DOENJANG JJIGAE (된장찌개 / FERMENTED-SOYBEAN STEW)
This fermented-soybean stew is the quintessential representation of Korean jang. The soft tofu, the dashi, and the sweetness of the vegetables work together to mellow the intensity of the doenjang so that your palate can discern the different facets of flavor.

Steps:
- Put the dashi in a stockpot or other large pot set over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer. Whisk in the doenjang and cook for 10 minutes to bring out its natural sweetness. Add the gochujang and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the gochugaru, garlic, and soy sauce and simmer for another 10 minutes.
- Add the onions and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the zucchini and simmer for 5 minutes. (Adding the vegetables at different times will ensure that they will all be fully cooked at the end.) Add the chili peppers, beef, and tofu and simmer for 5 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more soy sauce if necessary.
- Remove the pot from the heat, add the scallions, put on the lid, and let the stew rest for at least 30 minutes, and up to 2 hours, before serving. Serve with steamed rice and your favorite banchan, as any and all pair well with this stew.
RICE CAKE IN SOY SAUCE (KAN JANG DDEOK BOK EE)
"Ddeok" is a general term for Korean rice cake. There are many kinds of ddeok in Korea. They can be used as a dessert or in a savory dish. The plain tubular shape ddeok is called "ga rae ddeok", and they cut into ovals to cook "ddeok gook" which is the traditional soup for New Years. Or you can use tiny snowman shape "jo raeng ee ddoek". For "ddoek bok ee", we use narrower tube-shaped rice cake, cut into about 2-inch long pieces. In this dish, I prefer ovals because they cook very quickly, but the tube shape is fine also. I got this recipe from the Korean Kitchen web site. It's a good dish for those who would like to try something Korean, but are afraid of the heat. The preparation time includes soaking the rice cake for 1 hour.
