What's For Dinner 1



Made this in the 'other' kitchen

Korean Jajangmyun (noodles in black bean sauce)

The noodles:

  • bought at a Korean supermarket (dry wheat noodles) cooks up just like dried pasta
  • must remember to give a good rinse once removed from cooking liquid

The sauce:
  • slice up 5 mushrooms
  • 1/4" dice one medium zucchini
  • 1/4" dice some cabbage (as much as you like)
  • 1/4" dice 1/2 yellow onion (optional - we didn't because i hate onions)
  • 1/4" dice lean pork (M decided to use fatty pork belly)
  • Korean black bean sauce bought at Korean Supermarket
  • cook pork over medium heat until brown, add all veggies at once and cook til zucchini is just soft
  • add packaged sauce, 1/2 cup of water (maybe more according to desired thickness) . we added sugar and sesame oil to taste.
After cooking sauce for about 4 minutes, add cooked noodles and mix thoroughly. Eat while still hot. Traditionally served with Japanese pickled radish (Oshinko) and Kimchi.
