Vegan Jjamppong Recipe!

I missed jjamppong – Korean spicy seafood noodle soup so much that I had to make a vegan jjamppong! I did a couple of recipe tests and realized making the flavor is easy but imitating the seafood texture was the challenge. Luckily, trying a few different, I found the magic mixture of ingredients! I mean, you could use imitation vegan seafood if you want to, though! hahaha I was trying to create with the ingredients I already have in the fridge and what I can get from the island.

It’s actually super easy & quick to make as all my recipes, so let’s get started!

Combine 7 cups vegetable broth and 1 oz of dasima in a large mixing bowl and let it sit for 30 minutes. I like to mix 1 tbsp yondu (Korean fermented vegetable sauce) per 1 cup of water to make a quick vegetable broth.

Chop 5 to 7 cloves garlic, about 2 tsp ginger, and 1 cup of green onion. Add them in a cold wok or a large pot. Pour 5 tbsp cooking oil. (I like to use avocado oil.) Turn the heat on to low and stir fry until you can smell the aroma, about 5 to 6 minutes.

Meanwhile, julienne carrot (approximately 1/2 of medium-sized carrot), thinly slice 1/2 of a large onion, and cut 1 lb baby bok choy into quarters. Slice your choice of mushrooms. I like to use king oyster mushrooms and oyster mushrooms for this recipe. Because king oyster mushrooms look like scallops when you slice them into a circle shape, oyster mushrooms add a lovely texture. So if you’re using them too, go ahead and slice king oyster mushrooms and rip oyster mushrooms with your fingertips.

The other ingredients that make this vegan jjamppong recipe to the next level are konnyaku and yubu (aburaage). You can find both ingredients very easily from Asian groceries near you. Konnyaku is made with Japanese maintain yum and nearly zero calories. It has a slightly fishy smell that definitely helps the “seafood noodles soup” flavor.

Yubu (aburaage) is a fried bean curd that works beautifully in soups. Slice konnayaku and yubu.

Stir fry to combine all the ingredients, about 45 seconds to 1 minute. Add 2 tbsp mushroom soy sauce and 2 tbsp vegetarian oyster sauce around the wok. This way, the sauce will burn and create a beautiful smokey flavor. Stir fry everything for 30 seconds.

Pour the prepared veggie broth, and discard dasima. Add 4 to 5 tbsp gochugaru, 1 tbsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp Korean mushroom seasoning (if you’re using it, it’s optional), konnayaku, mushrooms, and yubu. Mix everything well and bring it to a boil.

Drain thoroughly and place on a serving bowl.
