Main Ingredients- 1 can Spam
- 1/2 onion
- 1 stalk green onion
- 1 bowl kimchi (well-fermented)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare your ingredients. Dice the onion into 0.5cm cubes. Slice the green onion diagonally into 0.5cm thick pieces. Take the Spam out of the can and slice it lengthwise into 0.5cm thick pieces. Chop the kimchi into bite-sized pieces, about 2-3cm.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine 1 Tbsp gochugaru, 2/3 Tbsp gochujang, and 1/3 Tbsp guk-ganjang. Mix them thoroughly to create a delicious Budae Jjigae seasoning paste. This paste will give the stew its signature spicy flavor.
Step 3
Now, it’s time to layer the ingredients in the pot. Start with the kimchi at the bottom, followed by the diced onion, green onion, and finally the Spam slices. Evenly distribute the prepared seasoning paste over the top. Add just enough water to cover all the ingredients (about 2-3 cups).
Step 4
It’s time to cook! Bring the stew to a boil over high heat with the lid on, and let it simmer vigorously for about 5 minutes. Once the ingredients are cooked through and the flavors have melded together, your delicious Spam Budae Jjigae is ready! For an even heartier meal, feel free to add tofu, ramen noodles, or rice cakes.
