At Ashley’s request, I made my first attempt at home-cooked Korean dish. This recipe is easy and the stew is very tasty! Tofu and mushroom are the two favorite ingredients in our home-cooked meals. Soupy, and spicy; this makes a very hearty dinner with steamed rice. There will be many more Korean dish attempts in my kitchen going forward…
