Solo Cooking God's Doen-jjajang Udon

A single-serving gan-jjajang udon that amazingly recreates the taste of jjajang using home doenjang fried in oil instead of chunjang or instant 3-minute jjajang.

Ingredients needed 1 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Fry the doenjang thoroughly in oil first; this transforms the characteristic savory soybean flavor into a taste similar to jjajang chunjang.
  • If you want a stronger umami like store-bought, add a tiny bit of MSG at the end.
  • If you've boiled the noodles separately, you can simply mix them with the finished jjajang sauce without adding water.

Recommended for

  • Those who don't have chunjang at home but want to quickly create a sweet and salty gan-jjajang flavor.
  • Those who want to enjoy a Chinese-style noodle dish at home alone, without delivery fees.
