Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Place the pork bulgogi meat in a pan and add 2 tablespoons of the store-bought bulgogi sauce. Ensure the meat is evenly coated.
Step 2
Stir-fry the seasoned pork over medium heat until nicely cooked. Cook until the meat is tender and flavorful.
Step 3
Julienne all the vegetables into bite-sized pieces, suitable for japchae. Slice the onion, carrots, and green onion into thin strips.
Step 4
Add the julienned carrots to a pan with a little canola oil and a pinch of salt. Stir-fry briefly until slightly softened. Then, add the onions and continue to stir-fry until they become translucent.
Step 5
Finally, add the julienned green onions and stir-fry quickly over high heat for just a few seconds. The key is to stir-fry them briefly to retain their fresh aroma and slight crunch.
Step 6
Around the time the vegetables are finished stir-frying, boil the dangmyeon in plenty of boiling water. Refer to the package instructions for the exact cooking time.
Step 7
Do not rinse the cooked dangmyeon with cold water. Drain them briefly in a colander and immediately transfer them to a pan. Add 2 tablespoons of sesame oil to the pan and quickly toss the noodles to coat them. This prevents the noodles from sticking together.
Step 8
To the coated noodles, add 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, a pinch of black pepper, 1 tablespoon of oligodang (or honey), and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Add half a tablespoon of minced garlic and mix everything thoroughly until the seasoning is evenly distributed through the noodles.
Step 9
Now, add the prepared stir-fried vegetables and the cooked pork bulgogi to the seasoned noodles.
Step 10
Toss all the ingredients together to combine, and your delicious Pork Bulgogi Japchae is ready! Enjoy it while it’s warm.
