My homemade pollack stew, a refreshing and hearty bowl for the winter.

I tried making Dongtae Jjigae myself this time, and wow… this refreshing and hearty soup is perfect for winter. I added a generous amount of radish to the broth, which was made with dried pollack, anchovies, and kelp, making it much more refreshing and flavorful.

Dongtae is rich in protein yet low in fat, making it a great option for those looking for a healthy snack. Its vitamin D and omega-3s are said to help with bone health and blood circulation. Radish is rich in dietary fiber and vitamin C, which are good for digestion, soothing the stomach and boosting immunity in the winter.

When I made it myself, the natural flavors of the ingredients came through, making it even more delicious. And when I shared it with my family, the word "refreshing" just came out naturally. The spicy yet refreshing broth made me finish a bowl of rice in no time, and it definitely warmed my body on a cold day.

What's special about this dish is that it doesn't use any gochujang at all, but instead uses gochugaru, red pepper, and green onions to make it spicy. It's refreshing and not gritty.

I think Dongtae Jjigae is the perfect winter dish for both health and taste. If you're looking for a refreshing soup to eat during the winter, I recommend making it yourself. It's delicious and nutritious, so everyone will love it!
