Aha Bujang's Mussel Jjamppong

Cooking tips 💡

• Dry-stir-frying the vegetables over high heat before adding oil helps achieve the characteristic wok hei flavor of jjamppong even on a home stove.
• Add gochugaru with the heat off and mix to prevent it from burning and developing a bitter taste.
• Using fresh mussel meat instead of pre-cooked mussels yields a much clearer broth and a tender, non-chewy texture.
• Adding salt and Miwon in a 1:1 ratio is a key technique for achieving the savory, umami-rich broth found in professional jjamppong.
