Equipment

1 large skillet

1 small bowl

Ingredients

2 cups diced pork loin
4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 medium sweet onions, diced
2 cups black bean paste (chunjang or jajang)
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon sugar
6 cups cool water, plus 1⁄2 cup
2 large carrots, peeled and cut into large dice
1 medium zucchini, diced
1/4 cup cornstarch
3 pounds Chinese flat, thick noodles (dry or fresh) or buckwheat, udon, or linguine noodles
Sliced raw onions, for serving
White vinegar, for serving

Instructions

In a large skillet or wok, sauté the pork and potatoes in the vegetable oil for 2 to 3 minutes over high heat.
Add the onions and sauté for 2 to 3 more minutes.
Add the bean paste, sesame oil, garlic, and sugar and stir to mix. Sauté for 3 to 4 minutes.
Add 6 cups of the water, the carrots, and zucchini, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low.
In a small bowl, stir together the cornstarch with the remaining 1⁄2 cup water. Add the cornstarch slurry to the pan, stirring, to thicken the sauce. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook the noodles according to the package directions.
To serve, place large mounds of noodles in big soup bowls. Ladle the sauce over the noodles. Place the sliced onions and the vinegar alongside.

Notes

COOKING TIP: Although I grew up eating this, I never had it in a Korean restaurant until I was an adult. The restaurant version is usually quite sweet. If you like it that way, add more sugar to the sauce.
