[Cooking] Jangs- Korean Seasoning Workshop 4

4. Doenjang Session - Jangs: Korean Seasoning Series

Do you enjoy doenjang-jjigae?
Doenjang is one of the core fermented seasonings in Korean cooking. Its strong aroma can divide opinions, but it plays an essential role in everyday Korean food and is valued for its depth of flavor.

While doenjang is often associated with soups and stews, it can be used in many different ways.
Depending on the amount used and the ingredients it is combined with, doenjang can create both rich and light flavors, and can be applied beyond traditional dishes.

This session focuses on doenjang.

In this session, we will:
-Learn about Korean doenjang and its role in everyday cooking
-Taste how its flavor changes depending on how it is mixed and used
-Cook and taste simple dishes together

- Doenjang soup, lightly prepared for tasting
