Cooking tips

  • Make sure to rinse the potatoes thoroughly in cold water to remove starch; otherwise they won't crisp up in the oven and will turn out soggy.
  • You can substitute bacon for the guanciale, but guanciale's unique cured herb aroma and rich, savory rendered fat are the kick of this dish.
  • The homemade jjajang sauce makes a generous amount, so any leftover sauce after tossing with the potato beombeok is great for making jjajangmyeon by boiling Chinese-style noodles or pasta.
  • Crumbling Hwangbihong chili crisp, a staple in Chinese-style pubs, on top adds a vibrant red visual and a spicy-crunchy texture that elevates the dish.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to learn how to make a deep, rich jjajang sauce using the natural fat of cured meat without any artificial seasonings.
