	noodles
7 tbsp	black bean paste
250 g	pork belly
1 tsp	sugar
1 tbsp	olive oil
3 tbsp	potato starch powder
2 tbsp	water
½	radish
1	sweet potato
1	zucchini

Instructions

Pork:
Cut the of pork into Ĺ inch (1cm) cubes. Leave the skin on.

Add Ĺ tbs of olive oil to a heated wok. When that is hot, add the pork and stir fry it until it looks crispy.

When the pork is well cooked and the colour turns golden brown, drain all the hot fat and set the pork aside. Leave it in the wok for later use.

Black Bean Sauce and Vegetables:
Heat a small skillet over medium heat with 2 tbs of vegetable oil. When that is hot, add 7 tbs of black bean paste and stir fry for 1 minute.

Remove the extra oil and set the black bean paste aside.

Cut all vegetables into 1.2 cm cubes and place them on a big plate or tray. You will end up with 80 g radish, 200 g potato, 200 g zucchini, and 200 g onion.

Reheat the crispy pork in your wok over high heat, and add 1 tbs of olive oil.

Add radish and sweet potato (or potato) and saute them for 2 minutes. Then add zucchini and onion and saute them for another 2 minutes.

Add 700 ml water until all the ingredients are submerged, and close the lid and boil it for 15-20 minutes.

Open the lid of the wok and skim off the foam from the surface. Add the fried black bean paste from the small skillet and stir it up.

To check if ingredients are cooked or not, try a sample potato chunk. It should be cooked, not raw.

Mix 2-3 tbs potato starch powder (or corn starch) and 2 tbs water and add it into the boiling soup and stir it. The soup should turn into a sticky sauce.

Add 1 tbs sugar to the sauce and stir it.

Noodles:
For 2 servings, you will need one bunch of noodles from the package.

Boil water in a big pot, add the noodles and close the lid. Cook for a few minutes according to the direction on the package (around 3 minutes).

Try one sample noodle to check if it is cooked properly or not. It should be soft and not stiff at all. If itís cooked, drain the noodles and place them on a large plate or bowl.

Reheat the jjajang sauce and put it on the noodles.
