Step 1
Pat the shrimp and fish pieces dry with paper towels — this helps them brown slightly instead of steaming when they hit the hot broth.
Step 2
In a small bowl, stir together the gochujang, water, and sesame oil until smooth — this is your dipping sauce.
Step 3
Pour the anchovy stock into a large pot or shallow hot-pot vessel and set it over medium-high heat until small bubbles form around the edges, about 3 minutes.
Step 4
Stir 3 tablespoons of soy sauce into the hot broth until fully blended.
Step 5
Arrange the shrimp and fish chunks on one side of the pot and the napa cabbage on the other side — they will cook in the simmering broth.
Step 6
Maintain the broth at a gentle simmer (small bubbles breaking the surface steadily) and let cook uncovered for 8 minutes, until the shrimp are pink and opaque and the fish is flaky when poked.
Step 7
Ladle the broth, seafood, and vegetables into two bowls, dividing evenly.
Step 8
Serve each bowl with a small ramekin of the gochujang dipping sauce on the side for each diner to add to taste.
