쫄면, JjolMyeon
Posted by Aeri Lee on November 24, 2008
Today, I will make a popular Korean noodle dish, JjolMyeon (쫄면). The letter “Jjol (쫄)” came from the first letter of the Korean word “쫄깃 쫄깃한,” which means very chewy and elastic. The letter “myeon (면)” means noodle in Korean. If you are familiar with names of Korean foods, you will remember “myeon” from jja-jang-myeon, ra-men, or nang-myeon. 
So, jjol-myeon is very chewy noodle with a sweet, sour, and spicy sauce along with some fresh vegetables. You can skip the egg if you don’t like hard-boiled eggs. Enjoy! 
Yield: 2 Servings

Today’s recipe is Korean styled mini fried chicken with a sweet and mildly spicy sauce. The reason I use the name “mini” for this recipe is because I will use bite sized pieces of chicken breast for it. It is nice to eat since the pieces of fried chicken are small without the bone and skin. Try this delicious dish for a party or football game someday.
