Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings
- dumpling wrapper 1 pack (as much as needed)
- chopped kimchi 2/3 cup
- squid sauce 1 tablespoon
- chicken stock 0.5 tablespoon
- kimchi juice 1-2 tablespoons
- green chili pepper 1
- scallion a little
- water 3 cups
Recipe 🍳
- Stack several sheets of prepared dumpling wrappers and cut them into bite-sized pieces suitable for jajangmyeon.
- Place 3 cups of water in a pot and add 2/3 cup of chopped kimchi.
- Add 1 tablespoon of squid sauce and 0.5 tablespoon of chicken stock to create a deep, savory base.
- For a refreshing, vibrant red color, add 1–2 tablespoons of kimchi juice according to taste and bring to a boil.
- Once the broth starts boiling vigorously, quickly add the cut dumpling wrappers one at a time, separating them so they don’t clump together.
- Gently stir with a spoon to prevent sticking and simmer until the noodles are tender and the soup thickens slightly.
- Finish by adding finely chopped green chili pepper and scallion to enhance the spiciness and freshness.
- Stack dumpling wrappers and cut into desired size. Boil water with kimchi, squid sauce, chicken stock, and kimchi juice.
- When the broth boils, add the cut dumpling wrappers one by one, gently stirring to keep them separate.
- Chop green chili pepper and scallion, add to the pot, boil once more, then serve in bowls.
Cooking tips 💡
- For a thicker, more chewy texture resembling traditional jajangmyeon, stack 2–3 sheets of dumpling wrappers before cutting and adding.
- Since kimchi often contains plenty of minced garlic and seasoning, avoid adding extra garlic to prevent the broth from becoming heavy or muddy.
- If you don’t have enough kimchi juice at home, adjust the flavor with a pinch of salt or dash of soy sauce.
