How to make seasoning sauce

In a bowl, add

• 2T gochujang (red pepper paste)
• 1T gochugaru (red pepper flakes)
• 2T soy sauce
• 3T vinegar
• 1T sugar
• 2T honey or corn syrup
• 1t minced garlic
• 1T sesame oil
• 1T sesame seeds

Mix well.

Vegetable preparation

Thinly slice the cabbage, cucumber, and carrot.

This is Jjolmyeon that I bought from a Korean grocery store. Since it's frozen, you can leave it at room temperature for about 2 hours before using it, and the noodles that were stuck together will automatically separate.

Add about 2 handfuls of soybean sprouts to boiling water. Open the lid and blanch them for about 2 minutes.

After 2 minutes Take the soybean sprouts out and rinse them in cold water. And then drain the excess moisture.

Put the Jjolmyeon in the boiling water that was used to blanch the soybean sprouts. Stir occasionally over high heat and cook for about 5 minutes.

After 5 minutes

Rinse the Jjolmyeon several times in cold water to remove excess starch. If you have ice, add it while rinsing. Drain the rinsed Jjolmyeon.

How to plate

Put the jjolmyeon and the blanched soybean sprouts in a bowl. Pour about half of the pre-made seasoning sauce first. Mix well.

Place an appropriate amount in a bowl. Place the sliced vegetables on top, making it look nice. If you have boiled eggs, cut one and place it on top. Add a little more seasoning sauce if it is necessary.

The sweet, tangy, and spicy flavors are amazing! Very delicious Jjolmyeon is done!

Notes

• The sauce used in Jjolmyeon tastes even better when it's marinated! You can make it in advance the day before and keep it in the refrigerator for later use.
• If you don’t have plum extract, you can use apple juice instead.
• Jjolmyeon should have a slightly sweet and tangy taste.
