Jjolmyeon Recipe (Korean Spicy Cold Chewy Noodles) 쫄면 만들기

Hi guys!

Today I’m going to share one of my favorite Korean cold noodle dishes.

The name of dish is Jjolmyeon.

Jjolmyeon is a type of Korean noodles that have a very chewy texture. Most of the time we eat as a cold and spicy dish with vegetables, especially soybean sprouts.

It is spicy, sweet, tangy, chewy and crunch.
Since Jjolmyeon has chewy texture, it goes really well with harder texture vegetables- such as carrot, beansprouts, cabbage and cucumber.

Jjolnmeyon used to be my after school meal when I was in high school. 🙂

When I filmed this episode of Asian at Home and tasted the dish, I felt like I was in high school, eating Jjolmyoen after boring classes! lol

This spicy chewy dish made me forget any stresses I had as a high school student.

Hope you guys give this recipe a try and taste my high school summer time! 🙂

Instructions

1. Hard boil an egg; peel and set aside. In a small mixing bowl, combine all ingredients for gochujang sauce and whisk until smooth. Set aside.
   
2. Bring 8 to 10 cups of water to boil and add about 1 Tbs salt; add soybean sprouts and cover, cook for 4 minutes over high heat. Turn off heat and let it sit with cover on for 1 minute. Take soybean sprouts out and rinse under cold water. (Save hot water in pot) Drain completely and set aside.
   
3. Bring water (we cooked soybean sprouts) back to boil; add Jjolmyeon noodles and cook it by following directions on your noodle package. (Normally it takes about 3 to 5 minutes to cook Jjolmyeon noodles)
   
4. Drain, rinse under cold water, and rub noodles with both hands to get rid of excess starch for about 2 minutes. Drain completely.
   
5. Now, let’s assemble Jjolmyeon! Place noodles in the bottom of a serving bowl and then place prepared soybean sprouts, cabbage, cucumber, and carrot right on top of noodles. Cut hard-boiled egg in halves and place a half on top of noodle bowl.

   

6. Serve immediately with gochujang sauce. Mix well with a pair of chopsticks right before you eat.
   Enjoy!
