Korean Glass Noodles Stew with Beef

….My mother-in -law’s generation, when a guest visited her house, she served meals to her guests in Korea. Sometimes she made a dish very quickly for a guest who came without advanced notice. The dish was glass noodles stew with beef. It is seasoned with gochujang, with floating tofu. I used to make it when I’m in a hurry for JOHN and me. Any food with glass noodles is delicious for us. It’s an easy recipe that anyone can do with just a few ingredients. JOHN eats well today….
