Detailed recipeQuick recipe

Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

Onion 2 pieces
Zucchini (or potato) 1/2 piece
Beef tenderloin (or pork) 150g
Shrimp 6 pieces
Squid 1/2 piece
Chunjang 2 tablespoons
Ganjang 1 tablespoon
Oyster sauce 1 tablespoon
Sugar 1 tablespoon
Starch slurry a little
Chinese noodles 2 servings
Cooking oil as needed

Recipe 🍳

Cut the onion and zucchini into bite-sized square pieces.
Slice the beef tenderloin and squid into bite-sized pieces, and rinse the shrimp thoroughly, removing excess moisture.
Heat a pan and add generous cooking oil, then sauté the beef until golden brown.
Add a splash of ganjang to the cooked beef, letting it sizzle in the pan to enhance the unique Chinese flavor and seasoning.
Once the beef is well-cooked, add the prepared onion, zucchini, shrimp, and squid all at once, and stir-fry together over high heat.
Add just a small amount of water to help the ingredients blend smoothly, then add 2 tablespoons of chunjang and mix thoroughly.
Add 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce and sugar to balance the savory-sweet umami flavor.
When the jajang sauce begins to bubble vigorously, gradually pour the starch slurry around the edges to achieve a thick, glossy consistency.
Place freshly boiled chewy Chinese noodles into a bowl, top generously with the jajang sauce, and serve.

Dice the onion, zucchini, meat, and seafood into bite-sized, uniform pieces.
Heat oil in a pan, sauté the meat, then add ganjang to enhance aroma and seasoning.
Add vegetables and seafood together, stir-frying over high heat.
Add chunjang, water, oyster sauce, and sugar in sequence, mixing well to season.
Adjust thickness with starch slurry, then pour over boiled noodles to finish.

Cooking tips 💡

The key to authentic Chinese-style jajangmyeon is to briefly sear the soy sauce in the oil while cooking the meat to develop deep aroma.
Since salt content varies by chunjang brand, start with a small amount and adjust with oyster sauce and sugar if needed.
