@ahnestkitchen: Fun fact: Korea is the largest consumer of Spam outside of the United States. Just like the characters in Pachinko Season 2 who turn challenges into strength, Koreans have long transformed hardship into something better, like turning Spam into a cherished ingredient. Deemed as just “canned meat” to some, Spam is more than that to Koreans. It was once considered a luxury. Today, it’s a cherished ingredient, symbolizing how Koreans have always found ways to transform hardship into something better. #Pachinko Season 2 Finale out now. #AppleTVPlusPartner Ingredients: 12 oz (340g) beef franks, sliced ⅜-inch thick 6 oz (170g) Spam, sliced ½-inch thick 1½ Tbsp (21g) butter 8 oz (227g) skinless pork belly, cut into small pieces 1½ lb (680g) well-fermented cabbage kimchi 3 cups water 6 Tbsp kimchi juice 2½ tsp fish sauce 2½ tsp sugar, plus more for seasoning 2 tsp Dasida beef stock powder Optional: firm tofu and green onion Instructions: 1. Bring 6 cups water to a boil in a large pot and submerge beef franks and Spam for 1 minute. Drain and rinse pot. Set aside beef franks. 2. Cook Spam in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until golden brown and crisp, about 5 minutes per side. Turn off heat and snip Spam into bite-size pieces. Set aside Spam. 3. Melt butter in now-empty pot over medium-high heat. Add pork belly and mix to coat pork with butter. Cook until pork is 80% cooked, about 1 minute. Add kimchi and mix to coat with butter and pork fat. Mix occasionally so the flavors of kimchi and pork cook together, about 5 minutes. 4. Increase heat to high and add water, kimchi juice, fish sauce, sugar, and Dasida. Cover and let it come to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium and cook until kimchi becomes wilted and translucent, about 7 minutes, covered. Add beef franks and Spam, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to a simmer until stew is flavored with Spam and beef franks, about 5 minutes (add sliced tofu and green onion if you wish). Add more sugar to taste and enjoy. @Apple TV #kimchi #koreanmom #spam #koreanfood

It’s crazy how we’re all connected by spam and the militarization of where we’re from. I was born in Okinawa we eat spam live in Hawaii we also eat spam 😭

I am a Latina woman and I too grew up eating spam a lot. When we didn’t have extra money to buy reg meat my mom would add spam to rice, eggs anything she could think of ☺️. Now I still use it

Thank you for the education! I didn’t know this. I gave spam an honest try years ago whilst in Hawaii. It’s really liked it. Salty, flavorful porky goodness, how could that be bad? 😋
