1

Prep

Cut the pork and squid into bite-sized pieces, and slice the onion and cabbage into squares.
2

Heat

Boil the Chinese-style noodles in boiling water, rinse lightly in cold water to remove starch, and drain in a sieve.

Heat

Heat the vegetable oil in a pan and stir-fry the pork with chunjang.

When no raw pink remains on the pork surface, add the squid and shrimp and cook briefly until the squid is opaque and the shrimp are pink and curved.

Control

Add onion and cabbage to the pan and stir-fry quickly over high heat for 2 minutes to prevent water from releasing.
5

Season

Add the boiled noodles and sugar to the stir-fried sauce, stir and fry for 1 minute so the sauce coats evenly, and complete.
