We take you behind the scenes as we try to make Korean Army Stew, a dish we both love, for the first time together. Enjoy our fun-filled cooking session with soju and wine as we add our own interpretation to this iconic dish. We also experiment with a couple of cheeses to find the best one for Budae Jjigae.
Budae Jjigae, or Korean Army Stew, is a unique fusion dish that emerged after the Korean War. It blends Korean flavours with surplus ingredients from US military bases, such as Spam, hot dogs, and baked beans. The dish typically includes kimchi, ramen noodles, gochujang (Korean chilli paste), and American cheese, creating a hearty and flavourful stew. Often cooked communally at the table, Budae Jjigae symbolises resourcefulness and cultural integration, making it a popular comfort food in modern Korean cuisine. This dish embodies both historical significance and contemporary appeal, offering a nostalgic yet innovative dining experience.
