How to Make Jjajangmyeon Delicious: The Ultimate ‘Jjajangmyeon with Cheese & Egg’ Recipe
Introducing a magical twist on Jjajangmyeon that even my kids adore! This ‘Jjajangmyeon with Cheese & Egg’ recipe is simple yet incredibly special, guaranteed to make you forget ordinary Jjajangmyeon. Get ready for an unforgettable meal!
Key Ingredients- 1 pack Jjajangmyeon (Korean black bean noodles)
- 1 slice Processed Cheese (e.g., Cheddar)
- 1 fresh Egg
- 5-6 pieces Frozen Dumplings (your favorite kind)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare a perfectly soft-boiled fried egg. Heat a little oil in a non-stick pan over low heat. Carefully fry the egg, ensuring it doesn’t burn, so the yolk remains runny. This will add richness later.
Step 2
To achieve a crispy texture for the dumplings, place them in a resealable plastic bag. Add a very small amount of cooking oil. Seal the bag tightly and shake vigorously to coat each dumpling evenly with oil. This prevents sticking and ensures crispiness.
Step 3
Place the oiled dumplings into an air fryer set at 200°C (392°F) and cook for about 5 to 6 minutes. Check them halfway through to ensure they are golden brown and crispy. These will serve as a fantastic side dish.
Step 4
Now, let’s cook the Jjajangmyeon. Bring water to a rolling boil in a pot. Once boiling, add the Jjajangmyeon vegetable packet first. Adding this early allows its flavor to infuse into the water.
Step 5
Add the Jjajangmyeon noodles to the boiling water. Follow the package instructions for the amount of water and cooking time, stirring occasionally with chopsticks to prevent the noodles from clumping.
Step 6
Once the noodles are cooked to your liking, drain off most of the water, leaving about one cup behind. Be careful not to drain all the water, as it helps the sauce mix smoothly. Add the Jjajangmyeon powder sauce and the included olive oil packet (or a little of the cooking water).
Step 7
Stir the sauce and noodles together thoroughly. If the Jjajangmyeon seems too dry, gradually add a little more of the reserved cooking water until you reach your desired consistency. This will create a rich and satisfying sauce.
Step 8
Transfer the well-mixed Jjajangmyeon to a serving bowl. The glossy, steaming noodles are a feast for the eyes!
Step 9
Place the slice of cheese neatly on top of the hot Jjajangmyeon. The heat from the noodles will gently melt the cheese, adding a delicious savory creaminess.
Step 10
To help the cheese melt beautifully and add another layer of flavor, carefully place the soft-boiled fried egg on top of the cheese. Breaking the yolk and mixing it with the noodles is pure bliss.
Step 11
The crowning glory of ‘Jjajangmyeon with Cheese & Egg’! Arrange the crispy fried dumplings alongside the Jjajangmyeon. The combination of chewy dumplings and creamy Jjajangmyeon is simply divine.
Step 12
Now it’s time to enjoy ‘Jjajangmyeon with Cheese & Egg,’ where all the flavors come together perfectly! Mix the melted cheese, runny egg yolk, and springy noodles for an incredibly delicious and unique meal. You won’t forget this special dish!
