Steps

Translated from the Korean original. Amounts are as in the original recipe.

  1. Put the broth ingredients in a pot and boil.
  2. Soak the soybeans thoroughly, then blend them with water in a blender.
  3. Tear the oyster mushrooms, cut the shiitake mushrooms into bite-size pieces, cube the zucchini and onion, and thinly slice the green onion and chili peppers.
  4. Soak the clams to remove grit.
  5. Add the soybeans, oyster mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, zucchini, low-sodium doenjang, shrimp and clams to the broth and boil.
  6. Add the soft tofu and boil, then add the onion, green onion, red chili pepper and green chili pepper and bring to a quick boil to finish.
💡 TipUnlike ordinary spicy soft tofu stew, white soybeans and cheongyang chili pepper provide the flavor, lowering sodium, while shrimp and clams give savory depth.
