Notes
- For less spice, reduce the amount of broad bean paste added.
- For additional spice, add 1-2 tablespoons of chili paste/sambal (adding more broad bean paste may make the dish too salty).
- Make sure to reserve the mushroom soaking liquid to add at the end.
- You can substitute white miso paste for red if that's what you have.
- You can use pork or vegetable stock in place of the chicken stock.
