Korean cooks learned how to use the American ingredients in a Korean jjige. For a long time this was considered poor people food but is now becoming popular as just plain good food. Be sure to try it with a few friends and a bottle of soju.</p> <p>Some names for this dish are:<br /> Pudae-jjige<br /> army base stew<br /> Johnson tang<br /> pudaejjige<br /> Bu dae chigae<br /> Korean<br /> Budaechigae<br /> 부대찌게</p> <p>I love the dish and it is flexible in that you add what you want. Some versions call for cheese but I have not tried that that. </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/budae-jjigae-army-base-stew#post-4628 Fri, 18 Feb 2011 16:27:58 +0000 JamieF 4628@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Hi Maangchi - I was reading about this and it sounds very curious (it includes tinned spam among other things). If it is something you have made I think it would be an interesting addition to the recipes and I would try it (even though I wouldn't normally eat meat in a can!) </p>
