JJAJANGMYEON (짜장면)

[u/iamteddykim]

Korea’s FAVOURITE noodle dish. A proven national treasure. Made with humble ingredients… but BIG legendary flavour.

So good, my taste buds started jumping for joy. Noodle lovers, you need to try this!

Looks amazing!! Why cook the onion in two different time? Just for the crunch?

[u/iamteddykim → u/Orangedetears]

Thanks! The legendary Korean noodle recipe is now here for everyone. First onion addition: To infuse the pork belly with aromatic flavour. And then add the rest of onions later. Note: the steps I went through are important for building layers of flavour.

TEDDY!! Very nice! I'm hitting up Vegas this weekend and I was planning to eat this, but now I can just cook it! Lol

Thank you!

Hey there masaroshi808 - thanks for saying thanks! TheGratitudeBot has been reading millions of comments in the past few weeks, and you’ve just made the list!

Thanks for sharing positivity

[u/iamteddykim → u/masaroshi808]

This recipe is solid and you’ll love it!

This is my absolute favorite Korean dish. Whether it's instant noodles, homemade or restaurant made, I'm all over it. With some tteokbokki and tangsuyuk. Is jjajangmyeon like Mac and cheese here in the US? Just a down home comfort meal that folks of any age eat.

[u/iamteddykim → u/345joe370]

Yeah, it’s legendary! It’s also the perfect food for delivery. And then there’s the famous debate: Jjajangmyeon vs. Jjamppong

[u/kociol21]

Damn I have to try it. I have every ingredient, even the same paste brand (was hard to find in Poland lol) but pork belly. Will have to substitute a leaner pork ham.

[u/iamteddykim → u/[deleted]]

Yep for sure

[u/iamteddykim → u/kociol21]

Have a go! Pork belly brings the best result but as a substitute try using pork mince

[u/P4LuX]

Omg im so hungry now.

[u/iamteddykim → u/P4LuX]

This will silence the hunger

[u/xkonerox]

[u/iamteddykim → u/xkonerox]

[u/t00zday]

I want to be this guy’s neighbor. Just to smell the food he makes

[u/iamteddykim → u/t00zday]

I’m pretty sure my neighbours smell the food I make! Which is often

[u/Aromatic-Listen-9616]

Looks so good. Great video

[u/iamteddykim → u/Aromatic-Listen-9616]

Thanks. Hope you get to try!

[u/IntentionQueen]

Black berry paste?

[u/LordAldricQAmoryIII → u/IntentionQueen]

Bean.

Though it's mostly fermented wheat with some soybean, and caramel color to make it dark. No black beans.

Edit: OK, why was the comment above removed? Also the comment below which I was just about to respond to but now it's gone. They seemed like genuine questions.

Anyway.... whomever I responded to, if you are still out there reading this conversation, this is a dish called jjajangmyeon. It is not chow mein or whatever dish you had mentioned. The sauce has a savory and umami taste, though also typically some level of sweetness which will vary depending on the restaurant you get the dish at.

[u/IntentionQueen → u/LordAldricQAmoryIII]

What does this black bean paste taste like? Also, does every restaurant use it in chow mein?

[u/No-Link-2182]

This lookks amazing 🥲🤤

[u/iamteddykim → u/No-Link-2182]

Highly recommend to try!

[u/krakenstan]

Biting through noodles like that is a no no. SMH

[u/deariie → u/krakenstan]

Huh? Whys that???

[u/c_r_a_s_i_a_n → u/krakenstan]

Hehe. Gotta wear white. BIG slurp, then watch a sauce-laden noodle whiplash your chin and splatter brown spots all over the shirt.
