My Korean cooking - jjajangmyeon

Korean Actor Jang Dong Gun loves jjajangmyeon. This make me curious what is so great about this black colour noodles. After having my first jjajangmyeon in Korea, I also fell in love with it. However, it is very rare to find Korean restaurant selling this noodles in Singapore. So I decided to cook the noodles so that I can eat as and when I like it. I manage to find substitute for the noodles which has similar noodle texture.

Ingredients needed :
1) No frill brand speghetti 2) zuchhini 3)potatoes 4)Onion 5) Pork 6) Cucumber
Other Ingredients :
1) Black Bean Paste 2) Sugar 3) Sesame oil 4) Corn flour
For serving of 6 pax, use half packet of speghetti, half potato, half onion, 1/3 of zuchhini and half bowl of pork.
Boil the speghetti for 10 mins (boil the noodles for extra 2 mins as instructed on the packaging so the noodles texture will be softer).
Diced all ingredient no. 2-5. Best measurement, just ensure all ingredients are of same portion. Fry pork and potato with some sesame oil for approx 5-10mins. Add in onion and zuchhini and fry for another 5 mins. Do no remove the ingredients in pan, add in 2 table spoons of black bean paste and fry all ingredients. Add water till all ingredients are covered under water. Simmer in low fire for appox 15-20 mins. Add in half teaspoon of sugar. Add in corn flour (mixed with water) till the mixture is thicken. Pour the mixture on the noodles. Put some shredded cucumber so that noodles will taste better.
