Doenjang Jjigae, the ultimate Korean comfort



<data:blog.pageTitle/>

Doenjang Jjigae (Korean soybean paste stew) reminds me of my father.
As I recollect, he loved this stew.

My father passed away almost 6 years ago by car accident.
And I didn't even get to say good-bye to him.

After he is gone I realized that I never had a chance to serve this stew for him.
In fact I never got a chance to cook anything for him.
And that hurts me...,
and brings me to tears.
I know he would have enjoyed this stew very, very much.

My mother used fix this stew quite often just for him.
Of course her Doenjang paste is all home-made, and she has her secret to give this stew more depth.
