You know those days when you want to make something, but you just don't have that one ingredient for it? Yeah, we get it. This is where this Clam Doenjang Vongole recipe comes in.
Don't have the white wine necessary to add that depth of flavor to your Vongole pasta dish? Try adding some doenjang (Korean fermented soybean paste) as an alternative— it adds a burst of umami to the clam juice-based sauce of this dish, making it the perfect combination. Now, you have a Korean-infused pasta recipe that you can make for your loved ones at your next dinner!
(This also works even if you do have white wine in your pantry— if you want to be adventurous with your cooking, try adding some doenjang!)
