Main Ingredients- 1 packet Jjajang powder mix (approx. 100g)

- 100g Pork (or your preferred protein)
- 1 King Oyster Mushroom
- 2 cups Water (approx. 400ml)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
This Jjajangmyeon recipe is incredibly simple yet tastes absolutely fantastic! It’s so delicious that even with just a side of kimchi, you’ll finish a whole bowl of rice. It’s especially perfect for beginner cooks or those living alone.
Step 2
First, let’s prepare the vegetables and protein that will add rich flavor to the Jjajang sauce. Dice the onion, zucchini, and king oyster mushroom into bite-sized pieces (about 1-1.5 cm cubes). Dice the pork similarly. Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Stir-fry the pork until it’s no longer pink, then add the diced onion, zucchini, and king oyster mushroom. Sauté everything together until the onions become translucent. Once the onions start to soften, pour in 2 cups (400ml) of water. It’s best to maintain medium heat while sautéing to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
Step 3
Now, it’s time to make the delicious Jjajang sauce. Add the entire packet of Jjajang powder mix to the boiling water. Modern Jjajang powder mixes are designed to dissolve easily, but to ensure a smooth sauce without lumps, it’s crucial to stir continuously with a whisk or spatula. Keep stirring to prevent the sauce from sticking to the bottom of the pan, and let it simmer over medium-low heat for about 3-5 minutes until it thickens. You can adjust the consistency by adding a little more water or simmering it down further to your preference.
Step 4
Pour the freshly made, delicious Jjajang sauce generously over a bowl of warm rice. For an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal, you can garnish it with a boiled egg, julienned cucumber, or peas. Mix everything together with your spoon and enjoy! A simple yet impressive meal is now ready.
