Today I'm going to show you how to make a spicy Korean hot pot with dumplings in less than 20 minutes.
This dish is called Mandu Jeongol (만두 전골) in Korea, and it's a popular home-cooked meal that's not only easy to make, but also packed with vegetables. It's one of those comforting dishes that Korean families often enjoy together.
