여러분… 된장찌개 먹어 본 적이 있나요? 어떻게 생각 하세요? Everyone… have you ever eaten soy bean stew? What do you think about it?
Monday at 9:50 pm
no offense, but it’s not really love at first taste. NOW, i love soybean stew, but at first the smell almost killed me. how about sundubu jigae? wow that stuff is magically delicious, especially if it’s cold weather. so why is the taste so different between soybean stew and tofu stew? don’t they essentially originate from the same plant? i knew i should have gone to culinary school. oh well, just somebody answer my question…ju-sey-yo
Monday at 9:53 pm
네, 많이 먹었어요! 찌개중에, 된장찌개가 내 가장 좋아하는 것이다! 너무 너무 맛있고 구수해요!
지금도 먹고 싶어요. 요리 방법을 배우고 싶어요. 정국장을 잊지마세요! 밭처럼 냄새가 있지만 그또 맛있어요.
Yes, I have eaten it. Soy bean stew is my favorite of all the Korean stews. Its very delicious and tasty. I want to have now! I also want to learn how to make it. Don’t forget about 정국장 (cheong guk jang). It smells like feet, but also tastes good.
Monday at 11:08 pm
*발처럼
Monday at 11:30 pm
i know what that soy bean thing is!! It has such a strong smell, but luckily I’m a strong girl!!
It takes a little getting used to, but I like it!!
Austin, how do you make the soup? Did you find out?
Monday at 11:41 pm
Am I the only one who has an extremely difficult time saying 를? When I hear it in the lesson it flows so nicely but I can’t say it without having a distinct difference between the marker and the object before it.
Tuesday at 1:40 am
넬리,
the different between 된장찌개(soybeen stew) and 두부찌개(tofu stew) is very miniscule indeed because most 된장찌개 has 두부 in it and most 두부찌개 are made in the form of 된장찌개.
So, you can make 된장찌개 without 두부, but 99% of 된장찌개 that you will find in Korea will have 두부 in it
and if you ask for 두부찌개, you will almost always get a 두부된장찌개 : ) but there are sometimes 두부김치찌개, so … that can be an exception. Hehe.

오스틴,
나도 청국장 정말 좋아해!
너무 자주 먹으면 몸에 냄새가 베일까 봐 자주 안 먹지만…ㅎㅎ 그래도 맛있어!
그리고 오스틴이 쓴 내용을 교정해 보면,
————————–
찌개중에 –> 찌개 중에
내 가장 –> 내가 가장
정국장을 –> 청국장
잊지마세요! –> 잊지 마세요!
밭처럼 냄새가 있지만 –> 발 냄새랑 비슷하지만
그또 맛있어요 –> 그래도 맛있어요
—————————-
:D

seoulsista,
hehe, actually the secret of making good 된장찌개 is how good the 된장 is ..
so finding good 된장 is more important I guess. but these days, the 된장 that you can find at any supermarket is really good so..
it’s really an easy dish to make!
I love 된장찌개 too!
사라
To me, the ‘를’ sound seems to be similar to the English sound that you make when you say “not at all” really fast, I mean when the “T” sound is softened, so “not at all” sounds like “나래롤”
If you remember this sound, I think it can help you get the feel of the 를 sound combined with other sounds!
:D
Tuesday at 8:28 am
yes, i guess that’s really true. the ingredients in 두부찌개 and 된장찌개 are very similar. but whatever extra something they put in the 두부찌개 makes a difference. also I love the 된장 that ajumma makes herself, but I buy some from the supermarket that’s no good.
ahh, thanks for the pronunciation tip of “를”. it’s amazing how we have that same sound in english, but for some reason it’s so difficult to pronounce in korean. doesn’t make sense really. oh well, keep on trying.
Tuesday at 8:48 am
넬리,
if you want to make your 된장찌개 more tasty, try putting in some sliced red pepper and sliced onion
that might help. heh heh.
And about the pronunciation, I’m sure it will come in time
just like you said, keep on trying!
계속 연습하세요!~
Tuesday at 9:41 am
선현우,
Thank you for the tip, I will try to keep that in mind when pronouncing it from now on ^-^
Tuesday at 10:15 am
사라,
you’re welcome!
천만에요~!

