casey. My mom is getting older, and she's unable to cook like she used to. I'm so grateful to have found your channel and to have the opportunity to recreate the flavors of my childhood. My youngest son is enjoying your recipes as well. We made a special trip to the Korean store, where I bought them mochi and other supplies for the Doenjang-jjigae. I used Hakurei turnips from my garden instead of potatoes and a jalapeno instead of a chili pepper. This is a very filling stew, and surprisingly low in calories. Thank you so much for the recipes!

i made this today! however i didn't have dried anchovies, so i used a sprinkle of korean anchovy soup stock and added the shrimp heads to the stew as well to add more flavor. thank you for your recipe maangchi!

Arabic caption is up now thanks to my viewer! This video has captions in 8 languages!

Hi Maangchi! I teach English to Korean kids. Koreans value their teachers so Ive been invited to Korean restaurants. From that day I started to love Korean food and been craving for it. Since Ive hooked in your videos, I started to learn how to cook Korean food like a pro. My friends love it. Thank you for sharing your recipes! With love from the Philippines.

I miss the days when my mother cooked for my family. We're first generation in the USA and thank you Maangchi for bring those fond memories back. I can make some Korean dishes but, nothing is better than your mother's cooking.

"I cannot throw away my friend, isn't it?" I got some life advice together with cooking, thanks Maangchi!

Yes! Chinese caption was done by my viewer! Thank you very much!

망치님 안녕하세요~ 오늘 점심은 바로 이 된장찌개 였습니다. 멸치가 없어서 미역, 황태, 표고버섯, 무 넣고 육수 만들었고 나머지는 망치님 하신 것 따라했는데 제가 혼자 대충 만든 것보다 훨씬 맛있어요!! 하나씩 따라하다보면 요리에 자신감이 생길거라고 하신 말씀 이해가 되어요 ㅎㅎ 앞으로도 계속 잘 배우고 잘먹고 건강해질게요 늘 감사드립니다~!!

하 망치 언니 지금 한국에서 새벽에… 영상 정주행 하고있는데 완전 침고여요ㅠㅠ 영상들듀 다 너무 좋고 힐링이에요! 외국인분들이 따라하시기 너무 좋을 것 같아요! 한국인도 마찬가지! 좋은 영상 감사합니다~

I really like soups and stews, I found all the ingredients on Amazon am going to make it as soon as the anchovies get here. Thanks for the recipe.

WOW!! This was so unbelievably good. My favorite Korean dish I’ve made by far. First time I finished my whole bowl! We’re in a snowstorm and running low on produce so I had to use what I had. I used mushrooms and pork belly instead of zucchini and shrimp. Didn’t have chili peppers :( but was still delicious! Also!! I added just a bit of gochujang as you say in your book and it really took it to the next level. I just finished my dinner and I already want more! Seriously I can’t stop thinking about this stew. Thanks Maangchi!

That was sooo good! Thankyou. You were the first I went to to find out what to use soybean paste in. You gave me so much more. Thankyou. You are so cute too. Xxx

I’m here after reading Crying in H Mart 😢😢😢😢

Thanks for this recipe! Now i can cook for my Korean wife.

Everytime I see her videos I get to hungry and I always watch them at night.. when I'm suppose to be asleep xD

It's so heartwarming when you talk about your first pot you used for the first video of your life.

된장찌개 최고에요. 멋진 영상 감사해요~ 저도 매일 먹어요~~~

I am legit salivating through all your videos!

Czech captions was submitted by one of my viewers! Thank you very much!

I did make kimchi jjigae once, my mom and brother loved it so much they always ask me to make it every time it rains❤

I made this today with beef instead of shrimp and button mushrooms instead of zucchini. It tasted so good, only 1/4 of the dish was left! Thank you Maangchi

Anyone here while reading “crying in h mart?” 😭

I cooked this earlier this week for my sister! It is very delicious and goes well with kimchi. We also added some fresh clams my neighbour gave me in the morning haha. It is perfect for simple lunch on a rainy day. Thanks for the recipe.

Thank you so much for this. I haven't had delicious, genuine, home-made 된장찌개 in over 5 years. It took only 15 years to finally get up and try to make this. Couldn't have made it without you.

maangchi you never fail me I can't count how many of your dishes I have made from your channel I made your soup today and it came out amazing I added snow crabs because they were on sale girrl I'm in love thanks so much !!!

Portuguese caption was done by my viewer. Thank you very much! I gotta do Korean caption soon!

I just made doenjang-jjigae last night! lol I didn't follow this recipe I kind of have my own, tailored to my tastes, and it is so good! One of the best Korean stews and easy to make too. Plus you can tweak the ingredients and put so many different things in it.

I like dounjang jige si much... whenever and wherever go to Korean Restaurant I always order dounjang jige ... my Korean colleque said that I am really Korean because of that😀 Thank you for recipe, I tried already and very tasty👍🏼👍🏼

I just made it today and it was extraordinary good!!!.... I ate it with white rice and kimchi 🤤🤤🤤🤤

How can someone being so warm and lovely, I'm a crying mess! And the food looks so delicious!

Omg! I’m so glad you have this recipe! Now that I live in Korea after getting married, I really want to cook more korean food. As an American, I was intimidated but your videos make it so much easier!

