The Korean word “budaejjigae” is a combined word of “budae” (meaning army in Korean) and “jjigae” (meaning stew). Various ingredients including sausages, ham, minced beef, bacon, and cheese are boiled together, creating a rich and thick broth. The stew originated from a one-pot dish made with remnants, including sausages and ham supplied from the US army bases. The stew is spicy and slightly oily.
