STEP 1/25
If you chop 5-6 stems of the remaining green onions, you'll get about 1 cup. If you're using green onions, I think 1 to 1.5 long green onions will do. Cut onions, pumpkins, and eggplants into bite-size pieces according to the taste of the eaters. I cut them not too big to feed them vegetables. Especially, I don't eat eggplants that children don't like when I cut them into big pieces like kkakdugi. ^^
STEP 2/25
Place 2 cups of jajang powder in a flat bowl and fold with a spoon, pouring 100ml of water. It feels like there's not enough water at first, but if you mix it slowly, it won't be enough.
STEP 3/25
Black bean sauce powder in water. It looks like black bean paste, right? Now, I'm going to fry the black bean powder in oil like black bean paste.
STEP 4/25
It seems to be a little greasy, but if you don't have enough oil, you can burn it, so I pour in half a cup and start. After the oil heats up a bit, put the powder in the water and start frying.
STEP 5/25
It can burn, so you have to stir-fry it slowly over medium heat. I stir-fried it for 3-4 minutes.
STEP 6/25
Leave the oil and leave the fried black bean powder chunks in the bowl for a while.
STEP 7/25
Add 1 cup of chopped green onion, 3T of ground garlic, and 1T of ground ginger to the remaining oil and slowly flavor the oil over medium heat. Stir-fry enough until the spicy smell of garlic changes to a savory smell.
STEP 8/25
When the color of green onions, garlic, and ginger turns golden and the oil scent changes to savory
STEP 9/25
Turn the heat up,
Pour in the chopped onions first.
STEP 10/25
I'll rummage for about a minute, and when I'm out of breath
STEP 11/25
I'll put the pumpkin that I prepared
STEP 12/25
I'll stir-fry it for about a minute
STEP 13/25
Lastly, add the vegetables and eggplants.
STEP 14/25
Eggplants absorb a lot of oil, so stir-fry other vegetables first so that moisture comes out, and then stir-fry them like steam. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes.
STEP 15/25
Lower the heat to low,
Add the fried black bean powder.
STEP 16/25
Mix the vegetables that you used to stir-fry on low heat with a spatula and the lump of black bean powder
STEP 17/25
Add 2T oyster sauce and 2T brown sugar and mix.
STEP 18/25
First, pour 1 cup of water and mix well. After mixing well, pour the remaining 1 cup of water and mix well.
STEP 19/25
When all the seasoning ingredients are mixed, stir 1T of starch powder in 1 cup of water to make starch water and pour it over the sauce.
STEP 20/25
If the starch water is mixed well and the jajangmyeon becomes sticky, it's done.
STEP 21/25
Prepare shredded cucumbers, minced spicy peppers, etc. according to your preference and serve them at the end.
STEP 22/25
I usually use frozen udon noodles rather than raw udon noodles, and raw udon noodles feel a little dry, but Japanese frozen udon noodles feel more chewy. You can blanch it in boiling water.
STEP 23/25
When the noodles are all blanched, take them out
STEP 24/25
Place in a bowl before it cools
STEP 25/25
Pour jajangmyeon over it and sprinkle with pepper oil or pepper powder to your liking, and add additional ingredients such as shredded cucumbers, spicy peppers, and boiled eggs.
The point is to fold the jajang powder in water and stir-fry it in oil!
If you just stir-fry the powder in the oil, it'll burn
