Budae Jjigae, or "Army Stew," is a flavorful Korean dish born from creativity during post-war scarcity. This hot and hearty stew combines Korean ingredients like kimchi, gochujang (spicy red pepper paste), and tofu with Western additions such as sausage, spam, baked beans, and instant ramen—a unique fusion of flavors and textures. Often enriched with onions, garlic, mushrooms, and fresh greens, it delivers a blend of savory spiciness and richness. While the vegetables and spicy broth provide vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, processed meats and high sodium content can pose health concerns if consumed excessively. Typically served bubbling hot in large pots, Budae Jjigae is a comforting communal dish intended to be shared. Rich in protein and carbohydrates, it makes for a hearty meal, but moderation is key to balance the indulgent ingredients with its nutritious components.
