How to use for a classic jjajang sauce

To prepare a traditional jjajang sauce, start by cutting meat and vegetables. Heat a little cooking oil, then stir fry the meat and vegetables until lightly seared. Add 2 tsp of Obok Chunjang and continue to stir fry, letting the paste release its character. Pour in a small amount of water as you go to help it loosen into a saucy base. Mix a quick starch slurry with water and boil for about 2 minutes to achieve a gentle gloss. Serve the finished sauce over your noodles or over rice for a satisfying meal.
