🙋 Recommended for

  • People looking to recreate the smoky, Chinese restaurant-style flavor of jjajangmyeon with minimal ingredients

Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings

  • Jjajang ramen 1 pack
  • Pork belly 80g
  • Green onion 1/3 bunch
  • Green chili pepper 1 piece
  • Cooking oil 1 tablespoon
  • Soy sauce 1 teaspoon
  • Red pepper powder 1 teaspoon
  • Chili oil 1 tablespoon
  • Water 400ml

Recipe 🍳

  1. Slice the pork belly into thin, long strips. Finely chop the green onion and green chili pepper.
  2. Heat cooking oil in a pan and sauté the pork belly until golden and tender.
  3. Once the pork is cooked, add the green onion and green chili pepper, stir-frying briefly. Press 1 teaspoon of soy sauce along the edge of the pan to create a smoky aroma.
  4. Add 1 teaspoon of red pepper powder and 1 tablespoon of chili oil, continuing to stir-fry until the spicy pork topping is fully developed. Set aside separately.
  5. In a pot, combine 400ml of water and the solid soup base. Bring to a boil, but start simmering early to extract broth-like depth.
  6. Once boiling, add the noodles and stir continuously until the broth thickens and reduces slightly.
  7. When most of the liquid has evaporated, turn off the heat and mix in the powdered soup and oily soup base, ensuring the noodles are thoroughly coated with a rich sauce.
  8. Transfer the finished ramen to a serving bowl and top generously with the pre-cooked spicy pork topping to finish.
  1. Prepare the pork and vegetables by slicing and chopping.
  2. Sauté the pork in a pan, then add green onion, green chili pepper, and soy sauce to develop a smoky flavor.
  3. Add red pepper powder and chili oil to complete the spicy pork topping.
  4. Combine 400ml of water, solid soup base, and noodles in a pot, and simmer without discarding the water.
  5. Turn off the heat and mix in the powdered and oily soup bases to thicken the sauce.
  6. Serve in a bowl and garnish with the prepared spicy pork topping.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Since no water is discarded and the broth is reduced slowly, the starch remains intact, allowing the sauce to cling richly to the noodles.
  • Always turn off the heat before mixing in the powdered soup base to prevent burning and ensure a moist, glossy finish.
