  • An appropriate amount of shredded napa cabbage
  • A pinch of shredded carrot

  • 1 cup seafood mix (refrigerated recommended)
  • 1-2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp chicken stock
  • A pinch of flower salt
  • A pinch of shredded zucchini
  • 1-2 Cheongyang chili peppers
  • 1 red chili pepper

  • Water

Recipe 🍳

  1. Soak the pork backbones in cold water, changing the water frequently for 4 hours to remove blood.
  2. Fill a pot with plenty of water, add the drained pork backbones and whole peppercorns, and simmer for 2 hours to make the broth.
  3. If the water reduces while simmering, replenish it to the original level as needed.
  4. After 2 hours, remove the well-simmered pork backbones and whole peppercorns and set aside.
  5. Heat a pot with cooking oil, add minced ginger, shredded napa cabbage and carrot, white part of green onion, fine gochugaru, and coarse gochugaru. Stir-fry until the vegetables are coated with chili color.
  6. Add shredded onion and seafood mix, and stir-fry quickly once more to prevent burning.
  7. Once the seafood is lightly cooked, pour in all the prepared pork bone broth. Season with oyster sauce, minced garlic, chicken stock, and flower salt.
  8. Add shredded zucchini, diagonally sliced Cheongyang chili peppers, and red chili peppers. Simmer for exactly 3 minutes to complete the jjamppong broth.
  9. Place the cooked jjamppong noodles in a bowl, generously top with the simmered pork backbones, and pour the hot jjamppong broth over it to finish.
  1. Soak pork backbones for 4 hours to remove blood, then simmer with whole peppercorns for 2 hours to prepare broth and meat.
  2. Heat oil in a pot and stir-fry ginger, napa cabbage, carrot, green onion, and two types of gochugaru, then add onion and seafood and stir-fry.
  3. Pour in bone broth, season with oyster sauce, garlic, chicken stock, and salt, then add zucchini and chili peppers and simmer for 3 minutes. Serve over noodles.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Using pork neck bones, which have more meat, instead of backbones makes it easier to pick the meat off and is more generous.
  • Using frozen seafood mix as is can result in a fishy smell, so it's best to use it completely thawed or fresh.
  • Replenishing the water as it reduces while simmering the broth is crucial for a rich, milky, and hearty soup.
  • Since the noodles can get soggy while you're picking the meat off the pork bones, it's recommended to eat the noodles first before they get too soft.
