This is a popular soup in Korea, generally used as a cure-all comfort food. You can use vegetable stock if you want it vegetarian.
I spent a year in Korea teaching English and doenjang jjigae was one of my favourite meals. It's so easy to make, as long as you can find the soybean paste. This recipe doesn't taste quite the same as what I had in restaurants in Korea, but it's still satisfying. - 29 Sep 2008
