Today's menu, jajangmyeon
<Is jajangmyeon we eat Korean food? >
Captivating the taste of Koreans with its sweet and salty flavor
Jajangmyeon, a Korean soul food from China
Once upon a time, it was said that you should go to China and eat local jajangmyeon,
There was controversy over the fact that there is no jajangmyeon in China
In fact, the kanji for jajangmyeon is “sakujenâ€
Use miso paste and flour noodles on a small frying pan
It means noodles that are grated on a stir-fried sauce.
Gakjangmyeon is not about cooking in Shandong or Beijing
The type of home-cooked meal you usually eat
There are no standardized recipes
Scenes with different styles in each house
Because most of the Chinese who come to Korea are from the Shandong region
It can be seen that the “work scene†came to Korea from them.
I selected the “Top 100 National Cultural Symbols of Korea,†which represents Korean culture
If you think about jajangmyeon in here
Koreans have jajangmyeon
You can see that they think of it as Korean food.
I think jajangmyeon is the most similar to Jajangmyeon in the Shandong region.
The shape of Shandong-style noodles is similar to Korean soy sauce
Meat and vegetables stir-fried with soy sauce
It is a dish eaten grated with noodles.
In contrast to this, Peking style jajangmyeon is mainly
Various vegetables such as bean sprouts and cucumbers are sold separately
It is eaten by putting it on noodles along with stir-fried berries.
On the other hand, jajangmyeon in Korea is generally
After sautéing vegetables and chunjang together
It is a form where starch is dissolved to match the concentration.
Therefore, the style is slightly thick even though it is wet
However, because most of the noodles in China are stir-fried like frying
It may feel tight.
Here, noodles are mixed with boiled soybeans and flour
I'm talking about fermented and aged Chinese soy sauce
It continues to mix the intestines during the aging process,
The characteristic is that the color becomes darker as the aging time increases.
In the Shandong region, noodles are eaten dipped in green onions and called “chancellors.â€
I also called it cheomjang in the form of cheommyeon-jang
There is a theory that it became Chunjang after it was handed down.
It's not just the name that changed when I came to Korea
The recipe has also changed
In the early days, the Chinese made their own cotton cloth and used it,
Therefore, the taste of jajangmyeon varied from house to house.
However, a food company commercialized Chunjang
Mass production began,
Factory-made chunjang rather than Chinese noodles
The taste is mild.
<What is more special jajangmyeon than jajangmyeon? >
Not all jajangmyeon are the same
It depends on the ingredients you make
Depends on how it's made
The infinite world of jajangmyeon
Plain jajangmyeon with a sweet flavor

Soy sauce is made by quickly stir-frying chunjang and ingredients

Uni jajang is jajangmyeon made by finely chopping ingredients such as vegetables and meat
It is characterized by its soft and savory flavor.
Also, what is commonly thought of as old jajangmyeon
Jajangmyeon made by cutting potatoes or onions into large pieces
Once upon a time, chunjang was stir-fried with lard
Jajangmyeon with a savory flavor
Samseon jajang is a jajang that contains three kinds of fish
Usually, shrimp, cuttlefish, and sea cucumber are added.
Nowadays, jajangmyeon containing seafood is also commonly referred to as jajangmyeon.
