Doenjang Is the Headliner

Doenjang Is the Headliner

In the spotlight, doenjang in sunglasses splashes alone into an empty anchovy broth — crickets chirp, “awkward~” — and a ladle scoops it off the stage like a vaudeville hook. The opening band of potato, zucchini and tofu gets the broth roaring first, and once the veggies are half-cooked, headliner doenjang makes its entrance in a pillar of fire. Boil it too long and the golden “nutty aroma” flies off, waving with its bags packed, as musty clouds rise — but with special guest Cheongyang chili, just 2 minutes and “Done!” — an LED board flashes the three mistakes with red ✕s and the fixes with green ✓s.
