Ingredients
- 1 packet Jjajang powder mix

- 2 cups water
- Cooked rice
- Cooking oil, as needed
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
We’ll make a delicious and satisfying Jjajang Deopbap today, perfect for a quick and hearty meal.
Step 2
First, dice all your vegetables (onion, zucchini, king oyster mushroom) and meat into bite-sized cubes, about 1-1.5 cm. This size prevents them from becoming mushy when cooked. Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the diced meat and stir-fry until it’s partially cooked. Then, add the chopped onion and continue to sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent. Once the onion is semi-transparent, add the remaining vegetables (zucchini and king oyster mushroom) and stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes. Pour in 2 cups (approximately 400ml) of water.
Step 3
Once the water comes to a boil, add the 1 packet of Jjajang powder mix. It’s crucial to stir continuously with a whisk or spatula to ensure the powder dissolves smoothly without any lumps. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency. Your delicious Jjajang sauce is now ready!
Step 4
Finally, spoon the prepared Jjajang sauce generously over a bowl of warm, cooked rice. Your Jjajang Deopbap is complete! For an enhanced experience, you can top it with a fried egg, peas, or shredded cucumber. Enjoy your meal!
