A lazy meal usually happens when the weekend
comes and one does not go out to eat nor have friends visit. For that, a simple
meal is a soup, and this recipe is for a kind of spicy soup that Japanese or
Korean people often serve on the street or in restaurants with more fancy ingredients
added to this bowl of soup. I like to cook this soup with an easier way because
it's very simple and the ingredients are usually found in most families’ kitchen.
The spiciness of this soup can be according to each person's preference by
adding or reducing it. There are also a few ways to make this soup, but I will
know introduce an easy way to create this spicy soup that will make your
