Homemade Jjapaguri (Ram Don). Korean noodles smothered in a spicy umami flavored black bean sauce with cabbage, onion, and steak. Inspired from the Korean movie Parasite. Ready in 30 minutes!
In a small bowl, mix together your cornstarch and water. Set aside.
In a large non-stick pan set over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and add cubed steak. Fry until medium rare (about 2-4 minutes total). Remove the steak and set aside.
Reduce to low heat and add 2 tablespoon of oil followed by roasted black bean paste, gochugaru and gochujang paste. Mix and swirl it around in the oil to make it glossy, about 2 minutes. Push the paste to the side.
Raise heat to medium. Add onion, green onions and cabbage. Stir fry until soft. Then mix in with the black bean sauce.
Add cornstarch water mixture, oyster sauce and sugar. Mix until well combined with veggies and sauce. Allow this to simmer and thicken.
Once sauce has thickened, add in steak and cook for 1 minute. Remove sauce off heat.
Boil Korean wheat noodles for 3-4 minutes total or until al dente. Strain noodles and add noodles into the sauce.
Garnish with more green onions!
