In all seriousness, it's a [[Tau|Korean]] stew called [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budae-jjigae''Budae-jjigae.''] Deliciously spicy and easy as all hell to make and customize. Serves 4 and should only take around half an hour to make at the most.

'''Stuff You Need:'''
* 4 cups of chicken stock (doesn't have to be fancy; use the cheapest stock you can find)
* 200 grams of Spam, thinly sliced (common around the US military bases at the time)
* 4 cocktail sausages, thinly and diagonally sliced
* 250 grams of tofu, sliced into 1/2 inch thick pieces
* 200 grams of enoki mushrooms, base stem removed and stems separated
* 200 grams of king oyster mushrooms, thinly sliced lengthways
* 100 grams of shiitake mushroom caps, thinly sliced
* 1/2 cup ripened red (''Baechu'') kimchi (preferably the traditional cabbage kimchi, but radish kimchi works fine too as long as it's the spicy red kind)
* 110 grams of instant ramen noodles (about a pack and a half, or 4 oz. for those suffering from freedom units)
* 50 grams of Korean rice cakes (make sure it's not the dessert kind but the kind meant for soup. If it's frozen then soak in cold water for 15 minutes to thaw)
* 30 grams of green onion, thinly and diagonally sliced
* 2 slices of (preferably American) [[Cheese|cheese]]
* 2 tablespoons of Korean chili flakes (''Gochugaru'')
* 2 tablespoons of rice wine (mirin)
* 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
* 1 tablespoon of minced garlic
* 1/2 tablespoon of white sugar
* 1/2 tablespoon of Korean chili paste (''Gochujang'')
* ground black pepper to taste

'''Cooking this stuff:'''
* Mix the chili flakes, rice wine, soy sauce, garlic, sugar, chili paste, and black pepper in a small bowl. This'll be the sauce of the stew.
* Throw most of the dry ingredients (except for the ramen noodles, rice cakes, green onions and cheese) into a shallow pot, and add the sauce you made to the middle.
* Pour in the chicken stock from the edge of the pot.
* Put a lid on top and boil on medium-high heat for about 8 minutes.
* Add the remaining ingredients (noodles, rice cakes, green onions and cheese) on top of the pot and boil uncovered until the noodles are cooked (about 2-3 minutes).
* If you're cooking on a portable burner at the kitchen table/campsite (which you really should be), reduce the heat to low after the noodles are done.

'''Eating this stuff:'''
* Scoop freshly-cooked white rice into individual soup bowls if you've got some, and be sure to leave room in the bowl to pour your stew into. Garnish the rice with black sesame seeds if you're an aristocrat.
* Eat the noodles first because they soak up a lot of liquid pretty quickly; you'll want to enjoy them when they're still ''al dente'' and not when they're [[Nurgle|disgustingly floppy and falling apart]].
* This stew is a gift that keeps on giving: Feel free to leave it simmering on low heat and top it off with more stock as it boils down (this is where using a portable burner comes in handy).

'''Protips'''
* When handling the spicy ingredients (kimchi, chili flakes/paste), don't be a dumbass and touch anything that doesn't respond well to capsaicin (eyes, asscrack, dick, etc.)... [[Slaanesh|at least not before washing your hands]].
* If you're actually good at cooking you can try making your own chicken stock from scratch, but in my opinion it's really not worth it given how many other flavors will be in the stew. This is meant to be cheap as balls and trying to fancify it goes against the point of the dish.
* You can substitute beef stock for the chicken stock (although why would you?). However, beef stock is quite a bit salty for this stew and so you should dilute it somewhat with water (1 cup of water for 1 cup of beef stock).
* In all honesty, you can customize this dish a lot. Don't like mushrooms? Substitute peppers instead. Add udon noodles if you prefer that to ramen noodles. Add more cheese if you want to, or leave it off altogether. It's your stew, do whatever the fuck you want with it.
