Korean Style Natto Stew (Cheonggukjang)
Either this Cheonggukjang (Natto stew) is not made in Korean restaurants in Japan or people keep their distance because of the smell. When I lived in Thailand, I often enjoyed this in Korean Town, so I recreated the flavor! If you like natto, this is a flavor that you can't resist.
The point to making a delicious Korean stew is to place the garlic and sesame oil into the pot before turning on the heat. Then add the kimchi (and natto) before pouring in the water. This will deepen the flavor. If you add in some of the green section of the leek, some of the smell will calm down. For 2 servings. Recipe by TomHiro

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Heat up the sesame oil and garlic in a pot. Add the oil and garlic before the pot becomes warm. Prepare the vegetables.
- 2
If you use a Korean brand of sesame oil, it will give off a very nice scent.
- 3
I got this Cheonggukjang base jar from a Korean import shop. If you don't have any, you can use regular natto.
- 4
Once the garlic becomes fragrant, add the natto, kimchi, and zucchini.
- 5
Once cooked, add the water (hot water) and leek. Let it bubble and boil.
- 6
Add the egg and bean sprouts. Once the egg has become halfway cooked, remove from the heat and sprinkle with white sesame seeds to finish.
- 7
Garnish with some more white sesame seeds. If you drizzle in a tiny bit of sesame oil, it will increase the flavor.

Sundubu Jjigae (순두부찌개) Korean tofu stew Sundubu Jjigae (순두부찌개) Korean tofu stew
My mother long ago worked for several years in Seoul and had introduced me to this tofu stew. It's a simple dish as far as that goes. The normal soup base is supposed to be what they call myeolchi dashima yuksu (멸치다시마육수), a kelp and anchovy broth. I have substituted Japanese kombu dashi with no trouble, even used katsuobushi dashi at times. Seafood of various types, such as clams and shrimp is usually mixed in, and I've even seen pork slices added. 🇰🇷🫕🍄🐚🦑

Easy Dwenjang Jjigae (Korean Miso Stew) for 2 Easy Dwenjang Jjigae (Korean Miso Stew) for 2
My slightly lighter take on Dwenjang Jjigae, which is a pungent Korean stew made with dwenjang (basically Korean style miso). (Note that stew in Korean cuisine isn't that super thick, stand a fork up in it type of texture, but something in between a soup and stew. My recipe is much closer to soup.)If you don't have dwenjang, you can totally use Japanese style miso. The flavor and aroma are less pungent, but the result will still be delicious.Just put the ingredients in a pot, bring 'em to a boil, and then let them simmer, and that's it.We usually enjoy this with a bowl of steamed rice.

Budae Jjigae (부대찌개) Korean Army Base Stew Budae Jjigae (부대찌개) Korean Army Base Stew
After the Korean War, there was a shortage of food in Korea and most of the food that was available were things like Spam and frankfurters provided by the Americans, and so they developed this fusion dish. It remains a popular hot pot dish in Korea even today. I first ran across this as an instant noodle flavour so I tried to make the real thing. I used pork broth as the main soup stock but it seems to be mostly done with chicken broth or myeolchi yuksu (Korean anchovy broth). 🇰🇷🥫🌭🍜🧀🌶️🍄🫕 -
