About Budae jjigae
Budae Jjigae, also known as "Army Stew," is a Korean fusion dish born from post-war improvisation. Combining traditional Korean flavors with Western ingredients, it typically includes kimchi, gochujang (red pepper paste), Spam, hot dogs, instant noodles, baked beans, tofu, and vegetables such as onions, mushrooms, and zucchini. Often enjoyed as a communal meal, this hearty stew is cooked in a spicy, savory broth. While rich in protein from meat and tofu, its nutritional profile can be imbalanced due to high sodium and preservatives from processed items like Spam and instant noodles. However, the inclusion of vegetables provides fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Budae Jjigae is a flavorful indulgence that highlights creativity and resilience in Korean cuisine, and healthier homemade variations can be created by adjusting the use of processed ingredients and incorporating more fresh produce.
