Steps

Translated from the Korean original. Amounts are as in the original recipe.

  1. Put the broth ingredients in a pot, boil for 10 minutes, and strain.
  2. Mince the garlic, julienne the onion, and slice the zucchini into flat half-moons.
  3. Cut the sweet cabbage into 5cm pieces, slice the green onion on the diagonal, and cut the tofu 0.5cm thick.
  4. Mix the doenjang with the shiitake mushroom powder, raw soybean powder and broth (50g).
  5. Dissolve the doenjang in the broth and boil, adding the minced garlic, zucchini, onion and sweet cabbage in that order.
  6. When it boils, add the dried shrimp and green onion and boil a little longer to finish.
💡 TipSoybean powder and shiitake mushroom powder are mixed into the doenjang to reduce salt, and dried shrimp adds savory depth, lowering sodium intake.
