Soul Food

My soul food

Budaejjigae(sausage stew) is first fusion food in Korea I think. It's made with ham, sausage, baked beans, and kimchi.

Budaejjigae has little sad story. After the Korean War, food was scarce in South Korea. People dwelling around U. S. army bases, in the Uijeongbu, Pyeongtaek, and Munsan areas made use of surplus foods from army bases, commonly processed meat products, collectively known as budae-gogi, such as ham, hot dogs, and Spam, along with canned baked beans. Later on, anchovy broth flavored with gochujang and kimchi was added to create the stew that is enjoyed today.

When I was little boy I had catch a cold, my mother cooked Budaejjigae all the time. I have eaten Budaejjigae and cold was recovering miraculously. Budaejjigae is love in my case. And It is my soul food also.
