Combine all sauce ingredients in a small bowl.

Assemble the spam, tofu, mushrooms, sausages, rice cakes, onion, and kimchi in a shallow pot. Add the sauce and chicken broth, cover, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

When the stew starts to boil, reduce the heat to medium and cook for about 5 minutes. Add the noodles and cheese, and boil for another 3-4 minutes until the noodles are cooked through.

Garnish with green onion and serve with a bowl of steamed rice. Enjoy!
