Uijeongbu Budaejjigae Street (의정부 부대찌개거리)

14.4Km 2023-10-27

7, Hoguk-ro 1309beon-gil, Uijeongbu-si, Gyeonggi-do

The word “budaejjigae” has two parts: “budae”, or military unit, and “jjigae,” a dish made by boiling ingredients and stock in a pot. It originates from the post-Korean War period, where processed meat from US Army bases was made into a jjigae with vegetables, glass noodles, ramyeon, and the like. While the exact origin of the dish is difficult to establish, a strong tradition of sausage jjigae was established in Uijeongbu, thanks to its proximity to US Army bases. These geographical characteristics created today’s Uijeongbu Budaejjigae Street. Starting with Odeng Sikdang, the origin of the street, restaurants specializing in sausage jjigae entered the area, creating a specialized street and a landmark of Uijeongbu.
