Jjapaguri with Steak from Movie Parasite
Jjapaguri with Steak combines two Korean instant noodle packs, Chapagetti and Neoguri, stir-fried with tender seared beef pieces and garlic. The noodles are cooked until just al dente, then tossed in the combined seasoning sauces along with beef cooked in oil and seasoned simply with salt and pepper. The result is a rich, savory noodle dish with tender beef and a well-coated sauce.

Ingredients
- 8 ounces beef tender cut such as sirloin, ribeye, NY strip
- salt
- black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or other cooking oil
- 2 garlic cloves, roughly crushed, optional
- 1 chapagetti noodles pack, aka 짜파게티
- 1 neoguri noodles pack, aka 너구리
Instructions
- Cut the beef into bite size pieces and generously sprinkle with salt and pepper. At this point, start boiling 4 cups of water in a medium size pot.
- Heat a pan with a tablespoon of olive oil or other cooking oil. Add the meat, and cook until the bottoms are nicely seared. Turn them over, and add the optional garlic. Cook/brown all sides to the slightly less than desired doneness.
- When water boils, add the noodles and the vegetable mix from the packets and continue boiling for about 3 minutes. The noodles should be al dente at this point because they will be cooked again.
- Transfer the noodles with a strainer to the pan with the steak, reserving the water. Pour a cup of the reserved water over the noodles. Turn the heat to medium. Add the entire packet of the Chapagetti sauce and ⅗ of the Neoguri sauce (or to taste).
- Stir everything well until the sauce is evenly distributed and slightly thickens, about a minute. Add more reserved water if needed. Turn the heat off.
- Stir in the oil from Chapagetti. Serve with pickled radish or kimchi.
