Korean Mushroom Hot Pot. Aka Beoseot Jeongol (Jeongol means ‘Hot Pot’). It’s a simple, healthy dish that builds on the earthy flavor of mushrooms. Make it vegetarian. Or if you want to feel sexy, throw in some shabu-shabu beef and udon noodles 🙂

My mom used to make this dish when we were younger. I remember fighting with my sister about what noodles to drop into the broth. I was always an “udon” guy. My sister preferred “ramen” noodles. I would plead my case … that udon is much better as ramen noodles suck up too much of the broth. But she would rebuttal: “I’m older – so deal with it.”

Its funny that particular dishes brings back so many childhood memories. Just like songs from the 90’s.
