RECIPE INSTRUCTION
In a large wide and shallow pot, add all the meat, kimchi, onions, beans, and tteok/Korean rice cakes, into 3 sections, around the rim of the pot. Then in the center of the pot, add the GoChuJang, honey, miso paste, and minced garlic. (OR 1Tbsp Spicy Pepper Marinade Sauce, as shown in BulDak Spicy Fire Chicken With Cheese Video. Please see the video listed above. 1 Tbsp is for Standard/Moderate Spicy Taste. For Very Spicy, add 2 Tbsp. For Extra Extra Spicy, add 3 Tbsp. Add more broth to adjust the saltiness to your preference.)
Then slowly add your heated broth (do not add cold broth) in the center of the pot, mixing the GoChuJang, honey, and miso gently. Pour the kimchi juice to the broth. Turn on your portable stove to high heat or on your stove. Cover the pot with the lid and let it cook for 5 minutes.
Five minutes later, remove the lid and scoop up the 'pepper foam' floating on top, as shown in the video. Using a ladle, generously coat the ingredients around the rim with the broth. Break the instant ramen noodles into half. Then add the noodles (OR Pre-soaked Sweet Potato Starch Noodles/DangMyeon) in the center of the pot. Gently press down to submerge the noodles and coat with the broth. Cover with lid and cook for 2 minutes on high heat.
Uncover the lid, and gently move the noodles around to mix well in the broth. Turn down the heat to medium. (At this point, the noodles are not cooked all the way, which is what we want. Cooking the noodles all the way will ensure that it will get completed bloated and soak up all the delicious broth super fast). Add the corn, sweet peas, and scallions on the sides of the noodles. Generously coat the vegetables with the broth. Turn off the heat in 60 seconds. Garnish with a sprinkle of roasted sesame seeds on top of the noodles.
Remember, the cooked ramen and sweet potato starch noodles will soak up all the delicious broth quickly. So if you plan on having this meal slowly or wait for your late guests, transfer the cooked noodles to a plate and enjoy them as a side dish. If you let the cooked noodles sit in the pot for too long, it will overcook and get completely bloated.
Highly highly recommend having this Army Base Stew with Korean rice. This stew is meant to be on the saltier side so it will complement well with Korean rice.
Bon appetit...:-)
