Budae Jjigae (Korean Army Base Stew)
This dish originated after the Korean War when food was scarce. Canned spam, hot dogs, and beans from U.S. military bases were combined with kimchi, vegetables, noodles, and spicy seasonings to create a hearty stew. I first tried it at a Korean restaurant near my home and loved it so much I learned to make it myself. My version is fairly spicy!
