Chef's Tips

Adjust the amount of gochujang to your desired spice level.

Feel free to add other vegetables to the hot pot, such as carrots, zucchini, or spinach.

For a richer flavor, you can add a small amount of fish sauce to the broth.

If using frozen dumplings, add them directly to the hot pot without thawing.

If you don't have pork belly, you can use thinly sliced beef or chicken instead.
