Jeongol

Jeongol (Korean: 전골) is a Korean-style hot pot made by putting meat, mushroom, seafood, seasoning, etc. , in a stew pot, adding broth, and boiling it. It is similar to the category of Korean stews called jjigae, with the main difference being that jjigae are generally made with only a single main ingredient, and named after that ingredient, while jeongol usually contain a variety of main ingredients.

An additional difference is that jeongol was originally a dish for upper-class Koreans and members of the royal court, while jjigae was a simpler dish for commoners.
