My cooking is going so well thanks to your videos :) I’ve made bulgogi, kimchi pancakes and tteokbokki all with rave reviews! I’ve even got my family to try the food and they were surprised at how much they loved Korean cooking. I kind of chickened out on making the kimchi, but one of my Korean friends is going to come over soon to help me out and we’ll see how it goes. I want to make sure that my boyfriend doesn’t have to miss out on having homemade kimchi because he’s with an american girl haha-thanks so much again!

yes, eat with rice. Then it will be called jjajangbap. : ) bap (pronounced baap) is steamed rice.

I found this for you on my website. One of my readers Julie made vegetarian version jjajangmyeon and posted the photo on her page.

Check out the photo to see what it looks like.

She says, “For this jajangmyun, instead of pork I used tofu. I fried thin strips until crispy and then added soy sauce to give it saltiness and added at the end of cooking!” http://www.maangchi.com/fans/julie

Are there any vegetarian substitutes for this? I’m a vegetarian and this used to be one of my favorite dishes.

Thank you so much for this recipe! My boyfriend is Korean, and I finally went with him to visit his family in Korea this summer. I had a wonderful time there learning about the culture and the food from his home country. While we were there, he told me that this was one of his favorite dishes so I wanted to try and make it for him while we were back in the states, and this recipe worked out perfectly. I can’t wait to try more of your recipes. Your website is seriously a God send because I finally feel confident cooking him Korean food to help remind him of home. The next thing I’m going to try is kimchi. Normally, I buy us the store bought kind and he would always tell me that it was no where near the real thing. Let me tell you, I realized how true that was when I was in Korea. Wish me luck and I look forward to trying many more of your recipes!

I’ve eaten the prepackaged jjajangmyun for years since my mother never had the time to make it homemade. It’s always been one of my favorites and I’ve missed the homemade my halmonie made for us in Korea. I’m definitely going to try this version! :)
