Inspired by my buddy Mike's son, who had made a ramyeon bowl for his dad, I decided to go whole-hog and make some vulgar budae-jjigae. The main stew came from a Johnsonville(!) package of assembly-line budae. I bought extra spam and hot dogs and tofu, though, and while I had told my buddy Mike (who lives in Fredericksburg, Virginia) that I'd stick in some edamame pasta, I ended up just using the veggie tofu (the white disks you see below). Click on any photo to see it more clearly. The lower image quality you're seeing right now is because this image is just a thumbnail, a rough facsimile of the original.
Before I fired up the burner:
 |
| See the frozen hunk of meats in the middle? Took almost ten minutes at full boil to thaw that. (Kimchi not visible.) |
After ten or twelve minutes:
 |
| We want our meat nice and relaxed. (See the kimchi now?) |
Into a bowl:
 |
| up close and personal |
I ended up having enough for both lunch and dinner (these days, I normally eat only one full meal a day). Plenty of protein for a growing boy with heart failure.
