Budae jjigae (army stew)

Budae jjigae, also known as army stew, is a popular Korean dish that originated during the aftermath of the Korean War. During this period of time, food was scarce and many people were starving in Korea, who turned to American military rations to create this fusion dish featuring gochujang, tteok, kimchi and tofu, but also American frankfurts, spam, baked beans and processed cheese; truly representing Korean resilience to adapt and survive during an extremely challenging period of Korean history.
