For a vegetarian version, substitute vegetable broth for beef stock. Adjust the amount of red pepper to your preferred level of spice. Fresh shiitake mushrooms can be added for an earthy flavor boost. Doenjang can vary in saltiness, so taste and adjust accordingly. Start with a smaller amount and add more to taste. Consider adding a swirl of sesame oil just before serving for added richness and aroma.
