Yeo Kyung-rae's Seafood Jaengban Jajang

A delicious stir-fried chajang where chewy shrimp and squid are fully coated in a richly sautéed chajang sauce, with boiled noodles tossed together until the sauce perfectly soaks into every strand.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Cooking tips

  • Do not overcook seafood in the sauce, as it becomes tough. Instead, briefly blanch shrimp and squid before adding them at the final heating stage for a tender, chewy texture.
  • To achieve a rich, deep flavor, vigorously stir-fry the noodles and sauce together over high heat—this allows the starch on the noodle surface to blend with the sauce.
  • The chajang sauce tends to dilute when noodles are added, so season slightly stronger and make the sauce thicker than usual chajang sauce.

Recommended for

  • Those who prefer a rich, thick stir-fried chajang with sauce fully soaked into the noodles, rather than standard chajangmyeon.
  • People looking to enjoy the perfect combination of abundant seafood like shrimp and squid with savory chajang.
  • Families seeking a generous, shareable special meal to enjoy together around a large platter.
