Vegetarian Doenjang Jjigae (된장찌개 Korean Soybean Paste Soup) + Special Ingredient!

Let's make some doenjang jjigae (된장찌개)! This classic Korean dish is traditionally uses rice water or dashi broth. I went for a more vegetarian approach and used aquafaba (chickpea water). This created a very nutty, deep riche flavor - it's super easy to make! The doenjang broth thickened quite easily and added to the overall umami flavor of the soy bean paste soup. Chickpeas are a great source of vegetable protein - it's very versatile and you can use it to substitute meat in a variety of meals! Hope this helps. Stay chic and healthy! -Harper Amazon Links Doenjang (Soybean) Paste: https://amzn.to/35IfnVD Chickpeas: https://amzn.to/2TOM4vj [Ingredients] 1/2 onion 1/2 zucchini 1 jalapeno (optional) Mushrooms (handful) 3 scallions 1.5 cup aquafaba 1.5 cup water 2.5 tbsp doenjang (soybean paste) 1 tsp red pepper powder or flakes 1 pack silken tofu 1.5 tsp minced garlic Precook some chickpeas! 1 cup chickpeas + 2 cup water for 30min in instant pot!
