Instructions

1 In a cold pan add the pork belly and turn on medium heat. I like to start with a
cold pan so that the fat renders out which gives great flavor to the rest of the
ingredients. Cook until the pork is no longer red, about 5 minutes.
2 Add the potato, zucchini, radish, and onion and give everything a good mix. Let
the veggies get coated in the pork fat. Add the MSG and oil if needed. Stir and
cook for about 5 minutes, or until the onion and zucchini have softened and
released a lot of their liquid. Then add the black bean paste and stir
everything together.
3 Let the jjajangmyeon stew in the pan for another five minutes, or until the
potato is soft. While this is happing, boil the noodles
4 Depending on the type of noodle you use there may be variations in time. However
fresh Asian noodles usually cook in 2-4 minutes. Just boil them in water and
then drain.
5 To plate either toss your jjajangmyeon with the noodles beforehand and then
place in the bowl/plate, or place the plain noodles first and then ladle over
the stew.
6 Garnish with the raw cucumber and enjoy!
