How to Make Korean Sausage Stew, Budae Jjigae | 부대찌개

 

 Korean Sausage Stew

Hello, everyone! It’s so good to see you again! Last week, my husband asked me to cook his most favorite stew, “Spicy sausage stew, Budae-jjigae. Especially many Korean men love to eat Spicy sausage stew to remember their military service experience. Budae-jjigae or spicy sausage stew is a type of Korean fusion dish, made with ham, sausage, spam, baked beans, kimchi, instant noodles, and gochujang. The dish origin was created shortly after the armistice that ended the Korean War, using the scrounged or smuggled surplus foods from U.S. military bases. Although the dish was born in the period of post-war poverty, it continued to be popular during the period of rapid growth, and is still very popular today. This cuisine is a simply perfect combination between western processed meats and kimchi, and a comfort food cooked on the table in a big pot in front of the diners and enjoyed as it is cooked for many Koreans. I am pretty sure you will like it. Well let’s make it together! 

Ingredients: 3 sausages, half spam, half tofu, half onion, 2 green onions, 1 cup of sliced kimchi, half ramyeon

Seasoning: 1T soy sauce, 1/2T red pepper paste, 1T red pepper powder, 1/2T minced garlic, 1t sugar, a bit pepper 

How to make it

Step 1: Making seasoning

Put 1 tablespoon of soy sauce in a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of red pepper powder, half a tablespoon of red pepper paste, half a tablespoon of garlic, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and a bit of pepper. 

Mix it well. 

Step 2: Preparing the ingredients 

Cut the sausage diagonally. Cut the spam and the tofu into appropriate sizes. Slice the onion thinly. 

Cut the green onions into 2-inch pieces.

Step 3: Placing the ingredients in a pot 

Put the onions, kimchi, spam, tofu, sausages, sliced green onions and the sauce that we made in advance. 

Pour 2 and 1/2 cups of rice water. If you don't have rice water, you can just use water or chicken broth for the extra flavor.

Step 4: Boiling 

Cover the lid and cook over high heat for about 10 minutes. 

10 minutes later, when all the ingredients are cooked well, add some ramyeon. You can also add rice cakes or glass noodles. This is optional. If it's a little bland, it's good to season it with a bit of salt or fish sauce.

Eat the noodles first because the noodles soak up the liquid fast from the stew. Koreans have budae jjigae with rice. It might be a perfect dinner.

Can you see the spicy flavor in the Spicy sausage stew? That’s why Korean men love to eat this. I am wondering what your favorite Korean stew is. Please let me know in the comments. I'll be back with a simple and delicious dish next time. Have a great one! Thank you! Bye bye!

• How to make rice water. Wash rice well under running water, throw away the first water, and use the second water.
• If you use rice water, it is good to dilute the saltiness and fat of ham and sausage.
