2. Heat up the pot on a medium high heat with 1 tbsp sesame oil and ½ tbsp vegetable oil.

10. Turn off the stove and let the pot sit with lid on for about 30 min.*

Tips

*You can eat it right away of course, but we prefer to let it sit for a bit (it only gets yummier!). In Korea we would usually set up the table and prepare more side dishes in the meantime.
