Korean Food: Jajangmyun (Noodles with Black Bean Sauce)! This Korean adaptation of a Chinese black bean noodle dish is so delicious! Jajangmyun is one of the most popular noodle dishes in Korea. It is the Korean adaptation of a Chinese black bean noodle

dish with the same name, and you can find it at most Chinese restaurants. It’s one of my favorites (and my daughters) and super easy to make. You can also find instant jajangmyun now at most Asian markets. If you’re strapped for time and need something quick, the instant ones are actually ok tasting but – if you can make it fresh at home- Do it.

Hope you give this recipe a try! Enjoy!
