How to Make Fire Noodle Jjajangmyeon: Elevate Your Instant Noodles to Delicious New Heights!
Discover how to make your instant jjajangmyeon (black bean noodles) even more delicious with this simple yet flavorful recipe.
Ingredients- 1 pack Jjajangmyeon (Korean black bean noodles)
- 1 Tbsp Fire Noodle Sauce (adjust to your spice preference)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 slice Cheddar Cheese
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare a perfectly sunny-side-up egg with a runny yolk, as this will be a key component of our delicious topping. Lightly oil a pan, crack the egg in, and cook until the whites are set and the yolk is still beautifully liquid. The joy of breaking the yolk and mixing it in is part of the experience!
Step 2
Let’s start cooking the jjajangmyeon! Bring an appropriate amount of water to a boil in a pot. Add the vegetable packet that comes with your jjajangmyeon and let it boil. This step adds a deeper flavor to the broth.
Step 3
Once the water is boiling, add the noodles and cook them until al dente. When the noodles are done, don’t drain all the water; reserve about one cup. Drain the rest of the water and then add the jjajang sauce powder. Mix it well with the noodles.
Step 4
Now, it’s time to add the special kick! While mixing the jjajang sauce with the noodles, stir in 1 tablespoon of the fire noodle sauce. This spicy kick will elevate the jjajangmyeon’s flavor profile. Feel free to add a bit more if you enjoy extra heat.
Step 5
After thoroughly mixing the jjajang and fire noodle sauces, add the included olive oil packet (or a little of the reserved noodle water) and mix everything together once more. This will give the noodles a lovely sheen and a smoother texture.
Step 6
Transfer the well-mixed jjajangmyeon, now transformed into a flavorful dish, into a serving bowl.
Step 7
Place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of the noodles. As it begins to melt, its rich, savory aroma will be irresistible.
Step 8
Finally, gently place the sunny-side-up egg, prepared earlier, right in the center of the bowl to complete the dish.
Step 9
It’s time to enjoy! For the best experience, break the egg yolk and mix everything together, including the melting cheese, with the noodles. This ‘Fire Noodle Jjajangmyeon’ combines the exhilarating spice of the fire noodle sauce with the savory depth of jjajang, complemented by creamy cheese and egg – a truly fantastic combination. Enjoy your delicious meal!
