Korean-style Hotpot
Korean-style hotpot is referred to as Jeongol (전골). It is also made by putting a variety of ingredients into a pot of boiling broth. A more well-known variety would be Budae Jjigae (부대찌개) A.K.A Korean Army Stew, a Korean fusion stew with American-style processed ingredients such as canned beans, sliced cheese and luncheon meat.
