Jjamppong is a Korean noodle soup dish made with mixed seafood such as prawns, clams, mussels and squid prepared together with thin pork slices, vegetables and mushrooms in a spicy pork broth. It’s a richly flavoured soup, where the taste of seafood, pork and spices all mix together and form a very tasty broth. The first time I tried this reminded me of Korean instant noodle called Nongshim, they tasted nearly similar and I call that flavour painfully delicious!

This dish has a rich history and have a Japanese and Chinese roots. The dish itself was derived from
Chao Ma Mian a Shandong Style seafood noodle soup dish but the name came from Chanpon which is another noodle soup dish with a Japanese Chinese roots. It was said that during the Japanese occupation of Korea during the early 1900’s to mid-1900’s the Japanese saw Chao Ma Mian in Chinese restaurants in Korea, the Japanese hated the Chinese and they started to call those noodle soup dish Champon, that Japanese work then sounded Jjamppong to the Koreans hence they started calling it like such. As time progresses the Koreans then made it their own by adding in gochutgaru (chili powder) and chili oil to the recipe during the ’60s and the rest was history.

I love this dish, the seafood and chillies give it a potent punch, it’s an all on one dish with soup, pork, vegetables, seafood and noodles I think all your basic food groups are sorted. Traditionally Koreans use dried anchovies to flavour the stock, what we will be doing today is use dashi stock to make our lives easier, don’t worry it will yield the same flavour.
