Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings

  • 1 pack Jjajangmyeon noodles
  • 20 stalks Scallions
  • 200g Beef short ribs
  • 1 bunch Enoki mushrooms
  • Pinch of salt
  • Sesame oil, to taste
  • Pinch of fresh wasabi
  • 1 Egg yolk

Recipe 🍳

  1. Finely mince the white parts of 20 scallion stalks and thinly slice the green parts. Prepare generously.
  2. Cut the beef short ribs into bite-sized pieces and lightly season with salt.
  3. Heat sesame oil in a pan over high heat. Add the beef short ribs and sear one side until crispy and caramelized, like bacon. Cook the other side for just 10 seconds, then remove.
  4. In the same pan with the remaining oil, add the enoki mushrooms, lightly seasoned with salt, and sauté until wilted. Then remove.
  5. Add a little more oil to the pan and sauté the minced white parts of the scallions until fragrant.
  6. Pour water over the sautéed scallions and add the jjajangmyeon flakes and noodles. Cook until the liquid is almost completely reduced, simmering until almost dry.
  7. Once the noodles are cooked, add the jjajang sauce powder and olive oil. Turn off the heat and quickly mix to emulsify the sauce.
  8. Transfer the noodles to a bowl. Arrange the sautéed enoki mushrooms and seared beef short ribs on top, creating height. Generously top with the sliced green parts of the scallions, covering the noodles.
  9. Garnish with an egg yolk and fresh wasabi in the center to finish.
  1. Mince the white parts of the scallions and thinly slice the green parts.
  2. Sear the beef short ribs until crispy on one side over high heat, then sauté enoki mushrooms in the rendered fat and set aside.
  3. Sauté the minced white parts of the scallions, then add water, noodles, and flakes, simmering until almost dry.
  4. Mix in the jjajang sauce to finish the sauce. Plate the noodles, then top with beef short ribs, enoki mushrooms, green scallions, egg yolk, and wasabi.

Cooking tips 💡

  • When cooking the noodles, leave as little liquid as possible to ensure the jjajang sauce adheres well to the noodles, allowing you to enjoy the rich flavor of a stir-fried noodle dish.
  • When eating, break the egg yolk and mix it with the noodles and scallions for a creamy texture and maximized fragrance.
