How to use doenjang beyond one stew
Start with the amount in the recipe: soybean paste already contributes salt and a strong fermented flavor.
What to try
Make doenjang jjigae with tofu and vegetables for a direct introduction to the paste.
Try the linked pajeon recipe, where a smaller amount seasons the batter.
Dissolve lumps into a little liquid before mixing; taste before adding more salt.
Make a small adjustment, then check the result before changing the whole batch.
