Southern-Style Gumbo
Gumbo is a signature stew from Louisiana in the American South. Chicken, bacon and vegetables simmer in tomato sauce, with curry powder for extra depth — a spicy one-bowl dish that also suits Korean tastes. It's simple enough for anyone to enjoy.

Tips
Since it's much like a stew, cut the meat and vegetables large if you have time; if you're short on time, cut them small. Adjust the heat level with the hot sauce.
