Main Ingredients- Soy Jjajang Sauce 180g
- Fresh Jjajang Noodles 150g
- 1/2 Onion
- 1 Hard-boiled Egg
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the soy bean Jjajang sauce. It’s always a good idea to check the package instructions for specific details.
Step 2
Place the soy bean Jjajang sauce in boiling water and heat for about 8 minutes. To prevent splattering, use medium heat rather than high heat, allowing the sauce to warm through gently and preserve its flavor.
Step 3
Chop the onion into large, bite-sized cubes. Feel free to adjust the size and quantity according to your personal preference. Larger chunks offer a more satisfying bite.
Step 4
Lightly sauté the chopped onion in a pan until it becomes translucent. Sautéing gently over medium-low heat will bring out the natural sweetness of the onions.
Step 5
Combine the sautéed onions with the warmed Jjajang sauce in a pot or pan. Stir occasionally and simmer over medium-low heat for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Step 6
Now, get ready to cook the noodles. Prepare the fresh Jjajang noodles separately.
Step 7
In a generous pot of boiling water, cook 1-2 portions of the fresh Jjajang noodles. Stir occasionally to prevent the noodles from sticking together.
Step 8
While the noodles are cooking, gently lift and lower them in the water, allowing them to aerate. This technique helps to develop the chewy texture of the noodles.
Step 9
Once the noodles are cooked, drain them and immediately rinse under cold running water. Rinsing in cold water makes the noodles firmer and delightfully chewy.
Step 10
Drain the noodles thoroughly and quickly stir-fry them with the Jjajang sauce over high heat. Toss for about 1-2 minutes until the noodles and sauce are well combined.
Step 11
Finally, garnish your Jjajangmyeon with a halved hard-boiled egg. Your delicious Soy Bean Jjajangmyeon is now ready to enjoy!
