Cooking tips 💡
- Adding 1 tbsp of jjajang powder to the seasoning easily achieves the deep brown color and rich umami characteristic of Andong jjimdak.
- The dangmyeon must be thoroughly soaked in cold water beforehand so that it absorbs moisture in the microwave and cooks soft.
- If you prefer not to have the fatty taste from the chicken skin, you can remove the skin during preparation.
