Budae Jjigae is a Korean stew that contains sausages, hams, rice cakes, fish cakes, noodles, and different kinds of vegetables. Budae Jjigae was made long time ago when a war happened in Korea. People in Korea couldn’t eat anything because of the war, so people were finding all the left over food that they could find at the army base. The people just put all the foods they found into a pot and just boiled them all up into a stew and ate them. That is why it is called Budae Jjigae because Budae in Korean is army and Jjigae is stew in Korean, so it means that it is a army stew. Budae Jjigae is spicy and tasty. It has this addicting taste in it that makes you want to eat it more. It tastes a bit similar to Kimchi Jjigae because it contains Kimchi too.
