Korean Army Stew

Happy lunch today!! This is one of the easiest lunch I've prepared. ^0^ Just prepared a simple stock base, sliced up some of the ingredients followed by arranging them into a portable hot pot. When ready to serve, pour in the stock and bring to boil. Super fast and of course super nice to eat too! Me and my kids enjoyed this hot stew except my the other half whom thought this dish looks rather messy and tasted so-so only. Oops...think I can only make this again when his not having meals at home in the future. hahahaha.....
