Instructions
-
Prepare the brothIn a large pot, combine beef broth, gochujang, gochugaru, soy sauce, minced garlic, and sugar. Stir well to dissolve the gochujang and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
-
Arrange ingredientsIn a shallow, wide pot or a large deep skillet (preferably with a lid), arrange the Spam, hot dogs, kimchi, rice cakes, mushrooms, and baked beans in sections around the perimeter of the pot.
-
Add the brothCarefully pour the prepared broth into the center of the pot, allowing it to flow between the arranged ingredients. The broth should come about halfway up the ingredients.
-
Simmer the stewCover the pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for about 10 minutes or until the ingredients are heated through and flavors have melded.
-
Add the noodlesPlace the ramen noodles in the center of the pot, pressing them gently into the broth. Cover and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the noodles are soft but still have a slight bite.
-
Add cheese and garnishPlace slices of American cheese on top of the stew and sprinkle with sliced green onions. Cover for about 1 minute until the cheese begins to melt.
-
Serve hotBring the entire pot to the table and serve directly from the pot. Provide individual bowls for serving, ensuring each portion has a variety of the ingredients and plenty of the spicy broth.
