Recipe Instructions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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 to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until flavors combine, about 10 minutes.
Step 3
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add ramen noodles. Cook, stirring until partially cooked and softened, about 2 minutes. Drain, and transfer to the pot with meat-kimchi mixture. Cook, stirring until ramen noodles are tender but firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Top stew with American cheese.
