Ingredients:

• 1 package of fresh or dried wheat noodles
• 1/2 pound of diced pork belly or pork shoulder
• 1 cup of diced onions
• 1 cup of diced zucchini
• 1 cup of diced potatoes
• 1/2 cup of diced carrots
• 1/4 cup of black bean paste (also called chunjang or jjajang)

First, cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Next, heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the diced pork and cook until browned and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.

Add the onions, zucchini, potatoes, and carrots to the skillet and cook until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Stir in the black bean paste, sugar, soy sauce, minced garlic, and cornstarch, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.

Finally, add the cooked noodles and the reserved pork back to the skillet with the vegetables and sauce. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through, about 2-3 minutes. Serve hot and enjoy!
