The flavor of this tomato sauce in a can is incredible. Both pizza sauce and spaghetti sauce can be made with it. It freezes wonderfully, too.

Ingredients
- 1 (12 ounce) can fully cooked luncheon meat (such as SPAM®), sliced
- 14 ounces smoked sausage (such as Eckrich®), sliced
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 6 ounces kimchi
- ¼ cup Korean red pepper powder
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste)
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pinch ground black pepper
- 1 bunch green onions, chopped
- 2 (32 ounce) containers chicken broth
- 7 ¾ ounces ramen noodles (such as Ottogi Ramyonsari®)
- 1 slice American cheese (Optional)
Instructions
- Divide luncheon meat into 2 piles on either side of a stock pot. Layer sausage, onion, and kimchi on top, leaving an empty space in the center of the pot.
- Mix red pepper powder, soy sauce, gochujang, garlic, and black pepper together in a small bowl; pour into the center of the pot. Sprinkle in green onion. Pour in chicken broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer stew, stirring occasionally, until flavors combine, about 10 minutes.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil; add ramen noodles. Cook and stir until partially cooked and softened, about 2 minutes. Drain; stir into stew. Cook and stir until ramen noodles are tender but firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Top stew with American cheese.
- Anchovy broth can be substituted for the chicken broth if desired.

Thank you so much for sharing your recipe!
I really like this recipe! It was rich and mildly spicy. I could not find the Korean red pepper powder or the red chili paste so I substituted Cayenne pepper and Indonesian Sambal sauce so mine wasn’t authentic but it was good. I used three different types of leftover sausage that I had in the fridge and that was kind of useful. Next time I may add more kimchi and cube the Spam before putting it in the pot. Prep was fast, fun dish! A year later: I have made this dish a couple more times with Gochujang red pepper paste and with more kimchi and both added to the flavor of the dish. I also cube the spam smaller and that is cool too. Just about any ramen noodle works well. Love this recipe!
Awesome flavor… Had to cut the spicy ingredients to a third though.
This is a great BASE recipe. I actually changed it bit b/c people said it was bland (I also live close to Korea so…) #1 I used beef broth NOT chicken (has no flavor) #2 I added fresh tomato and more garlic to get that nummy soup flavor #3 I used a sweet Taiwan Style sausage to compliment the spicy of the Kimchi These additions changed the flavor A LOT. I also added a bit more Gochujang and Korean pepper powder. And, lets be real, I used the noodles from Cup O Noodles.
It was alright. Had to use some Dasida (MSG) to make it a bit better along with the chicken stock.
Great for easy Korea dinner!
