Bean paste, tofu, and vegetable stew (Doenjang chigae) - Inspired

 

This is a tofu and vegetable stew that was inpired by Maangch's  Doenjang chigae 된장찌개.

I used shitake mushrooms, chinese cabbage, spring onions, zuchini, and soondubu or soft japanese tofu. i added some shrimps to add to the taste. Maangchi was right, the secret to a great tasting soup is a well prepared delicious stock. A really nice comfort food to eat on its own or with a steaming bowl of rice!
