Ingredients
- 700 ml water
- 1 sheet dried kelp, cut into 5 cm squares
- 5 g dried anchovies
- 10 sea squirt (see Note)
- 1 tbsp doenjang
- 1 tsp gochugaru
- 200 g marinara mix, lightly rinsed
- 150 g medium-firm tofu block, cut into 2 cm cubes
- 150 g zucchini, roughly chopped
- 50 g enoki mushroom, trimmed, torn into bite-sized clusters
- 2 bird’s eye chillies, sliced diagonally
- Kimchi and steamed rice, to serve
Instructions
- Pour the water into a large saucepan with the dried kelp, anchovies and sea squirt. Bring to the boil over high heat, then reduce to medium and simmer for 15 minutes. Use a fine mesh strainer to remove the solids from the broth and discard.
- Stir through the doenjang, gochugaru and the marinara mix and simmer for a further 5 minutes. Stir through the tofu, zucchini and mushroom and simmer for another 5 minutes, followed by the chilli. Reduce the heat to low and cook for a further 5 minutes. Taste and add extra doenjang if you like!
- Serve the doenjang-jjigae with kimchi and rice.
Note
- Frozen sea squirts are available at Korean grocery stores.
