Army stew

The Korean Ramen craze hit the Maldives somewhere in 2019. I couldn't handle the spicy heat from some of the packets but I love to watch the recipes showcased in  Wife's Cuisine on youtube and of course, Maangchi both of them showcase a lot of Korean recipes.
  One recipe I came across was Army stew. Army stew is a  more of a stew pot, where literally everything goes in, there is sausage, luncheon meat, ground beef, baked beans etc, finishing off with a slice of cheese. So I dug a little to discover that this is more of a fusion stew, a dish born after the Korean War. With limited food supply, the Koreans used some of the processed food they found from the US Military bases in Korea.
I used the yellow pack of Ramen which said cheese, but I didn't use the cheese mix found in it.

 I used a  slice of cheese. I added some cabbage as I have seen in another recipe, didn't use too much-processed meat only stuck to sausage and didn't use any beef as I didn't have any. I had a mini can of baked beans if you have a regular can use half of the can and store the rest in a clean glass bottle for another day.

I used the chilli paste found in the packet and mixed it with some minced garlic as I have seen on YouTube.
