Doenjang Jjigae
Doenjang-jjigae (Korean: 된장찌개; Korean: wen.dʑaŋ.t͈ɕi.ɡɛ, referred to in English as soybean paste stew, is a Korean traditional ''jjigae'' (stew-type dish), made from the primary ingredient of ''doenjang'' (soybean paste), and additional optional ingredients vegetables, seafood, and meat. It is one of the most iconic and popular traditional dishes in Korean cuisine, and is often eaten regularly regardless of occasion or time of day. ''Doenjang-jjigae'' was initially made with home-made ''doenjang''; however, due to extensive industrialisation of soybean paste, households and restaurants nowadays use factory-made ''doenjang'' instead as their ingredient. From traditional to modern Korean cuisine, ''doenjang'' has become one of the most frequently used ''jang'' (sauce/paste). It is claimed as a national dish. ''Doenjang-jjigae'' is often mistaken for '' doenjag-guk'' (soybean paste soup). The main difference between Korean-style stew and soup is in the method of co ...

Budae Jjigae
''Budae-jjigae'' (; ) or spicy sausage stew is a type of Korean ''jjigae'' (stew), made with ham, sausage, Spam, baked beans, kimchi, instant noodles, and gochujang. * The dish was created shortly after the armistice that ended the Korean War, using the scrounged or smuggled surplus foods from U.S. military bases. Although the dish was born in the period of post-war impoverishment, it continued to be popular during the period of rapid growth, and is still popular today. There are many restaurants specializing in ''budae-jjigae'', with the most famous ones on the ''budae-jjigae'' street in Uijeongbu, where the dish was allegedly first made. The dish is now a popular '' anju'' (accompaniment to alcoholic drinks) and a comfort food cooked on the table in a big pot in front of the diners and enjoyed as it is cooked for many Koreans. Etymology ''Budae'' () is a military unit, often a "troop". As a troop's camp is also called ''budae'', the word ''gun budae'' (; "military camp") i ...

Kimchi Jjigae
''Kimchi-jjigae'' * () or kimchi stew is a ''jjigae'', or stew-like Korean dish, made with ''kimchi'' and other ingredients, such as pork or seafood, scallions, onions, and diced tofu. It is one of the most common stews in Korean cuisine. History ''Kimchi'' existed as a non-spicy pickled vegetable dish well prior to the Joseon era; it was not until the introduction of chili peppers to the Korean peninsula mid-era that the variant of ''kimchi'' which has become the ''de facto'' standard of today was created. ''Kimchi jjigae'' is assumed to have developed around this time as well.Kimchi jjigae

Sundubu Jjigae
''Sundubu-jjigae'' * (, -豆腐--) is a ''jjigae'' in Korean cuisine. The dish is made with freshly curdled soft tofu (dubu) which has not been strained and pressed, vegetables, sometimes mushrooms, onion, optional seafood (commonly oysters, mussels, clams and shrimp), optional meat (commonly beef or pork), and ''gochujang'' or ''gochugaru''. The dish is assembled and cooked directly in the serving vessel, which is traditionally made of thick, robust porcelain, but can also be ground out of solid stone. A raw egg can be put in the ''jjigae'' just before serving, and the dish is delivered while bubbling vigorously. It is typically eaten with a bowl of cooked white rice and several ''banchan''. Extra soft tofu, called ''sundubu'' (; "mild tofu") in Korean, is softer than other types of tofu and is usually sold in tubes. The ''sun'' in ''sundubu'' means "pure" in Korean. History The origins of using unpressed tofu in Korean cuisine is not well documented, but records from the Jo ...

Tofu
Tofu (), also known as bean curd in English, is a food prepared by coagulating soy milk and then pressing the resulting curds into solid white blocks of varying softness; it can be ''silken'', ''soft'', ''firm'', ''extra firm'' or ''super firm''. Beyond these broad textural categories, there are many varieties of tofu. It has a subtle flavor, so it can be used in savory and sweet dishes. It is often seasoned or marinated to suit the dish and its flavors, and due to its spongy texture, it absorbs flavors well. It is a traditional component of East Asian and Southeast Asian cuisines, and has been consumed in China for over 2,000 years. In modern western cooking, it is most often treated as a meat substitute. Nutritionally, tofu is low in calories, while containing a relatively large amount of protein. It is high in iron, and can have a high calcium or magnesium content depending on the coagulants (e.g. calcium chloride, calcium sulphate, magnesium sulphate) used in manufacturi ...

