부대찌개 소개 감사합니다 ~~~Yes, we koreans really love this ARMY STEW and there are several versions of that. Hot version/mild version/ kimchi version and so on. Love it ♥️♥️♥️

I have watched your videos since 2018 and I am still baffled that you have the courage to wear white clothes when you cook with soy sauce and hot pepper paste

"I like garlic so I'm gonna do 2 cloves"
Me, a Portuguese living in Italy: 6 cloves it is xD

I appreciate that you do your research and cook dishes the authentic way. Looks delicious!

After visiting Seoul, South Korea back in October/2022. I was craving a Korean Army stew, your recipe makes it easy as usual. I made it at home and my husband & I look at each other while eating it and commented...."this is delicious and really quite FUN to eat too!"

During, and immediately after, the 1950-1953 Korean War Koreans faced a very serious threat from starvation. The U.S. Army provided South Korea with a lot of food. When you're starving to death you'll throw spam, american cheese, ramen, and kimchi into the same pot.

Turns out... it's delicious.

I love Korean army stew.
And it's so lovely to have when weather is cold.
It's very much as like a soul food.
Thank you for sharing this lovely recipe

This is also super yummy using those ready-made pouches of the white-colored Korean Beef Bone stock (sa gol gom tang). I also love adding in Korean rice cakes (dduk). Next time I make this I'm definitely going to add wood ear mushrooms like you did.

I had this some years back at a restaurant in South Korea but it was a "luxury" version. good

Here in the states, Cheerios is a famous cereal. It’s either honey nut flavored literally called Honey Nut Cheerios which is extremely popular and loved by many, or regular.

In the US, those little sausages are called "cocktail weiners" because you'd typically see them at cocktail parties, usually wrapped in some dough to make Pigs in a Blanket. However, ours are a lot smaller, small enough that you can eat them with a toothpick.

This may be the craziest dish I've ever seen. So jealous.

Thanks Marion for introducing this beloved Korean late night snack to your channel!

As a Korean, the version I tried that my cousin made me was simply made with the Korean ramen soup packets as the base instead of adding a separate chicken or vegetable broth. She added a bit of the kimchi juice and lots of kimchi, a bit of gochujang, but very little of it. She said it's supposed to be simple like that and more quick and instant and buildable. So we added ramen, lots of spam, Vienna sausage, eggs, kimchi, rice cakes, and American cheese on top. It's supposed to be eaten as a late night snack. Yes, adding onion and your favorite mushrooms is good too. Highly recommend trying it at a Korean restaurant first because you will get an idea of it. Not many restaurants sell it, as it's more of a snack food aka junk food than an actual meal. If you do find it, bring all your friends because the portions are huge! Marion's version looks good (minus the baked beans) and hope you guys get to enjoy and make it at home!

Watched this years ago on Seongkyong Longest’s Channel - this has reminded me I need to make this!!! 💯💯💯💯

[alishahowell]

I have to randomly say. I adore your recipes and all the recipes I've tried are absolutely wonderful and my favorite. Asian dishes have become REGULAR in my house because of your recipes.
That being said my husband was not happy to try this specific recipe. He said it sounded not good and didn't want to try it. I made him try it anyways because to me it sounded wonderful. This is one of the few dishes he has literally asked me to make because he was craving it. 😭

And guess what I’ve decided we are having for dinner tonight???? Thiiiisss! Can’t wait to have it 🥰🥰 I’ve prepped one for us and one for my Indian mother inlaw and father inlaw 😜 let’s see what they make of it.
Thank you Marion x

Rice cake is missing! I can be a bit of food snob, but this is one of my go to picks when I go to a Korean restaurant. Food is about tasting good, not how expensive its ingredients are!!

[Samko]

I'm so happy that you did Budae jjigae!!! <3 Always love your recipes and this is so legit and good. Thanks :)
