For a richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of gochujang (Korean chili paste) alongside the doenjang. Feel free to customize the vegetables based on your preference and what's in season. Mushrooms, potatoes, or Korean radish (mu) are excellent additions. Adjust the amount of jalapeño to control the spiciness. For a milder flavor, remove the seeds and membranes before slicing.
