Korean Doenjang-Jjigae (Soybean Paste Soup)

Doenjang-jjigae is a Korean soup or stew and one of the simplest, quickest dishes I learned to make while I was in Korea. Doenjang is a fermented soybean paste that can be found in Asian grocers. It has a spicy and salty balance to tantalize your taste buds.
