About Budae Jjigae (๋ถ๋์ฐ๊ฐ)
Budae jjigae is a spicy sausage stew or army base stew. It is made with sausage, ham, spam, kimchi, baked beans, and red chili paste. Why did they call it โarmy base stewโ? It is because, after the Korean War, people used surplus food supplied by the US army bases (hams, spams, and hotdogs), and put them into a traditional spicy soup. These days, people also include instant noodles, ground beef, pork, and rice cakes in the dish. And until today, Budae Jjigae is still one of the most popular dishes in South Korea.
