Maeuntang
Maeuntang is a delicious Korean fish stew known for its spicy and savory flavors. It typically consists of various types of fish, such as cod or mackerel, along with an assortment of vegetables and seasonings. The broth is usually seasoned with gochujang (Korean chili paste) to give it that spicy taste.
Ingredients

- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup cabbage sliced
- 1 cup bean sprouts
