Hobak Gochujang Jjigae (Korean Spicy Zucchini Stew)

Step 1

Cut the zucchini and potatoes into about 1/2-inch thick bite size pieces. Roughly chop the scallion. Thinly slice the peppers.

Step 2

If using meat, see note 1 below. Otherwise, add 2 cups of water to a pot along with the red chili pepper paste and soybean paste. Stir well to dissolve. Bring it to a boil.

Step 3

Drop the potatoes in and bring it to a boil again. Continue to boil for a minute or two. Then add the zucchini, clam meat (unless using meat), garlic, chili peppers and scallions.

Step 4

Cook until the potatoes and zucchini turn soft. Serve hot with a bowl of rice.
