This is a dish I repeatedly cook especially when the weather is cold. As you can read in the method, it is super easy to cook. And the dish is comfortingly delicious. I always season it very simply as I believe that’s the best way to season this dish. You may wish to add other vegetables. Shiitake Mushrooms are a nice addition.
