Recipe 🍳
- Cut the napa cabbage, onion, and green onion into large, bite-sized pieces and arrange them neatly at the bottom of a hot pot. Add the baby corn and tteokguk rice cakes.
- Peel the casing off the chorizo sausage and slice it thickly so that the seasoning infuses well into the broth. Arrange the slices around the edge of the pot.
- Pile the aged kimchi in the center of the pot and add some of the kimchi juice for a refreshing taste.
- In a bowl, combine palm sugar, fish sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, and Cheongyang gochugaru. Add the seeds from a pomegranate and mix to create a unique, tangy special seasoning paste.
- Place the seasoning paste in the center of the pot over the kimchi. Pour in 600ml of water and add 2 red snow crab consommé cubes to boost the umami. Bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the deep flavors from the sausage and vegetables to infuse into the broth.
- When the broth has a rich flavor, add 2 tablespoons of baked beans and 2 slices of cheddar cheese in the center to add creaminess.
- Finally, add the ramen noodles and cook for another few minutes until the noodles are done to perfection.
- Arrange prepared cabbage, onion, green onion, baby corn, and rice cakes in a pot. Add sliced chorizo and aged kimchi.
- Mix sugar, fish sauce, soy sauce, garlic, and gochugaru with pomegranate seeds to make a seasoning paste.
- Add seasoning paste, water, and 2 red snow crab consommé cubes to the pot and boil for 10 minutes.
- Add baked beans, 2 slices of cheddar cheese, and ramen noodles, then boil until noodles are cooked to finish.
Cooking tips 💡
- Chorizo has a strong spicy and salty flavor that adds a deep Western-style umami when simmered in broth. You can substitute with pepperoni or salami.
- The pomegranate seeds in the seasoning paste provide a smooth acidity that cleanses the palate, preventing the budae jjigae from being too heavy. Enjoy the crunchy texture of the seeds as you chew them with the broth.
