Market-style jajangddukbokki with a rich, savory depth achieved by adding a touch of gochujang to a homemade universal pork jajang sauce, eliminating greasiness while enhancing umami.

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Cooking tips

  • The deep flavor of the jajang sauce is determined by how thoroughly you cook the onions and green onions—until all moisture evaporates and the oil becomes clear again.
  • For a richer, more restaurant-like aroma, use pork cuts with higher fat content.
  • After cooling, store the finished universal jajang sauce in an airtight container. A layer of oil will form on top, allowing it to stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
  • For a stronger umami punch similar to what you’d find in restaurants, add 1 tablespoon monosodium glutamate or Chinese seasoning (E.M.) during the final chunjang sauté step.

Recommended for

  • Parents looking for a special snack for young children who can't handle spicy food.
  • Those seeking a versatile sauce recipe that can be stored and used later for jajangbap, jajangmyeon, and more.
  • Home cooks wanting to recreate the rich, nostalgic taste of market-style or street-food jajangddukbokki at home.
