Budae Jjigae, translated as Army Stew is a dish that has origins in the Korean war. It uses western ingredients that were historically found in U.S military bases (e.g. canned food and processed meat,…) and mixes with local Korean sourced ingredients such as kimchi, tofu, mushrooms to combine into a unique fusion dish.

This stew is super delicious and easy to make. You need some time chopping and prepping the ingredients but otherwise cooking time is less than 10 minutes! So warm and hearty, perfect cure for the grey and rainy days in London recently
