📝 Ingredients

For the noodles

  • 300g fresh Korean wheat noodles (or udon)
  • Water for boiling

For the black bean sauce

  • 200g pork belly or chicken (diced)
  • 3 tbsp chunjang (Korean black bean paste)
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1 onion (diced)
  • 1 potato (diced)

🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the noodles

Boil noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

4. Add vegetables

Mix in onions, potatoes, zucchini, cabbage, and garlic. Cook until they soften.

5. Add water

Pour in water or broth and simmer for 10 minutes.

6. Thicken the sauce

Add the cornstarch slurry and cook until the sauce becomes thick and glossy.

7. Season

Add sugar, black pepper, and salt to taste.

8. Serve

Pour the black bean sauce over the cooked noodles.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

  • Top with julienned cucumber for freshness.

  • Serve with kimchi, pickled radish (danmuji), or Korean cucumber salad.
  • Drizzle a little sesame oil for extra flavor.
  • Pair with Korean dumplings (mandu).

❓ FAQs

1. Can I make Jajangmyeon vegetarian?

Yes! Replace meat with tofu or mushrooms. Vegetable stock works perfectly.

2. Can I use regular noodles?

Yes, udon or thick wheat noodles make a great substitute.

3. How do I reduce the bitterness?

Frying the chunjang paste in oil is essential—it makes the sauce smooth and deep.

4. Can I freeze the sauce?

Yes, Jajangmyeon sauce freezes very well for up to 2 months.

5. Can I use chicken instead of pork?

Absolutely. Chicken thigh works best for flavor.
