The earliest of Asian fusion cuisine, Budae Jjigae spawned from the Korean War. The ingredients, such as Spam and hot dogs, may sound scary, but they surprisingly taste great in this stew. It's Fourth of July in a bowl! Read more ! Ingredients:

2 cloves garlic, minced |
1/4 gochujang (korean red pepper paste) |
