Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • clams 15 pieces
  • napa cabbage as needed
  • onion 1/2
  • garlic 3 cloves
  • ginger a little
  • dried chili 5 pieces
  • vegetable oil 2~3 tablespoons
  • soy sauce 1 tablespoon
  • clam sauce a little
  • salt a little
  • noodles 2 servings

Recipe 🍳

  1. Cut napa cabbage and onion into thick strips, not too thin.
  2. Slice or mince garlic and ginger, and rinse clams thoroughly to remove moisture.
  3. Heat vegetable oil generously in a pan, then add dried chilies and fry until the spicy aroma infuses the oil.
  4. Add garlic and ginger, stir-fry briefly, then add prepared napa cabbage and onion. Stir-fry over high heat.
  5. Pour a small amount of water around the edge of the pan to create a slight charred flavor, then add more water to allow the vegetables' fragrance and broth to fully extract.
  6. Once the broth has developed, add the remaining water and bring to a boil. Adjust seasoning with clam sauce and salt.
  7. Finally, add the cleaned clams and simmer just briefly to prevent them from becoming tough.
  8. Serve the cooked clam jjamppong broth and solids generously over boiled noodles.
  1. Dice vegetables and prepare garlic, ginger, and dried chilies.
  2. Sauté chilies and garlic in oil to build aroma, then add vegetables and soy sauce to stir-fry together.
  3. Gradually add water while boiling, adjust seasoning, then add clams and briefly cook before serving over noodles.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Crush dried chilies before adding to intensify the spiciness.
  • Clams shrink and become tough if overcooked, so add them only at the end and simmer briefly for a tender, chewy texture.
  • For extra flavor, drizzle a touch of sesame oil at the end according to preference.
