Jajang-Myeon/炸酱面/짜장면

Jajang-Myeon/炸酱面/짜장면 Rice/Noodles
2013/10/21 15:02  



My last recipe on the 16th Oct 2013 was the Jajang-Bab/炸酱烩饭/짜장밥. The "Jajang" is suitable for the rice and noodle.
Jajangmyeon (자장면; 짜장면; jjajangmyeon), is a noodle dish topped with a thick sauce made of chunjang (a salty black soybean paste), diced pork and vegetables, and sometimes also seafood. Jajang (alternately spelled jjajang), the name of the sauce, is the Korean pronunciation of the Chinese characters , which literally means "fried sauce." Myeon (also spelled myun) means "noodle".
The dish originated from zhajiangmian (, literally "fried sauce noodles") in China's Shandong region. The pronunciation of the dish's name is nearly identical to that of its Korean counterpart. But Korean jajangmyeon differs from Chinese zhajiangmian, as Korean jjajangmyeon uses black Korean chunjang including caramel, and onions.
Jajangmyeon uses thick noodles made from white wheat flour. The noodles, which are made entirely by hand and not by machines, are called sutamyeon (수타면; 手打麵) are praised in South Korea as an essential ingredient of good jajangmyeon.
The sauce is made with a dark soybean paste. This paste, which is made from roasted soybeans and caramel, is called chunjang (literally "spring paste", hangul: 춘장; Chinese: ) when unheated, while the heated sauce (containing vegetables and meat or seafood) is called jjajang (literally "fried sauce"). Chunjang is stir-fried with diced onions, ground meat (either beef or pork) or chopped seafood, and other ingredients. The meat stock is added to reduce the salty taste, and potato starch or cornstarch is added to give the sauce a thick consistency. The sauce is served hot over noodles, sometimes with sliced raw cucumbers. The same sauce is also used to make jajangbap (rice served with the sauce) and jajangtteokbokki (tteokbokki made with the sauce instead of the usual spicy sauce).
Variations of the jajangmyeon dish include ganjajangmyeon (간자장면), which is jajangmyeon served with the jajang sauce without the starch, with the sauce and noodles being served separately in different bowls, and samseon jajangmyeon (삼선자장면; 三鮮炸醬麵), which incorporates seafood such as squid, shrimp, sea cucumber, and others (but never fish). Samseon ganjajangmyeon (삼선간자장면; 三鮮간炸醬麵) consists of noodles served with sauce, which contains seafood on the side. Jajangbap is essentially the same dish as jajangmyeon, but made with rice instead of noodles.
炸醬麵是指一种面条食用方法,用煮麵條和炸醬相混合,食用时将面条和炸醬混合均匀.
韓國的炸醬麵,是由華僑帶入韓國,以春醬黑豆醬)為調味料,加上洋蔥肉類等。風味獨特,已經自成一格。

今天,我是和大家分享炸酱烩饭而非炸酱面。。因为这炸酱也非常适合用来烩饭。。。

炸醬麵是指一种面条食用方法,用煮麵條和炸醬相混合,食用时将面条和炸醬混合均匀,可以配以鸡蛋丝或其他菜码,菜码一般可以用黄瓜丝、煮青豆、煮豆芽、煮菠菜等。

炸醬一般是用肉末(或肉丁)、黄酱(或甜面酱晉語區多用老黑醬等)、加盐、糖或蜂蜜炒製的,一般东北传统上使用大酱炒製,大酱和肉丝或肉末炒制成的叫肉酱,比较常见,大酱和炒鸡蛋制成的可以叫鸡蛋酱。

韓國亦有炸醬麵,是由華僑帶入韓國,以春醬黑豆醬)為調味料,加上洋蔥肉類等。風味獨特,已經自成一格。
