Cooking tips

  • Thicker cuts of stewing pork take longer to cook and may cause the green onion to burn first, so I highly recommend using thinly sliced pork belly for quick, even cooking.
  • When seasoning, using a combination of fish sauce and chicken stock powder creates a deep, savory broth without needing extra salt.
  • Swap the udon noodles for jjolmyeon noodles to make yukgaejang jjolmyeon, or use instant ramen noodles for a yukgaejang ramen variation.

Recommended for

  • People craving a hot, hearty, spicy soup on chilly days.
  • Those who want to enjoy a deep, street-stall or restaurant-style yukgaejang taste easily at home.
  • Anyone looking for an endlessly devourable spicy snack to pair with soju.
