Jjajangmyeon (Korean Black Bean Noodles with Pork and Vegetables) with pork belly, chunjang and jjajangmyeon noodles — Korea recipe

Jjajangmyeon (Korean Black Bean Noodles with Pork and Vegetables)

Jjajangmyeon is a Korean-Chinese noodle dish of thick chewy wheat noodles topped with a glossy black sauce of fried chunjang (Korean fermented black soybean paste), pork belly, onions, potato, zucchini, and cabbage. The dish was first sold in 1905 at the Gonghwachun restaurant in Incheon's Chinatown, brought by immigrants from Shandong as zha jiang mian; the sweeter caramel-dark chunjang that defines it today came later, in 1948. Today it is one of Korea's national comfort foods, sold in every neighbourhood and traditionally eaten on Black Day (April 14) by single people who got no Valentine's gift. Active work is about 45 minutes, no long simmer needed. Serves 4 with 200 g noodles and about 400 ml sauce per portion, topped with julienned cucumber for fresh contrast.

Chicken Karaage with chicken, soy sauce and ginger — Japan recipe

Meat Dishes

Chicken Karaage

Japan's much-loved fried chicken: bite-sized thigh pieces marinated in soy, ginger, garlic, and sake, dredged in potato starch, and double-fried to a pale, craggy, glass-crisp shell. The potato starch and the two-stage fry are what set it apart from any other fried chicken, and a squeeze of lemon at the table is all it needs.

Chicken and Lotus Root Patties (Renkon Tsukune) with chicken breast, lotus root and potato starch — Japan recipe

🇯🇵JapanMedium

Meat Dishes

Chicken and Lotus Root Patties (Renkon Tsukune)

Chicken and lotus root patties, renkon tsukune (れんこんつくね) in Japanese, are small pan-fried patties from Japanese home cooking, made of ground or chopped chicken and lotus root held together with potato starch. They are one kind of tsukune, Japanese chicken patties. This version is 鶏むね肉とれんこんのつくね (torimune-niku to renkon no tsukune): the chicken is breast chopped with a knife, not bought ground chicken, and half of the lotus root goes in as 5 to 7 mm dice so it stays crunchy. Most Japanese recipes for renkon tsukune use ground chicken and finish the patties in a sweet soy glaze. These are fried plain until golden and served with a small dish of soy sauce and rice vinegar. The mixture is too loose to shape by hand, so it is spooned into the pan and pressed flat there, which is what the two Japanese chicken breast recipes we worked from do. Two things differ from the Japanese recipes we read. The other half of the lotus root is chopped fine where several of them grate it, and the patties get a last minute in the pan without the lid so the surface dries. The recipe makes 12 patties for 2 people and takes about 45 minutes.

Potato Galette with Pork and Cheese (Jagaimo Galette) with potato, pork and mozzarella — Japan recipe

Potato Galette with Pork and Cheese (Jagaimo Galette)

Jagaimo galette (じゃがいものガレット, jagaimo no garetto) is the Japanese home version of a potato galette: raw potato cut into matchsticks, pressed into one round cake in a frying pan and fried until both faces are crisp. This one has thinly sliced pork mixed through it and a layer of melting cheese in the middle. Japanese recipe sites publish the pork version under several names, among them 豚じゃがガレット (buta jaga garetto) and 豚こまとじゃがいもチーズガレット (butakoma to jagaimo chīzu garetto). The word galette is French. In Japan it usually means a buckwheat crêpe, and recipe sites use it for this potato cake too. The cut potato is never rinsed, because its own starch is what glues the strands together. Most of the pork versions we read use 豚こま切れ肉 (buta komagire), cheap thin offcuts of pork, and thinly sliced pork shoulder does the same job outside Japan. Belly works too but makes a much fattier galette. We fry the pork for a few minutes before it goes into the potato, so no raw meat sits in the middle of the cake. The recipe makes one galette of about 22 cm, enough for 2 as a main dish with rice, and takes about 35 minutes if the pork is bought already sliced.
