Budae-jjigae () is a type of spicy jjigae (Korean stew) from South Korea that is made with a variety of ingredients, often canned or processed. Common ingredients include ham, sausage, SPAM, baked beans, kimchi, instant noodles, gochujang, and American cheese. The dish is now a popular anju (accompaniment to alcoholic drinks) and a comfort food cooked in a large pot for multiple people. It also goes by the English names army stew, army base stew, and spicy sausage stew.
The dish has its origins in a predecessor often called kkulkkuri-juk () that was created around the time of the Korean War, when South Korea was experiencing significant poverty. A prominent ingredient of the dish, SPAM, was only made legally available for sale in 1987, around the time that South Korea democratized.
