Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • The essence of ganchejang lies in keeping the onion crisp—always cook over high heat for a short time.
  • Unlike regular jajangmyeon, no starch slurry is used, so ensure enough oil during onion cooking to prevent fermented soybean paste from clumping.

Recommended for

  • Those who prefer a dry, slightly sticky style of ganchejang where the fermented soybean paste flavor penetrates deeply without moisture.
  • People who enjoy the satisfying crunch of sweet onions paired with rich, smoky-flavored meat.
