Korean Black Bean Sauce Noodles 🥩Beef & 🍤Shrimp Recipe + Mukbang: Jajangmyeon 자장면 Jjajangmyeon 짜장면

JjaJangMyeon (Black Bean Noodles) is Korea's #1 Delivery Food and Quick Meal Dish That Is LOVED By Everyone, from toddlers to seniors. It is Korean's Spaghetti dish that satisfies everyone's hunger while taking you to FOOD HEAVEN! YUP, it is that FINGER-LICKING-GOOD...:-)

In Korean, most people pronounce this Black Bean Noodles as JjaJangMyeon 짜장면. BUT I was "gently informed" (aka schooled by my cousins in Korea) that the proper way to pronounce this dish is JaJangMyeon 자장면. This is a common mistake in mispronouncing this Black Bean Noodles.

Now, Black Bean Noodles is not a Korean cuisine, in that its origin is from Chinese. Chinese immigrants in Korea created JaJangMyeon and soon enough it became a major stable noodle dish enjoyed by Koreans, on a regular basis. There is even a saying that, for good luck, on the day you move into a new place/residency, you order JaJangMyeon delivery to your new home.

Now, at most of these Chinese-Korean Restaurants, you'll find a few variations of JaJangMyeon. The fancier the establishment, the more variations of this Black Noodle dish you'll see on the menu.

1. The standard JaJangMyeon is made with onions, potato, and pork. Simple and yet a classic dish.

2. Uni-JjaJang Myeon (유니짜장) is typically made with ground beef, onions, potato, and Chinese chives.

3. Samseon-jjajang (삼선짜장) is typically made with a variation of seafood, and some places you can order with pork and seafood or beef and seafood.

4. Gan-JjaJangMyeon (간짜장) is made so that it is hot dry wok-fried with no or minimal broth and corn starch. Unlike the other versions, this is version does not have the gravy consistency sauce. It tends to be a bit saltier with that slight "burnt" taste.

(JaJangBap: Black Bean Sauce Over Rice is a version that is made and enjoyed at home.)

RECIPE INSTRUCTION

1. To Enhance Your Store-Bought Chicken/Vegetarian Broth

In a medium-size pot, bring your broth to boil. Then add the rest of the ingredients, cover with a lid, lower the heat to LOW and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes.

(To learn how to make chicken broth from scratch, please watch my BulDak: Spicy Fire Cheese Chicken video, listed above).

2. To Make Black Bean Sauce (JaJang Sauce)

Cut all the vegetables (except the Chinese Chives) into large cubes. (TIP: Your vegetables will shrink by 30% to 40% by the time you finish cooking, especially the mushrooms.) Chinese Chives - Cut the root ends off and cut into 1-inch lengths.

Preheat your large nonstick frying pan so it is piping hot. Add 1 Tbsp of olive oil to the pan and distribute evenly. Then add the potatoes, onions, 2 to 3 pinches of Kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper (1/8 Tsp or 10 turns on your peppermill). Sautee on high heat for 2 to 3 minutes or until you see some brown marks, as shown in the video.

Move the onions and potatoes to the outer interior rim of the pan, as shown in the video. Then add 1 Tbsp of olive oil in the middle of the pan, and add the ground beef. (Vegetarian friend, add the cubed portobello mushrooms, add 2 pinches of Kosher salt, 1/8 Tsp/ten turns on your pepper mill of freshly ground black pepper and 2 pinches of garlic powder. Sautee on high heat for 1 to 2 minutes or until you see some brown marks on the mushrooms.) Break up the ground beef with your spatula. Add 2 pinches of Kosher salt, 1/8 Tsp/ten turns on your pepper mill of freshly ground black pepper and 2 pinches of garlic powder. Sautee on high heat for 1 to 2 minutes or until you see some brown marks on the beef. (Do not cook the beef all the way. Just some brown marks will suffice.) Bring down the stove heat to medium-high. Then start mixing the beef (or mushroom) with the rest of the onions and potatoes. Mix and stir fry for one minute while moving the ingredients around the pan. Add the mushrooms, zucchini, and stir fry for one minute. Add the shrimp and stir fry for 30 seconds.

Push all the ingredients in the pan to the outer interior rim of the pan, then add 1 Tbsp of olive oil in the center of the pan. Add the black bean paste and stir fry it with the olive oil for one minute. Then start mixing all the ingredients in the pan together and stir fry for one minute.

Start pouring the Chicken/Vegetarian broth to the pan (broth only) and let it simmer for one to two minutes.

Mix the corn starch powder, cold water and mix well using a small whisk or fork.

Lower the stove heat to LOW setting. Start slowly add the corn starch water mixture to the center of the pan and mix well using a spatula. Let this simmer for one minute. Add the Chinese Chives to the sauce and mix well (cook the chives for 30 seconds only). Optional: Add the chile threads. Turn off the heat. Your Black Bean Sauce is READY!

Cooking The Noodles

In a large pot, bring your water to boil. (Please follow my tip on water and noodle ratio when boiling noodles.) Add a generous amount of salt to create a salt bath. (Add just enough salt to the pot of water so that it tastes slightly salty.)

If using fresh noodles, make sure to toss it and let it rest on your cutting board for 60 seconds before adding to the pot of boiling water.

Add your noodles to the salted boiling water. Keep the stove temperature at HIGH setting. Stand over your pot because the water will boil over. When you start seeing the water bubbling to the top, turn down your heat for a bit until the bubbles settle and then turn the heat back up to HIGH. If using fresh noodles, cook for 3 to 4 minutes. (Do a taste test by cooling it down in a bowl of an ice bath. If it tastes soft and chewy, the noodles are ready. The noodles should not taste doughy. If doughy, cook for another minute or so.) If using dried spaghetti noodles, make sure to cook for an extra 2 to 4 minutes or until soft (not al dente).

Once your noodles are cooked, quickly transfer to a large bowl of iced water (approximately 10 seconds). As soon as the ice melts, remove the excess water, as shown in the video, and transfer to a strainer. At this point, your noodles should be warm. Plate the noodles to a serving dish and add the black bean sauce (approximately 1 cup of black bean sauce for every 2 cups of noodles).

As mentioned in the video, it is absolutely critical to consume your noodles within a few minutes of cooking them, to fully enjoy the taste of your noodles. If you let it sit on the counter for five, ten minutes, it will be bloated and not as tasty and chewy as it should be.

Bon Appetite...😋😋😋
