Scale
- 2–3 cloves minced garlic
- 1 medium sliced onion
- 1 medium sliced carrot
- 2 cups chopped napa cabbage
- 2–3 tablespoons gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce

Instructions
- In a large pot, heat some oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sliced onions. Sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Incorporate sliced carrots and napa cabbage. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
- Stir in gochugaru and soy sauce. Cook for another minute until the spices are well combined.
- Pour in seafood or chicken broth. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Add your choice of seafood. If using shrimp, mussels, and squid, cook for 3-5 minutes or until they are just cooked through.
- While the seafood cooks, prepare the noodles in a separate pot according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Once the seafood is cooked and the broth has a rich flavor, add the cooked noodles to the pot. Stir to combine, and let everything heat through for another minute.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame oil. Enjoy your homemade Jjamppong!