Kimchi
''Kimchi'' (; ko, 김치, gimchi, ), is a traditional Korean side dish of salted and fermented vegetables, such as napa cabbage and Korean radish. A wide selection of seasonings are used, including ''gochugaru'' (Korean chili powder), spring onions, garlic, ginger, and ''jeotgal'' (salted seafood), etc. Kimchi is also used in a variety of soups and stews. As a staple food in Korean cuisine, it is eaten as a side dish with almost every Korean meal. There are hundreds of different types of kimchi made with different vegetables as the main ingredients. Traditionally, winter kimchi, called kimjang, was stored in large earthenware fermentation vessels, called ''onggi'', in the ground to prevent freezing during the winter months and to keep it cool enough to slow down the fermentation process during summer months. The vessels are also kept outdoors in special terraces called jangdokdae. In contemporary times, household kimchi refrigerators are more commonly used. Etymology ...

Doenjang
''Doenjang'' * (; "thick sauce") or soybean paste is a type of fermented bean paste made entirely of soybean and brine. It is also a byproduct of soup soy sauce production. It is sometimes used as a relish. History The earliest soybean fermentations in Korea seem to have begun prior to the era of the Three Kingdoms. The '' Records of the Three Kingdoms'', a Chinese historical text written and published in the third century AD, mentions that "Goguryeo people are good at brewing fermented soybeans" in the section named ''Dongyi'' (Eastern foreigners), in the '' Book of Wei''. Jangdoks used for doenjang production are found in the mural paintings of Anak Tomb No.3 from the 4th century Goguryeo. In ''Samguk Sagi'', a historical record of the Three Kingdoms era, it is written that ''doenjang'' and ''ganjang'' along with ''meju'' and ''jeotgal'' were prepared for the wedding ceremony of the King Sinmun in February 683. ''Sikhwaji'', a section from '' Goryeosa'' (History of G ...

Cheonggukjang
Cheonggukjang () is a traditional Korean food made by fermenting soybeans. It contains whole, as well as ground soybeans. Production It can be made in two to three days through fermentation of boiled soybeans, adding ''Bacillus subtilis'', which is usually contained in the air or in the rice straw, at about 40°C without adding salt, compared with the much longer fermentation period required for ''doenjang'', another, less pungent variety of Korean soybean paste. Like many forms of ''doenjang'', ''cheonggukjang'' is paste-like in texture, but also includes some whole, uncrushed soybeans. ''Cheonggukjang'' may also be made by fermenting boiled soybeans in a warm place, pounding a portion of them, and adding salt and red chili powder. Food culture is most often used to prepare a stew, which is also simply called , but may be called to avoid confusion. often includes additional ingredients, such as potatoes, onions, and tofu.

Gochujang
''Gochujang'' (, from Korean: , ) or red chili paste * is a savory, sweet, and spicy fermented condiment popular in Korean cooking. It is made from gochu-garu (chili powder), glutinous rice, ''meju'' (fermented soybean) powder, ''yeotgireum'' (barley malt powder), and salt. The sweetness comes from the starch of cooked glutinous rice, cultured with saccharifying enzymes during the fermentation process. Traditionally, it has been naturally fermented over years in ''jangdok'' (earthenware) on an elevated stone platform, called ''jangdokdae'', in the backyard. The Sunchang Gochujang Festival is held annually in Gochujang Village in Sunchang County, North Jeolla Province, South Korea. History It has commonly been assumed that spicy ''jang'' () varieties were made using black peppers and ''chopi'' before the introduction of chili peppers. ''Shiyi xinjian'', a mid-9th century Chinese document, recorded the Korean pepper paste as (). The second-oldest documentation of pepper p ...
