Recipe 🍳

- Heat a pan and add the pork, searing until the surface is crispy and golden brown (Maillard reaction).

Cooking tips 💡
- Wash the jjolmyeon noodles in cold water with strong rubbing to prevent them from breaking easily and to maintain a springy texture.
- When cooking noodles in a frying pan, covering the lid shortens the time but watch out for rapid boiling over.
- The meat should be seared crispy to create a contrasting texture when eaten with the spicy noodles, making it much more delicious.
