Perilla Doenjang Yukgaejang
λ€κΉ¨λμ₯μ‘κ°μ₯
A gentler take on spicy yukgaejang, with shredded pork, young napa cabbage, bean sprouts and mushrooms in a radish-shrimp broth seasoned with doenjang and perilla. Young cabbage is rich in potassium, and doenjang and perilla make the soup savory rather than harsh.
