I am following Chris Cho on every social media outlet possible. I love his recipes. I am sharing this here for myself and my daughter, so it's easier to find. Feel free to google Chris Cho and his recipes. He mostly is posting videos so you have to make your own notes.

This is what you need:

for 2 persons

- 1 coarse diced Onion

- 1/2  of coarse diced skin on Zucchini (optional if you have none)

- 150 gr. of  finely cut Pork Belly or Pork Butt

- 3 TBSP of Sesame oil for the Pan

- 1 TBSP Sesame Oil in the end

- 1/2 TBSP of Garlic paste

- 1/2 TBSP of Ginger past

- 2 1/2 TBSP of Black Bean Paste

- 1 1/2 TBSP of Soy Sauce

- 1 1/2 TBSP Oyster Sauce

- 1/2 TBSP white Sugar

- 1 cup of Water

- 1 TBSP Potato Starch in a 2 TBSP water for a slurry

- 1 pack Udon Noodles or Jjajang Noodles 

This is how you do it:

Pan fry the Meat first until brown. Then add the Garlic and Ginger. Stir. Now add the Onion and the Black bean paste. Combine everything very well. The Bean paste is thick and needs the oil to release. Add the Oyster Sauce, Soy, Sugar and the Zucchini and stir well. You don't want to cook the Onion all the way so its a bit crunchy. Pour in the water and mix. Make your slurry and stir it in well again. You want to constantly move the ingredients around. Optional is a tiny bit of MSG. Finish it up with Sesame Oil. 

Cook the Noodles as packaging says. I used Udon noodles and made them in the Microwave. Pour over the Jajangmyeon and enjoy. 

Guten Appetit
