Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • 1 green onion
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1/2 onion
  • A moderate amount of napa cabbage
  • 1/3 carrot
  • 2 tbsp jin-ganjang
  • 2 tbsp gochugaru
  • 2 packs of beef bone broth
  • 1 handful of frozen seafood mix
  • 1 handful of sweet potato noodles
  • A pinch of garlic salt
  • A pinch of ground black pepper

Recipe 🍳

  1. Cut the napa cabbage and carrot into large bite-sized pieces, slice the onion, and finely chop the green onion.
  2. If you want to enjoy noodles, soak sweet potato noodles or Chinese wheat noodles in plenty of water beforehand.
  3. Add a generous amount of cooking oil to a pan and preheat over high heat, then add the chopped green onion and minced garlic to infuse the oil with green onion flavor.
  4. When the green onion aroma rises, add the sliced onion and stir-fry until the surface turns brownish.
  5. Pour 2 tbsp of jin-ganjang around the empty edges of the pan, let it simmer and slightly burn to infuse a smoky flavor, then mix and stir-fry with the vegetables.
  6. Add the prepared napa cabbage and carrot, and stir-fry until the vegetables wilt.
  7. Add 2 tbsp of gochugaru and quickly stir-fry with the vegetables until the red pepper oil emerges.
  8. Pour in store-bought beef bone broth. If the broth is too thick, adjust by adding about 1 cup of water.
  9. When the broth boils, add the desired amount of frozen seafood mix and boil together until cooked.
  10. If desired, add bok choy, bean sprouts, mushrooms, etc. Once they wilt, adjust the seasoning with garlic salt, then finish by adding the soaked sweet potato noodles and a pinch of ground black pepper.
  1. Cut vegetables into appropriate sizes, and soak noodles in water beforehand.
  2. Stir-fry green onion, garlic, and onion over high heat, press soy sauce onto the edge of the pan to create a smoky flavor, then stir-fry the vegetables.
  3. Add gochugaru and stir-fry, then add beef bone broth, seafood mix, and sweet potato noodles, boil, and season with garlic salt.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Minced garlic and gochugaru can easily burn over high heat, so you must time it well and stir-fry quickly to avoid bitterness.
  • Pressing the soy sauce directly onto the bottom of the pan so it slightly burns is the key to creating the characteristic smoky flavor of jjamppong.
  • Store-bought beef bone broth is often already seasoned, so add garlic salt at the end little by little while tasting the broth.
