How to Make Ramen Budae Jigae (Korean Army Stew)

Ramen Budae Jigae, or Korean Army Stew, is one of the most popular hot pot dishes in Korea. It combines American foods like Spam, baked beans, and American cheese with a Korean-style soup base and more typical Korean ingredients like rice cakes and tofu. 

That's why we're using Mike's Mighty Good kimchi ramen pillow pack for the noodles and soup base.
