I love trying new instant food particularly when it sounds healthy. So I bought these instant Jajangmyeon to try out.

  • Name: Rice Jajangmyeon (쌀 자장면) by CJ
  • Price at Homeplus : 4,130 won (US $4.40)
  • Size: 670g for 2 servings

The unique thing about this jajangmyeon is that the noodles are made of 100% Korean rice instead of typical wheat flour. It claims that it has a nice chewy texture, because it is made of 100% rice.

Typically instant Jajangmyeon consists of noodle packs and black bean sauce packs. They are to be cooked and heated separately then combined.

Below you will find easy 4 step guides on how to cook instant Jajangmyeon. Enjoy!

How to Cook Instant Jajangmyeon 

Step 1. Boil some water in a pot (enough to cover the sauce packs), when it starts to boil place the unopened jajang sauce (the red packet) into the pot. (Heat it for about 3-4 minutes.)
Or, if you have a microwave, open the jajang sauce pack and take the sauce out onto a medium sized bowl.  Microwave the sauce for 1 minute and 30 seconds (in a 700W microwave.)

Step 2 (At the same time as step 1). Have plenty of water in a second pot. When it starts to boil, add the noodles into the pot and boil them until the noodles are fully cooked (about 4 minutes on medium heat). Stir the noodles a bit so they don’t stick together.

Step 3. Drain the water and rinse the noodles in warm water (for 1-2 seconds).

Step 4. Serve the noodles in a bowl. Pour out the sauce over the noodles. (You can top it up with cooked green beans, sliced cucumber or boiled/fried egg.) Dig in!

If you have mastered instant Jajangmyeon, you might want to try real Jajangmyeon from scratch as well! Hope you give it a try soon!
