This unique twist replaces fish with lentils, providing a plant-based alternative while maintaining the original’s spicy and savory profile. The stew is brimming with nutritious ingredients like daikon, shiitake mushrooms, and tofu, all simmered in a robust broth seasoned with gochujang and gochugaru.
