Time: 50 minutes. This rustic soup, called doenjang jjigae in Korean, is pure comfort in a bowl. Ingredients:
5 ounces ground beef |
1 teaspoon plus 1 tbsp. reduced-sodium soy sauce |
3 teaspoons asian sesame oil, divided |
6 cups reduced-sodium beef stock |
4 tablespoons korean fermented soybean paste (doenjang)* or japanese akamiso (red miso) |
2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic |
4 dried red chiles, split open |
1 pound soft or medium water-packed tofu (not |
1 pound napa cabbage, cut into 1/2-in.-thick slices |
1/2 pound large yellow zucchini, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced |
1/2 cup daikon radish, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced |
5 green onions, halved lengthwise and cut into 2-in. pieces |
Directions:
1. Toss beef with 1 tsp. each soy sauce and sesame oil and cook, stirring, over medium heat in a small saucepan. Set aside.
2. Put stock, 1 tbsp. soy sauce, and 2 tsp. sesame oil in a large, heavy pot. Add fermented soybean paste (if using Japanese red miso instead, add just before serving) and stir to dissolve. Stir in garlic and chiles and bring to a boil, covered.
3. Add tofu, cabbage, zucchini, daikon, and two-thirds of the green onions; return to a boil, then lower heat and simmer, covered, until everything is tender, at least 5 minutes. Meanwhile, if using Japanese red miso, whisk with 1/2 cup hot broth. Stir miso broth, remaining green onions, and reserved beef into stew just before serving.
4. *Find at Korean markets. Japanese akamiso is available at gourmet grocery stores; you could also use white miso in a pinch.
