Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • fried soybean paste 2 tablespoons
  • oyster sauce 1 tablespoon

  • sugar 0.5 tablespoon
  • water starch a little
  • vegetable oil 4 tablespoons
  • noodles 2 servings
  • eggs 2

Recipe 🍳

  1. Finely chop the onion and garlic.
  2. Heat vegetable oil generously in a pan and thoroughly cook the minced pork until golden brown.
  3. Add soy sauce to enhance the aroma, then add the chopped onion and garlic, and stir-fry together.
  4. Add fried soybean paste and stir well until fully incorporated; if needed, add a small amount of water to loosen if not mixing smoothly.
  5. Add oyster sauce and sugar to adjust seasoning, then gradually add water starch to reach a thick consistency.
  6. Pour the finished jjajang sauce over boiled noodles, top with fried scrambled eggs cooked like a pancake, and serve.
  1. Finely chop onion and garlic, and prepare boiling noodles.
  2. Sauté minced pork in oil until golden, then add soy sauce, onion, garlic, and fried soybean paste.
  3. Season with oyster sauce and sugar, adjust thickness with water starch, then serve over noodles with fried egg on top.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Using pre-fried soybean paste instead of regular soybean paste makes the cooking process much easier.
  • Cooking the pork until nicely browned triggers the Maillard reaction, greatly enhancing the umami depth of the sauce.
  • When adding water starch, do so gradually in small amounts to avoid clumping and achieve the desired consistency.
