Low-Carb Jajangmyeon: A Guilt-Free Noodle Fix for Your Diet!
On the Switch-On Diet, the one thing you absolutely have to avoid is…
Flour!!!!!! Especially Jajangmyeon! Ramen! Tteokbokki!!
As the Switch-On Diet gets longer, there are times when I crave something delicious.
So, I ordered Vivid Kitchen's Low-Carb Jajang Ramen sauce.
I bought it for ₩3,580 during a sale on Kurly.
This low-calorie sauce is only 90 calories per 100g.
And with only 3g of sugar, it's pretty amazing!
The carbohydrate content is 23g per 100g, but since I'll only be using around 50g of sauce per serving, I think it's a small amount.
Now, let's make some proper diet-friendly Jajangmyeon!
Diet Jajangmyeon Ingredients (2 servings):
Tofu Noodles (adjust amount per serving)
50g Vivid Kitchen Diet Jajang Sauce
2 tablespoons Allulose
1 tablespoon Oyster Sauce
1 tablespoon Crushed Red Pepper
Cabbage (as much as you like)
1 Potato
1 Onion
100g Pork Shoulder
Olive Oil
I thinly sliced tofu skin that I bought from Coupang and made tofu noodles.
I had them stored in the freezer.
The noodles quickly thaw when you soak them in water.
I microwaved them for about 1 minute.
Thaw 100g of pork shoulder.
To remove any potential fishy smell, season it with mirin and pepper.
Cut the cabbage however you like, but I like it finely chopped so I can eat it with a spoon.
I cut it into about the size of my fingertip.
Then, I soaked it in vinegar water.
Cut the potato and onion into the same size.
Heat oil in a pan and first add the pork to stir-fry.
Once the pork is cooked, add all the prepared vegetables.
Even without adding anything yet, the color of the meat is changing as it cooks.
Now, add the long-awaited low-carb Jajang sauce.
Woww, the color is getting pretty close to Jajang!
I like it spicy, so I added a little crushed red pepper.
Add two tablespoons of allulose instead of sugar.
Add about 1-2 tablespoons of oyster sauce.
And stir-fry it all together! It's done when the potatoes are cooked.
Put the microwaved tofu noodles in a bowl.
Pour the Jajang sauce on top.
Finished~~!!
I also prepared diced cucumbers to increase my vegetable intake.
It's so delicious when you mix it together...
If you want a more "sinful" taste, you can add a little MSG, sugar, and oil.
And usually, you would add starch for the consistency, but I skipped it since it's a diet meal.
I had a hearty and delicious meal~~!
