Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    I have been so intrigued by this recipe for long, so since it's my birthday weekend, I finally decided I had to make it (despite the BF's protests about having to eat spam). I didn't have large dried anchovies, I had tiny ones I found at a Korean market, so I used a few extras in my stock. I also didn't have kombu and substituted nori with seemingly no ill effect. I pan-fried the spam and hot dogs before mixing in the other ingredients to give them a bit more umami flavor. I also didn't add an extra 1.5c of water to the soup because it seemed to have enough liquid to me. Otherwise, followed the recipe as written. Folks, this is good. Really good. The flavors really do blend together perfectly. The resulting stew is super-spicy, fatty, umami-rich--basically, perfect drinking food. The only thing I'd do differently next time would be to add an extra package of ramen noodles--we would have liked more. Yum. So glad I took the plunge and tried this awesome fusion dish!
