Start with an instant ramen base, and then you can add any combination of the following, and I swear I’m not making this up: American cheese, mozzarella, kimchi, ham, Spam, hot dog slices, baked beans, mushrooms, green onions, onions, garlic, bacon, tofu, sliced peppers, rice cakes, macaroni noodles, eggs, cabbage, bean sprouts, gochujang, and, at this rate, you can probably throw an entire fighter jet in there too.

That looks wonderful. Hope it’s Korean-spicy!
My wife is Korean and has made this for me. Her version looked a ton better than the one in the picture.
Hi.
Have some Budae jjigae, and top it off with a good portion of kimchee, mix with a six pack of Kkrin and you will light up the bed covers at night.

Reminds me of the late Pat Mcmanus’ “Whatcha Got Hunters Stew’ from one of his stories.
“What’s for dinner?”
“Well, whatcha got?”
Looks like this stuff can give you an industrial-strength case of indigestion. Not to mention a case of the farts that would kill small animals.
Smells like Team Spirit!
Sometimes (always) when the Army would deploy to field positions (tents) in the old days for training exercises, like the annual Team Spirit Exercise, local vendors would set up nearby and sell snacks and hot ramen noodles. The ramen could be enhanced with some supplements, like cheese, or some kind of meat. Cheese was more of an American thing.
Those were individual servings for the GIs, but maybe the locals preferred to make communal pots of such jigae to share among themselves.
I think of it as upgrading your ramen noodles, like making chili mac, instead of straight mac and cheese.
