Full recipe is on my website: http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/doenjang-jjigae-geotjeori-bibimbap Korean fermented soybean paste stew (doenjang-jjigae), is made with vegetables, tofu, and Korean fermented bean paste. It's Koreans' everyday house food. We eat it with other side dishes and rice, but sometimes, especially in the southern part of Korea where I'm from, we eat this stew with barley rice, vegetable salad, and hot pepper paste all mixed together. This is the style I’m going to teach you to make today.

PCOS-Friendly Foods in This Recipe

This recipe contains the following foods that may benefit PCOS management: Barley.

Barley is about the best grain a woman with PCOS can eat. It is low in calories and has the lowest GI of all grains. Low-GI grains such as barley take much longer to digest and create a slow, steady rise in blood glucose and insulin levels. As mentioned before on Fertility Chef, low-GI foods reduce cravings. If possible, try and find hulled barley as it is the most nutrient dense of all types of barley.
