Looking for a good army stew (budae jjigae) recipe for kids?

So one of my students brought this up when we were talking about food during lunch duty (yes, teachers eat lunch standing up watching 15-year-olds, it's a whole thing), and now I can't stop thinking about army stew. From what I've read it's got spam and hot dogs in it which honestly sounds like a genius way to get my kids to eat something with kimchi in it! Problem is every recipe I find online looks pretty spicy and I'm trying to figure out how to tone down the gochujang/gochugaru without losing whatever makes it actually taste like the real thing. Anyone made a milder version that still holds up? Also curious if this freezes well since I basically only cook in bulk these days, three kids will do that to you!

For milder version I add a little sugar and just less gochugaru, more broth so it's not too spicy but still tasty, my kids love it that way. I always cook big batch too because of my shifts, but honestly I haven't tried freezing it yet since we usually finish it fast, hehe. Thank you for sharing this, now I'm craving budae jjigae for dinner!

Spam với xúc xích ở Hà Nội mua siêu thị cũng có, không mắc lắm, kim chi thì nấu chín lên bớt cay hẳn. Món này nấu nồi lớn rồi đông đá được, em toàn làm vậy bán quán, rã đông hâm lại vẫn ngon.
