Lee Yeon-bok's Hwagwotuk Ddeopbap

A hearty rice bowl dish that replicates the deep, savory flavor of Chinese restaurant-style jajangmyeon using common pantry ingredients—namely, regular soybean paste instead of fermented soybean paste (chunjang).

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Sautéing the soybean paste in oil until the grains become crisp enhances its depth and umami, closely mimicking the rich, savory taste of jajang sauce.
  • Coating the pork with starch and egg before frying helps retain juices, resulting in a much more tender and succulent texture.

Recommended for

  • Those who want a deep, savory jajangmyeon-like flavor without having chunjang on hand.
  • Home cooks looking to transform leftover pork belly into a unique, addictive one-dish meal.
