Jjamppong Korean Seafood Noodle Soup

Step 1

Add cooking oil, chopped garlic, ginger and green onion in a cold wok or large pot. Turn the heat to medium and stir fry until you can smell the aroma, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 2

Increase heat to high then add pork, cabbage, onion, carrot and zucchini. Stir fry to combine all ingredients, about 45 seconds then add gochugaru, Korean red pepper flakes and smoked paprika. Stir fry for 30 seconds to 1 min, then add the soy sauce and oyster sauce around the wok. This way the sauce will burn immediately which will create beautiful smokey fire flavor.

Step 3

Quickly stir fry everything together and pour chicken stock and shaoxing wine. (If you are suing spaghetti, start cook the spaghetti now.) Bring it to boil. Add seafoods then bring back to boil and hard boil until all the seafoods are fully cooked, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add red or green chili.

Step 4

Cook fresh noodles by following the directions of the package you are using. Drain and rinse the cooked noodles under cold water to get rid of excess starch. At the last moment, rinse with hottest water from faucet to warm the noodles back up. Drain completely and place on a serving bowl.

Step 5

Pour generous amount of the seafood soup over the noodles and serve immediately! Enjoy!
