You’re in the right place! This soup delivers heat in two ways. First, it’s hot and bubbly and then, it’s red and spicy (but not so much that you’ll double over). As always, you can tailor fit this to your own personal taste. Don’t like that kick? Remove the jalapeños and scale back the pepper flakes (though Korean flakes are without the seeds and much milder).
For me, it’s like an aphrodisiac. I love spicy and hot dishes and seafood is my favorite, and there’s something so subtly seductive about a personal pot of fierce aromatic bubbles that almost has a lulling effect on you as you slurp your way through. It’s like the food version of a roaring fire and that’s always sexy
