Notes
This is a wonderfully simple warm, creamy, and spicy stew for resting between adventures. We took a twist on typical shakshuka with using gochujang paste, a sweet and savory spicy paste that goes well on anything. We used 2 tbsp of hot gochujang and it came out with only a slight zing of spicy, but you can add more or less of hotter or milder paste to your taste.
Keep a close eye on your eggs, they can go from raw to hard boiled pretty quickly. As soon s the whites get mostly set, be attentive and ready to pull the skillet off your cooking fire.
We used a cheaper loaf of bread for scooping the stew with as we expected most of the flavor to be in the stew itself, however there is certainly room for a nice bread to shine in this. We definitely recommend investing some of your gold there as the rest of the recipe is rather cheap.
