I haven’t bought a Jajangmyun pack in a while. It is quite expensive as an instant food.
But it is cheaper than going to a Chinese restaurant to have some.
This is what I bought the other day.
“Rice Jajangmyun” by CJ, Homeplus price :4,130 won/ 670g for 2 people (US $4.40)
The unique thing about this jajangmyun is its noodle are made of 100% Korean rice instead of wheat flour. It said “It has a nice chewy texture, because it is made of 100% rice” on the front of the packet.
Cooking is quite simple. (You will need two pots.) There is a picture on the back of the packet too.
Cooking for 2 people
Step 1. Boil some water in a pot (enough to cover the sauce packs), when it starts to boil put 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 put it into the microwave (You heat the pack on its own, not in water), heat it 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, put the noodles into the pot, boil them for 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 decorate with green beans and cucumber, it is up to you.)
