On cold winter days all we want is a warm bowl of soup or stew to keep us and our hearts warm. With little chunks of meat, carrots and potatoes it is sure to be the perfect bowl to keep us warm. Paired with the depth of flavour and heat from gochujang, and Korean chili flakes this bowl is sure to comfort you on cold nights. Simple and quick to make, throw everything into a pot and let it boil. It is as simple as that, you can prep, throw, boil and let it all boil down. Whilst its boiling down you can spend your time doing something else, might I suggest keeping warming.
