Find out exactly how to make daily Korean soup– Korean soybean paste soup!
Today I’m sharing Korea’s most essential soup– Doenjang Guk (된장국, Korean soybean paste soup/ Korean miso soup). As I was maturing, I assume I had different variations of Doenjang Guk at the very least a number of times a week, otherwise on a daily basis! Yeah, it’s such a generally eaten soup in every Korean family, so you have actually reached attempt this!
Distinction in between Doenjang Guk (된장국) and also Doenjang Jjigae (된장찌개)
I believed you could be questioning the distinction in between Doenjang Guk and also Doenjang Jjigae? Well, my easy solution is Doenjang Guk is Korean soybean paste soup and also Doenjang Jjigae is Korean soybean paste stew. Guk (국) often tends to have even more water/stock/broth in contrast to the remainder of the active ingredients (veggies and/or meat) than Jjigae (찌개).
This indicates, not constantly though, that Jjigae generally has a more powerful preference (might be also a little saltier or spicier) than Guk. Likewise Guk is usually offered in a private offering dish yet generally Jjigae is offered in earthenware and also it is positioned in the centre of the dinning table. Individuals will certainly share a dose of this Jjigae throughout the dish. Nevertheless individuals do utilize the term Doenjang Guk and also Doenjang Jjigae mutually too.
There are various variants of soybean paste soup, yet today’s dish is an extremely standard kind– Tofu and also zucchini Korean soybean paste soup (Dubu Hobak Doenjang Guk, 두부 호박 된장국).
In the dish, I utilized my homemade dashi supply, which I just recently showed you and also I just made use of Korean soybean paste (Doenjang, 된장), Korean chili paste (Gochujang, 고추장) and also garlic as soup spices. It’s light (perhaps with really refined spiciness, which I truly didn’t notification) yet however yummy, passionate and also soothing. It’s my most likely to soup when I require a fast Korean food repair recently. I wish you like it also!

Note
- Regular Korean earthenware that are offered for soup and also stew are generally just sufficient for one to 2 portions. However given that I prepared for 4 portions, I prepared whatever in a sauce frying pan and also moved some to my earthenware for the picture shoot. Likewise please note that if you utilize earthenware to prepare this soup, the boiling factor could be much faster than the sauce frying pan. It is additionally vulnerable to overflow if you stop working to readjust the warm promptly.
- An alternate method to making the supply from the ground up is you can get the (healthy and balanced) powder variation of supply and also include it when steaming the water. In this instance, comply with the producer’s directions. Simply keep in mind that the preference of the soup could be various to mine.
- I made use of a common variation (without additional included spices or flavour) of Korean soybean paste and also Korean chili paste that are easily offered from a Korean supermarket. If you utilize a homemade variation (which often tends to have a somewhat more powerful flavour and also scent) or a diverse variation with added flavor and/or spices, the end result of the soup will certainly be various. If you’re utilizing these kinds, I suggest utilizing much less than what my dish requires.
- If you desire this soup to be hot, include some (1/2 tsp to 1 tsp) Korean chili flakes ( Gochugaru, 고추가루) in your soup spices mix. You can additionally include some cut Korean eco-friendly or red chili prior to you offer.
