Spicy Fish Stew

매운탕
Romanization: Maeun-tang

This hearty stew features firm white fish simmered in a spicy, red broth made with gochujang and doenjang. It is typically served bubbling hot in a stone pot, often accompanied by tofu, radish, and green onions. The rich, savory, and spicy flavors make it a comforting choice for cold days.
