Step 1
Cut 2 Spring Onion stalks into small pieces. Finely dice 1/2 a whole Onion into small bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
Chop a piece of Pork Loin (250 grams) into bite-sized pieces. Season the pieces with 1/2 a Tablespoon of Mirim. Then season with a few pinches of Salt and Black pepper. Give it a mix with your hand.
Step 3
Open 3 Jjapaghetti Instant Noodles. Open up 3 Jjapaghetti Powder Packets. Then set aside 2 of the Ramen Noodles (we don't need all 3).
Step 4
Measure out 3 Tablespoons of Olive Oil - set aside!
Step 5
Place a wok or large frying pan on MEDIUM heat. Put Olive Oil (3 Tablespoons) into the frying pan. Once its hot, place in the Spring Onion pieces.
Step 6
Once the spring onion pieces start to sizzle, place in the diced onions. Stir-fry around until the onion pieces turns translucent. Then add in the seasoned pork pieces.
Step 7
Stir-fry the pork pieces until most of the red is gone in the meat. Then turn off the heat - we'll quickly move to boiling our noodles
Step 8
Fill a pot with water and bring it up to boil. Once the water is boiling, add in the 2 ramen noodles. Place the noodles in and set timer for 5 minutes.
Step 9
After 4 minutes (before we finish boiling), scoop out 2-3 ladles of starch water. Set aside for later.
Step 10
Once its 5 minutes, the noodles are done. Drain the water and rinse the noodles under cold water. Set aside in a strainer and let it drip off excess water.
Step 11
Place the stir-fry back on medium heat. Add in 3 Jjajangmyeon Powder Packets. Stir-fry it around. Once the powder is well mixed into the ingredients, add in 1 scoop of the starch water. Mix it around and let it simmer for 1 minute. (Note: If you want your Jajangmyeon to be more sauce, add-in another scoop of starch water.)
Step 12
Grab a handful of the cooked ramen. Place onto a plate. Then scoop on a few soup ladles worth of the Jjajangmyeon Sauce. Garnish with a few pinches of sliced green onion.
Step 13
Before eating, thoroughly mix the noodles with the black bean sauce. Bon Appetit!
