Yeo Kyung-ok's Yellow Soybean Paste Jajangmyeon

An unusual and richly savory jajangmyeon made using fragrant yellow soybean paste (or doenjang) instead of black chunjang

Ingredients needed 1 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • If yellow soybean paste is unavailable, you can substitute with store-bought Korean doenjang to make a rich and delicious Korean-style doenjang jajang.
  • Since onions naturally release sweetness, you may omit sugar if you prefer less sweetness.
  • For best consistency control, mix starch and water in a 1:3 ratio to make the slurry.

Recommended for

  • Those who don’t have chunjang at home but want to make a rich and flavorful jajangmyeon from scratch.
  • People curious about a different Chinese-inspired style using yellow soybean paste instead of the usual dark jajangmyeon.
