Budae-jjigae, aka Korean Army Stew, is loaded with all the goodies—ramen, spam, kimchi, rice cakes, tofu, veggies—and soaked in a rich, spicy, umami-packed broth made with gochujang and gochugaru. It’s perfect for cold days, lazy weekends, or feeding a crowd with zero fuss.

Just mix the sauce and lay it at the bottom of a shallow pot. Neatly arrange your ingredients—spam, tofu, tteok, kimchi, mushrooms, greens, and noodles—then pour in the broth and bring to a boil. Crack an egg on top, simmer for a few minutes, and finish with scallions or a slice of cheese if you like.

Make sure to stir the sauce into the broth for that full flavor hit!
