Jajangmyun

The first time I had jajangmyun was at Bukyung in Union Square. It was super delicious and of course after that experience, I saw it every where (mostly in korean dramas). It's actually really easy to make. There's a video of how to make it start to finish here. For those who haven't had jajangmyun, it's definitely worth a try.

Ingredients:
pork
2 potatoes
1 big onion
1 carrot
- Cut all ingredients into cubes.

1. Sautee the pork.

2. Add potatoes and carrots and sautee them for ~ 2 minutes.

3. Add onions and sautee for another 2 minutes.

4. Add water until all the ingredients are just submerged. Put a lid on it and let it sit for 15 minutes.


Meanwhile, put some oil in a small pan and once the oil is heated, add 5-7 tablespoon of black bean paste and stir it around for a while until heated. Take it off the heat.


5. Open the lid and if there's foam, skim it off. Add the fried black bean paste and stir until it's all dissolved.


6. Add some corn starch (put the corn starch in some cold water first) to the pot and stir it together. The corn starch will help to make the jajangmyun thick.

7. Add 1 tabespoon of sugar and stir.

8. Add to noodles. =)
