Chef's Tips

Adjust the amount of gochujang and gochugaru to your spice preference. Start with less and add more as needed.

For a richer flavor, use chicken broth instead of water.

Feel free to add other vegetables like cabbage, carrots, or mushrooms to the hot pot.

You can add other proteins such as beef, pork, or tofu to the hot pot.