The voice actors always say “B”, but Kieth and Seol always say “M”. It is kind of annoying.
By the way, non-asians often eat tofu, especially if they are vegetarian.
Tuesday at 1:59 pm
Carl, can you be specific with when you heard it this lesson? I’m not trying to discount you, I just want to see what you’re hearing that I am obviously missing.
Friday at 2:55 pm
I made 된장찌개 once. Maybe it was the brand of 된장 that I got but there was a sour (셔요/신맛이?) note that really, um, bothered me.
Sunday at 11:32 pm
If you want to learn how to make 된장찌개 go to this link:

Actually, if you want to learn how to make ANY Korean dishes, you’ll be able to find it on her site. I’ve made many of her dishes successfully to adoring eaters
Monday at 2:21 am
Oh
저도 필요할 것 같아요!
I think I’ll need her videos too!!
Friday at 4:59 am
I’m confused, you only use the “reul” if you are speaking about an object? Also i don’t understand why “neun” is used in certain situations and not others?
Friday at 7:42 am
Hi! I’m vegetarian, is doenjangjjigae vegetarian? or is it just made with soy bean paste? does anyone know of a good vegetarian jjigae?
Monday at 11:39 am
Vivian,
You can use ‘reul’ in most cases, but sometimes when you want to emphasize an object in contrast to something else, you can use ‘neun’ in place of ‘reul’
For example
uyu-reul joahaeyo ( i like milk )
uyu-neun joahaeyo ( i don’t know about other things, but as for milk only, I like it )
Monday at 11:40 am
Karisa,
Doenjangjjigae can be vegetarian or not so vegetarian. It depends on what they add to the soup - the best way to go is to make your order specific when you order doenjangjjigae and say ‘ gogi ppaego juseyo (고기 빼고 주세요) ‘ which means ‘please don’t put meat in it’
Saturday at 5:38 pm
In the lesson notes, “싫어하다” is romanized as “jojahada”, but should be “silheohada”, I think it’s a small mistake, because in reality “jojahada” corresponds to “촣아하다” right? ^^
And in formal conversation “eat?” is “드십니까?” or “드세요?” What is the verb in this case? Is “드시다”?
I really like the lessons.
Thanks for making learn Korean as easy.
And read the comments are also a great help.

아니요 절대. 하지만 전 먹고 싶어요. 저는 두부 좋아

Oops, I tried to post and something seems to have eaten my post.
Speaking of eating, I ate 김치찌개 for the first time today at my local Lotte Plaza. (I’m so lucky to be in the U.S. but have one near me!)
It was fun to sit there and try to pick out whatever words I could from the conversations at the tables around me. Speaking of the tables, I loved how the “chairs” were just lacquered tree stumps…
I also picked up some 소주 and will try it for the first time tonight. Too bad they didn’t have and 사과소주. I think I would like it!
Monday at 10:15 am
Glad to see you again!
I’m sorry that you had to write the post again. Actually, I’ve just had the same problem with my web-browser
It is great that you had your first 김치찌개 at the restaurant near your home. I didn’t know that Lotte Plaza is also in the U.S. The staff should be very surprising that you order the 김치찌개 and say some Korean words : ) I think it is the best place to know Korean and practice Korean language.
How was the 소주? For some people like me, 소주 is strong, so sometimes I get headaches next morning. I hope you felt okay on the next day : )
If you would like to make 사과소주, the apple soju, you can fill 30% of a cup with Soju and other 70% with Apple juice. That’s the popular recipe for making mixed-soju.
Thank you for sharing your experiences, and I hope to hear more stories from you soon.
Thank you. 감사합니다.

I had some beef bul gogi at a local Korean restaurant. I have to say it was the best meat I’ve ever had. the spices were amazing!
Saturday at 9:10 am
I’m Jaehwi from Koreanclass101.com
I’m glad to hear that you liked the 소불고기(so-bulgogi/beef-bulgogi) at the restaurant. I love the food too, and usually enjoy the spicy one : )
You can also get a sauce for making your own 소불고기 at home. I hope someday you can make it too : )
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Have a nice weekend! 좋은 주말 보내세요!
