Bokkeum jjambbong is a Korean-Chinese dish.  A derivative of jjambbong, only without broth, stir-fried (bokkeum) instead.

While jjambbong is one of my all-time favorite dishes, I am not a fan of the stir-fried version, which is why it has never before been featured on GMTD.

That said, I was very happy with the rendition by Jjampong Janggun.  Firm noodles.  Well-balanced sauce, not at all greasy.  Even better, it came with slices of beef, very nicely seasoned, nicely wok-charred – highly unusual, highly appreciated.  I will probably never order the dish again, but wouldn’t mind if I did.

The only drawback would be the surfeit of onions, and bell peppers.
