It’s been a great day of skiing with friends and family. The sky is clear and the air is crisp. It’s time to start back to the cabin to refuel the body and the soul. The cabin only has a wood-fired oven to cook over, so what are your options?

Once hot, ladle into bowls and serve with your favourite hot sauce or try Raon Kitchen’s Korean marinades.
