My readers requested this recipe so many times that I became a budae-jjigae expert, reluctantly. Now I love it: it's hot, spicy, savory, salty, meaty, and most of all, it's so enticing to eat when it's bogeul-bogeul boiling with all your friends and family together around the table.

This is one of my all time favorite soups, probably because I like things with a lot of stuff on/in them. It says the rice cakes are optional, but I feel like they’re a must. Additionally, I’d highly recommend adding ramen noodles in addition to the glass noodles and rice cakes.
