Cooking tips

  • If you don't separate the ends of the jjolmyeon noodles before cooking, they will clump together like tteok, so be sure to separate them all before cooking.
  • By reducing the heat to low while cooking the noodles, the temperature is maintained without the hassle of adding cold water, ensuring the noodles are cooked thoroughly.
  • To prevent the cooked noodles from becoming mushy and to maintain their chewy texture for a long time, wash them vigorously to remove all the starch.
  • Gochujang alone is not enough for seasoning, so use soy sauce to adjust the saltiness. For maximum umami, adding 1 tsp of chicken stock is a great tip.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy restaurant-style sweet, tangy, and spicy jjolmyeon at home.
  • Those curious about the timing for boiling noodles and the washing technique to maximize chewiness.
  • Those who want to make a delicious mixed sauce with ingredients from their pantry, without using store-bought sauce.
