The Recipe (Korean: 된장; RR: Doenjang; literally "Soybean paste") is a 2010 South Korean film about a television producer who finds out many surprising truths while tracking down the story about a mysterious bean paste stew.

Jang Hye-jin (Lee Yo-won) is an ordinary woman whose doenjang jjigae (soybean paste soup) is to die for but only very few have tried it.

While looking, Chou Yoo-jin discovers how the police were only able to catch the killer due to him walking into a kitchen with the doenjang jjigae cooking.

Jang is nowhere to be found and upon Choi's journey he learns she died while searching for her love, Kim Hyun-soo (Lee Dong-wook) but hopes to discover the recipe.

The English title, The Recipe, contains a lot of meaning: a record of a person’s life, a memory of taste, an experience of loss and a chronicle of hurts.
