Cook's tip

For less heat, halve the gochugaru and add a little more cream. Simmer leftover broth with rice and cheese for a rosé risotto. Udon or thick pasta also work well instead of fresh noodles.

Cooking it at camp

Make the broth in one deep pot and use fresh, pre-cooked udon instead of raw noodles: just drop them into the broth to heat and you only need one pot. Keep the cream cold in the cooler, and clean and freeze the seafood before you leave.
