Mix gochojang, gochugaru, soy sauce, and fish sauce (or anchovy sauce) in equal parts—1:1:1:1—and add sugar 1 tablespoon to make the seasoning paste.
Cut green onions into large pieces about 4–5 cm long. Thinly slice the onion and spread evenly across the bottom of a stew pot.
Mince 15 garlic cloves finely and add them directly into the pot to enhance the stew’s fresh, deep flavor.
Cut the prepared German sausages into bite-sized pieces and arrange them around the pot in a circular pattern. For softer sausages like Mettwurst, tear them apart by hand to use as a flavorful base that releases meat fat and juices into the broth.
Place canned kimchi and 2 tablespoons of baked beans in the center of the pot. Add 2 tablespoons of the prepared seasoning paste and top with 2 slices of cheddar cheese.
Pour in water until the ingredients are well covered. Add ramen noodles, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium heat and simmer for about 20 minutes until the stew is rich and thick.
Combine gochojang, gochugaru, soy sauce, and anchovy sauce in equal amounts, add sugar to create the budae jjigae seasoning paste.

Cooking tips 💡
Tear soft, ground-meat-style sausages like Mettwurst by hand before adding—they release rich meat fat and juices into the broth, perfectly replacing spam or ground pork.
You don’t need all eight types of German sausages; using just 3–4 different varieties from regular store-bought options with distinct textures and flavors yields excellent results.
Weißwurst (a traditional Bavarian sausage) has a unique aroma that may clash slightly with the broth, so consider focusing on smoked sausages or Frankfurters based on personal preference.
Adjust saltiness during cooking to taste. If the broth reduces too much, add water gradually or more seasoning paste to suit your palate.
