- 15 minutes to make
- Serves 4
The earliest of Asian fusion cuisine, Budae Jjigae spawned from the Korean War. The ingredients, such as Spam and hot dogs, may sound scary, but they surprisingly taste great in this stew. It's Fourth of July in a bowl!
Ingredients
- onion, minced shopping list
- 2 cloves garlic, minced shopping list
- 1/4 Gochujang (Korean red pepper paste) shopping list
- water shopping list
- onion, chopped shopping list
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped shopping list
- 1 or 2 Chile peppers, chopped shopping list
- 1 leek, white part, sliced thinly shopping list
- hot dogs or sausage, sliced shopping list

- Sliced firm tofu (optional) shopping list

How to make it
- Stir fry the minced Garlic and Onion in a teeny tiny drop of oil.
- Add the Gochujang and stir fry a little bit.
- Add enough Water to fill the wok half way. Turn the heat to high.
- Add chopped Onions, chopped Garlic, and Leeks and bring to a boil.
- Add the Meats. Boil for two minutes.
- Add the Leafy Green Vegetables, Tofu, and Baked Beans... and maybe a dash of Soju for good luck. Boil for a couple of minutes.
- Add the Ramen Noodles and immediately turn off the heat.
- Serve in the pot on the table accompanied by rice, kimchi, and other side dishes. If possible, have it simmering on a campfire stove on the table. Guests serve themselves.
