Today we're having another soup - Budae Jjigae.
Budae Jjigae is not Korean traditional food. It was invented after the Korean war when
American food (like spam and hotdogs) were very abundant.
Apparently, it originated from an area we've been to before, Songtan.
The ingredients in Budae Jjigae are often similar to what would be in other Korean stews.
The main difference being that things such as spam and hotdogs, which you can see Audrey
moving around here (and she stopped) were found around the American bases. There is
also a kind of fusion stew, so there can be any kind of different ingredients thrown in.
Sometimes you'll find noodles are put in. There is a lot of different things and it
is getting steamy.
Considering it has spam it is quite tasty.
It is light and just a little bit spicy.
As with all Korean meals this comes with rice, kimchi and other side dishes.
