Army Stew (Budae-jjigae 부대찌개)

Option 1

I was only into K-drama in 2015 and never really noticed that this Army Stew (Budae-jjigae 부대찌개) was on one of their menu.  Usually on TV, I only see them eating BBQ, Tofu Stew and etc.

Even when during our previous visits, our Korean friends did not bring us to eat this.

Perhaps it is only popular in Singapore?  I have no idea.  Tell me if I am wrong.

Anyway, I had prepared this before and my family likes it but back then, the widest pan that I found was still small.  Thus I got this electric one that I find it safer to serve on a dining table.

What you need:

Stock (option 1)

30g ikan bilis

Kelp (about a palm size)

1 tsp salt

1 bulb garlic, crushed

2.5 litre water

Spam

enoki mushroom

button mushroom

rice cake

ramen

tofu

leek

pork

Sausage (I forgotten to add this)

Kimchi (I omitted this as my kids don't like)

Sweet Potato Noodle (omitted as I forgotten to buy this)

Seasoning

hot pepper flakes (I omit it as my daughter cannot take too spicy)

2 tbsp hot chilli paste

3 tbsp soya bean paste

Method:

Boil ingredient for stock for 30 mins for option 1
Boil chicken bones and chicken for 1 hour for option 2  

Arrange ingredients on a heating pan.  

Pour in the stock and season to taste (what I did was to season the stock first)

Bring to boil and dig in.
