Are you still in Dallas? Hit up Joy Kitchen off N Plano Road for awesome spicy beef bulgogi or Chicken & Potato Stew. Kings Noodles off Polk St in Richardson makes the best Taiwanese Beef Dry Noodle anywhere. Boba Latte across the street is awesome as well for dessert. Kens Japanese Bistro and Ma Ru Ramen both make a legit bowl of ramen. La Me makes the best Pho Bo Vien anywhere. Bistro B is fun just because the lights and decor is ever evolving. If you know where I can get some really great Chicken in Onion Sauce (Chinese) Id love to know. I miss it so much since Sing Kee closed a couple years ago. Also, long shot, but Id kill for a Merguez Sandwich with harrisa in Dallas.

Great story. I can totally figure Spam (same deal with Hawaii and WWII) because of Koreans' love of pork and its frequent appearance in the cuisine. But I never figured hotdogs would be accepted. I guess if you're pressed for calories (the fat in hotdogs makes them quite calorie-dense, you'll go for anything. Spam in ramen noodles with kimchee sounds really good! I could totally see that in Korean BBQ and/or hotpot. I guess even hotdogs would work in hotpot but I would rather thin-cut beef and real sausage.

after immigrating to the US in the early 80s, my mother used to refuse to let us have budaejjigae growing up. it reminded her of the harsh times for her growing up during the post war times. it was only when i got old enough to drive myself around i got to explore food on my own and rediscover the joy of budaejjigae. she only told me recently now as an adult why she refused to let us eat it, she wanted better for the family.

I absoutely love korean food and have made this dish myself many winters, but does anyone notice he has to say korean before any ingredient, korean instant ramen noodles, isn't it just easier to say instant ramen/noodles, does he has to add korean to every single item, it's already a korean food series, we get it: )

It's fascinating because my mom refuses to eat this dish as it was a reminder of it being trash food from the US army while the Korean American in me appreciates the mix of flavors and cultures that it represents. Guess it aptly reflects that duality that so many of us as Korean Americans deal with growing up.

dude, the US army was not throwing them away. that would be un-American. it was the general staff in Korea saw the hunger and quietly give or sell for cheap canned goods so the koreans can eat. it was what the US armed forces did after world war 2 and every war after including Afghanistan.

I remember seeing a recipe here on youtube for this years ago, and it's become a staple during christmas when everyone in the family is tired of typical Swedish food, usually on an off day when we're all a bit hungover. The ground beef is something I will have to try tho!

Fighting the Korean War Was one of America's best efforts in the defense of Freedom. I developed a taste for Kimchee while flying a helicopter off a Korean Tuna Boat. And a couple of months ago I bought a Korean car, used, 2001 sonata v-6, I like it a lot.
