Ttukdak Hyung's Lard Jjajangmyeon

Cooking tips 💡

• When stir-frying chunjang in oil, if the heat is too high, it will instantly turn black and bitter, ruining the entire sauce. Always maintain very low heat for a smooth result.
• To faithfully replicate the addictive, approachable umami of Chinese restaurant jjajangmyeon, do not skimp on MSG—add it generously without hesitation.
• The heavy, nutty richness of lard dominates the sauce, so feel free to use any cheap cuts of pork (such as front leg, hind leg, or stew meat) and the high-quality taste will still be maintained.
