RECIPE: KOREAN ARMY STEW

It may have taken some time but it looks like my taste buds have finally warmed up to Korean cuisine. So much so that I even find myself cooking it from time to time… These Korean cooking adventures usually come in quick succession one after the other as there’s usually a tub of kimchi to use up. One of my favourite recipes I’ve tried out to date was this Korean Army Stew. Although I do use the term “recipe” quite loosely because this really entailed throwing into a pan this and that. Minimal effort, maximum taste and comfort; the best combination for a winter meal.
