Main Ingredients
- 1 packet Jjajangmyeon (instant black bean noodles)
- 1 slice Cheddar cheese
- 300ml Water (use 350ml for a slightly softer consistency)
Crispy & Savory Fried Egg
- 1 Egg
- 2 Tbsp Cooking oil
- 1 Egg
- 2 Tbsp Cooking oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, gather all your ingredients for Jjagyachi. Unlike the standard Jjajangmyeon recipe, we’ll be using only about 300ml of water to create a richer, thicker sauce. If you prefer a slightly more liquid consistency, feel free to increase the water to 350ml. Start by bringing the 300ml of water to a boil in a pot.
Step 2
While the water is boiling, let’s prepare the perfect fried egg that will add a wonderful dimension to your Jjagyachi. Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Carefully crack the egg into the pan. The key here is to keep the yolk intact for a beautiful runny center! Cook gently over medium-low heat until the edges of the egg white are golden brown and slightly crispy. A slightly crispy yet tender egg is crucial for complementing the noodles and sauce.
Step 3
Once the water is boiling rapidly, add the Jjajangmyeon noodles. Gently loosen the noodles as they cook to prevent them from sticking together.
Step 4
Along with the noodles, add the dried vegetable mix that comes in the Jjajangmyeon packet. This will add extra texture and flavor to your dish.
Step 5
When the noodles are perfectly ‘al dente’ (chewy and firm), add the Jjajangmyeon powder soup base and mix quickly. It’s best to cook over high heat at this stage to prevent the noodles from becoming mushy. Stir well to ensure the powder coats every strand of noodle evenly.
Step 6
Once the Jjajangmyeon is cooked, transfer it to a serving bowl. Drizzle the aromatic oil packet (olive-based seasoning oil) over the noodles. This will enhance the overall fragrance and depth of flavor.
Step 7
Now for the star of Jjagyachi! Carefully place the slice of cheddar cheese on top of the noodles. As the cheese melts, it will create a creamy, luscious sauce that binds everything together.
Step 8
Finally, gently place your perfectly fried egg on top of the melted cheese. Your delicious Jjagyachi is now complete! Mix everything together while it’s warm to enjoy the incredible harmony of the thick black bean sauce, gooey melted cheese, and the rich fried egg. Enjoy your masterpiece!
