Ingredients: 4 cups chicken broth; 1 cup water; 1 onion, sliced; 3 cloves garlic, minced; 1/2 cup kimchi, chopped; 1/2 cup SPAM, sliced into bite-sized pieces; 1/2 cup hot dogs, sliced; 1/2 cup firm tofu, cubed; 1 cup mushrooms, sliced; 2 green onions, chopped; 1/2 cup Korean rice cakes (tteok); 1 tbsp Korean chili paste (gochujang); 1 tbsp soy sauce; 1 tbsp sesame oil; 1 tsp sugar; 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions

In a large pot, combine the chicken broth and water. Bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Add the sliced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Let them simmer for a couple of minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the chopped kimchi, SPAM, and sliced hot dogs. Allow the ingredients to cook together for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Toss in the firm tofu, sliced mushrooms, and green onions. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Incorporate the Korean rice cakes into the pot. Let them simmer in the stew until they become slightly soft, which should take approximately 8-10 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the Korean chili paste, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and black pepper. Stir until well combined, then pour this mixture into the stew, stirring gently to distribute the flavors evenly.
Taste the stew and adjust the seasoning to your preference. You can add more chili paste for spiciness or sugar for sweetness, depending on your taste.
Let the stew simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes to allow all the ingredients to come together beautifully.
Once everything is well-cooked and the flavors have melded, your Budae Jjigae Korean Army Base Stew is ready to be enjoyed!
