Budae-Jjigae as Cooked in In the SOOP
By Kimchee Curator
Spam, sausage, kimchi, a red pot — army-base stew you can cook, then the In the SOOP cite.
TL;DR
In the SOOP S1 Ep.2: J-Hope, Suga, Jin cook budae-jjigae (Yummy.ph recap of official series). Also in the 2022 licensed recipe book. This is the pot. Jjapaguri from S1 Ep.1 is a sister note — Chapagetti plus Neoguri plus steak, same show.
Spam, sausage, kimchi, a red pot. That is budae-jjigae. Use aged kimchi and /recipes/kimchi-jjigae-restaurant-style/ as the sour backbone, then add the army-base pantry: spam, sausage, baked beans if you want them, a ramen nest last so it does not melt.
Reported in In the SOOP Season 1 episode 2: J-Hope, Suga, and Jin cook it. Yummy.ph recapped the official series with a dish list. The 2022 BTS Recipe Book also names budae-jjigae (Yonhap, 28 July 2022; Lifestyle Asia). Two sourced handles. One stew. We do not quote the book’s recipe text.
Episode 1 of the same season is jjapaguri with steak — Jungkook on the noodles, Suga on the grill. That is the Parasite cousin. One sentence and a link to Korean Bapsang. The cookable kimchi-rice sibling is https://bokki.ai/blog/bts-recipe-book-kimchi-bokkeumbap/. The four-show map is /blog/from-screen-to-table-bon-appetit-woo-squid-parasite/.
