Creating Korean Army Stew is a simple process if you follow these easy steps:

1. Heat Oil: In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.

3. Add Kimchi: Stir in the chopped kimchi and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to release its flavors.
4. Incorporate Meats: Add the sliced spam and hot dogs to the pot, stirring well to combine. Cook for about 5 minutes until the meat begins to brown slightly.
5. Add Mushrooms and Tofu: Toss in the sliced mushrooms and cubed tofu, cooking for another 3-4 minutes.
6. Mix Broth: In a separate bowl, combine gochujang, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Add this mixture to the pot along with the chicken or vegetable broth.
7. Bring to a Boil: Increase the heat to high and bring the stew to a boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes.
8. Add Noodles: After simmering, add the instant ramen noodles to the pot. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.
9. Serve: Remove the pot from heat. Garnish the stew with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
