Solo Cooking God 5-minute Jjajang Tteokbokki

Cooking tips 💡

• Using chunjang would lengthen the cooking time, so the key to this 5-minute dish is using a ready-made retort jjajang that already contains meat and bits.
• The fruit vinegar and spice components in pork cutlet sauce give the jjajang sauce a more layered and deep flavor; if unavailable, substitute with 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce.
• Since jjajang sauce can become slightly greasy as you eat, generously topping with chopped Cheongyang chili pepper adds a sharp spicy kick—it's the secret stroke of genius.
• Once you've fished out most of the tteokbokki, mixing the remaining rich jjajang sauce with thin wheat noodles or cold rice makes a perfect extra treat.