I love Maangchi. She's so sweet and innocent.

Currently reading the book Crying in Hmart and decided to look up the doenjang jjigae recipe video that the author mentions. ❤️

I make my doenjang-jjiage vegan, so no anchovies or shrimps. But it still tastes amazing! I use vegetable stock instead ^^ It's very easy to substitute things in your cookbook, I love it!

I tried this for the first time today! It’s so tasty!!!😍 I also love that we can just toss everything in the pot. Thank you Maangchi!

My, she is wonderful, her programmes are just great. She is so clean when cooking, makes her food so appertising.

I finally got all of the ingredients to make this today! I was not able to get any dried anchovies so I substituted with anchovy paste. this was my first time trying a lot of the ingredients; my first time trying tofu, first time trying zucchini, first time trying doenjang, and I did not add any chili peppers but it was still amazing!! I think I used too much potato and too much onion because mine came out like a thick stew, no broth like a soup, but it was still incredible!! can't wait to try again! 💙

Thank you for sharing your recipe Maangchi! I made doenjang jjigae recently and it just wasn’t quite right. Your video showed me how to make it perfect!

I made this for the first time today. It was so good. Even though I messed up a few times.😅 Can’t wait to try it when I can do it properly 😋

Exactly!!!!! I’m 20years old Korean girl. Doenjang jjigae is MY SOUL FOOD🩷 침고인다 침고여! 🤤 흰 쌀밥이랑 반찬들이랑 먹으면 얼마나 맛있게요😝

Watching your videos makes me smile :) Thank you. I moved to Korea and am learning how to cook Korean food because foreign ingredients are expensive and hard to come by. Your videos help a lot

I just made this soup the first time in my life. OMG, it's so good. I can't stop eating.

Quick tip: add rice to the soup when eating it. You won't regret it. God, this soup is just too good.

Thank you maangchi!! I made this for my first time today because it's cold and rainy outside and I wanted some soup or stew. I didn't have potato or green onions so I used leftover bell peppers and mushrooms and it was still beautiful. I can't wait to make it again. ❤️❤️

I could have watch you eat it all! Even eating you are entertaining to watch. Love you Maangchi! Come to back to Canada and Vancouver!

Iceland caption was submitted by one of my viewers! Thank you very much!

French caption is available now thanks to my viewer's contribution!

Maangchi I am making this for dinner tonight, I forgot to get green pepper and prawns from market but hope it still taste good, I have made lots of your recipes in last month, so tasty delicious!! thank you for showing me how to make such good food

Just made this today and it was delicious! This stew tasted very savory, earthy, and a bit nutty. I added everything she added except for the anchovies (forgot to purchase 😅) and instead I used chicken broth instead of water and it tasted delicious! Definitely give this recipe a try it’s super easy and very good!

Indonesian caption is up now thanks to one of my viewers! Now this video has captions in 12 languages!

I love doenjang jjigae but sadly I’m allergic to potatoes. Whenever I eat potatoes it messes with my stomach so bad. My mom uses butternut squash and it tastes just as amazing. Thank you Maangchi for sharing this lovely recipe!!!

WE LOVE YOUR APRON MAANGCHI

I’m not gonna lie cuz I bastardized the hell out of this recipe the first time making it, something I try not to do the first time making a new recipe, but the result was still so delicious I can't wait to make it again properly. The leads on "Love to Hate You" mentioned this dish on episode 9 so I had look it up and of course Maangchi was the first hit! It was kind of a way for me to use up leftover veggies before we leave for a two week vacation and shockingly I didn't even have a potato in my cupboard! So ours was a miso vegetable soup with carrots, red pepper, green beans, cabbage, and tofu. No shrimp or hot pepper but the gochuchang with recently sourced doenjang from South Africa just made me want to go for it though I'm sure any Korean would have scoffed at my attempt! Didn't have dried fish either but a flavor packet for ochazuke was the best I could do and it was just fine. I can't wait to source all the proper ingredients and make it again! I'm sure I'll be even more blown away given how delicious my adulterated version was‼️🇰🇷❤️🍲

Only Maangchi is best Korean chef. Simple fast cook. Good for me who live in NYC . Thank u Maangchi

"This guy doesn't have intestine....good!! ". 😂😂😂 ROFL

I made this tonight and my Korean hubby LOVED it! Thank you, Maangchi!

I followed her recipes through the teeth, watched repeatedly. Love the side dishes the most cause I can store them for one or two weeks in the fridge. Very healthy, quick, and long lasting when store correctly.

I love the soybean paste smell & taste. I even use the soybean paste to cook pasta soup. 🥰😊

My Korean caption was done! Enjoy the recipe plus my Korean caption!

와...이 레시피로 만들었더니 지금까지 제가 먹었던 된장찌개 중에 가장 맛있는 된장찌개를 먹었어요ㅠㅠㅠ 강력 추천합니다!!!

this was my first time using Doenjang-jjigae and we are hooked!

Maangchi! I've been watching your videos for years and today I tried making this doenjang stew. I'm so happy cause it turned out great! I can finally eat a yummy meal!

I’m here because of “Crying in H Mart”
