How to make jjolmyun

Jjolmyun is a Korean noodle dish, but it is a little different from the typical one. Jjolmyun is a spicy, chewy noodle recipe that has no liquid. Korea has adapted to this chewy texture and now, Jjolmyun is recognized as one of Korea’s proud dishes. This is how this delicious dish is made.

The ingredients you will need to make jjolmyun are: a packet of chewy noodles (it will say chewy noodles on the packet), an egg, cucumber, Korean chili paste, rice vinegar, sugar, garlic, toasted sesame seeds, and sesame oil.

You will first have to prepare your ingredients. Boil the egg, peel it and keep it whole. Julienne the cucumber (about a handful per serving) and set aside.

We will also have to make our sauce for the jjolmyun. The sauce is called chogochujang. It is a chili paste sauce with a bit of acidity from the vinegar. Just mix the Korean chili paste, rice vinegar, sugar, garlic, and sesame oil to make your sauce.

Now, fill a pot with water and put it on high heat. Next, put your chewy noodles and cook them. Once the noodles are done, strain all the water and rinse the noodles in water a couple of times to remove the starchy taste. Once you’re done with that, place it in a medium-large bowl.

Next, add the chogochujang sauce right on top. On top of that, add the julienned cucumbers and the egg. Now all that’s left to do is enjoy your delicious jjolmyun! Teach your friends how to make this delicious and very simple dish.
