Instructions to make Budae-Jjigae Army Base Soup/ Stew:
- Slice the bacon and render the bacon keep the drippings. Slice the hotdogs on a bias.
- Break the ramen noodles up. You can use the flavorings ingredients, also add the flavor packet of the noodles, if you like. This soup is based with a lot of processed foods which can tend to be on the salty side.
- Cut the Vienna sausages into thirds. Add the juices to a pot, usually it's chicken broth. Add the chicken broth to the same pot. Heat the broths mixture.
- Cut the kimchee into manageable pieces.
- Add mushrooms and add everything to the pot with the hot broth, except the salt, tofu, and spam. Cube the tofu.
- In the bacon drippings fry the cubed tofu. Fry till a little colorful. Set tofu aside.
- Cube the spam and fry. When the spam is crisp add to the soup. When you fry the spam it gets a bit salty. Also the broth from the can of Vienna sausages is very salty along with the soya sauce. Add the tofu, and stir in. Simmer 30 minutes. Remove from heat. Add cheese on top.
- Taste to see saltiness, if too salty add a little more rice vinegar. If not salty enough add salt to taste. Serve with oyster crackers, I hope you enjoy!!
