Budae Jjigae - Korean Army Stew. A soup with an interesting and significant historical background.
Honestly a super fun and bizarre soup to build. I had some leftover ingredients from the bibimbap this weekend and that fits in perfectly with the Army stew. The ingredient list(shown in the video), reads like a stoner emptying the cupboards after taking all of b**g rips, all of them. But, they all come together to make an absolutely incredible stew.
You may see the Nongshim K Army stew in the store with the instant Ramen. It is nothing compared to this.
It's spicy, like 4/10 spicy. Nothing crazy, but it'll make you sweat.
And just a heads up. It's got so many common allergens in it. Shrimp, dairy, wheat. All of the major meat proteins(fish, poultry, pork, shellfish and beef)
