Jja Jang Myun 짜장면

Ingredients
1/3 pound ground beef (or pork or regular beef)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
Chopped vegetables (onion, carrot, mushroom, zucchini, potato)
2 teaspoon corn or potato starch + 1 TB water
3/4 cup water
1 tablespoon sugar
Noodles
4 tablespoons jja jang

First, I cut up all the vegetables in small cubes that are bite size pieces... use any vegetable you want!


Heat up your wok, and add the minced garlic with a little olive oil


I used ground beef, but you can use pork or other type of beef if you like




Add on top of the garlic and cook~



Cook the beef until it's about half way cooked




In the meantime, start to boil water in a separate pot for the noodles




Go back to your wok while thewater is heating up.  Add the potatoes (you can use sweet potato instead too) and the onions


Cook for about 3-4 minutes... make sure to stir it around so nothing sticks to the pan

Add the rest of your vegetables




Mix it around and make sure it doesn't stick!




I ended up adding mushrooms too







Cook until the vegetables are cooked... then add the jja jang 




Then add 3/4 cup of water and mix it around. Make sure it doesn't burn




Mix together the starch and 1 TB of water in a separate small bowl




Then pour it into the wok + 1 TB of sugar




Mix everything around.  The water in the other pot should be boiling so add your noodles and cook them according to the directions.  I used these







Make sure to keep stirring the wok occasionally while the noodles cook... taste the sauce and adjust to your liking! I ended up adding a splash more water and corn starch.... you might like yours sweeter and add more sugar etc.... so taste and adjust!

Then plate the noodles and put the sauce on top!
