- Thick-cut pork belly a little
- Squid a little
- Shrimp a little

- Chinese cabbage a few leaves
- Onion 1/4
- Bean sprouts handful

Recipe 🍳
- Cut scallion, onion, Chinese cabbage, green onion, and green chili pepper into bite-sized pieces.
- Heat a pan and add cooking oil, then sauté sliced scallion over medium heat without burning to make scallion oil.
- Once the scallion oil rises, add generous chili powder and gently stir-fry over medium-low heat until fragrant—do not burn—to create chili scallion oil.
- Add thick-cut pork belly and cleaned squid and shrimp to the oil and stir-fry over high heat.
- When the meat and seafood are partially cooked, add prepared vegetables like Chinese cabbage and onion and stir-fry together.
- Once the vegetables are slightly wilted, pour soy sauce around the edge of the pan to lightly char it, creating a smoky aroma, then quickly mix everything in.
- Pour in hot water, add the Shin Ramen powdered soup mix, solid soup mix, and clams, and bring the broth to a boil.
- When the broth boils, add the ramen noodles and minced garlic and cook further.
- Finally, add green onion, bean sprouts, and green chili pepper, adjust seasoning, and if too bland, add a little oyster sauce and simmer briefly to finish.
- Fry scallion and chili powder to make chili oil, then stir-fry pork belly and seafood.
- Add vegetables and stir-fry, then burn soy sauce along the pan’s edge for smokiness before adding water, ramen soup mix, and clams.
- Add noodles and minced garlic, then finish by adding vegetables and oyster sauce to adjust seasoning.
Cooking tips 💡
- When frying chili powder, avoid high heat to prevent burning—use low or medium heat and stir carefully.
- The step of lightly charring soy sauce along the pan’s edge is essential for achieving the authentic smoky flavor of jjamppong.
- Including both meat and seafood enhances the broth’s depth and richness, making it more savory and satisfying.
