Today, I started laundry at 7 AM and hung the futons to dry, but it suddenly rained and everything got soaked. The rain made it an even more melancholic day. On such a lonely day, spicy Jjampong!



1. Squid, wood ear mushrooms, onion, zucchini, carrots, napa cabbage (leftover from making Chueotang/loach stew), chives, grated garlic, grated ginger, chili powder, chili oil, soy sauce, salt, sesame oil.
*Chili oil is made by stir-frying cooking oil and chili powder in a 1:1 ratio. Once the chili aroma emerges, separate only the clear oil.



2. After stir-frying garlic and ginger in chili oil, add the vegetables and stir-fry well. Then add the squid, wood ear mushrooms, and napa cabbage and continue to stir-fry.



3. Add water in the same way you would for making ramen. Add one spoonful of Dashida (umami seasoning) and season with soy sauce and salt. If you want it spicier, add more chili powder to your liking. Finally, add the noodles and chives, and then...



4. The jjampong is complete.
