Jjajangmyeon Noodles (Korean Noodles in Black Bean Paste)

Korean Noodles

Whenever I want something savory but packed with alot of vegetables, I make JJajangmyeon.

Jjajangmyeon – Korean Noodles in Black Bean Sauce is one of my favorite Korean recipes, and it is super easy to make at home.

step by step

This recipe is my easy 20-minute version packed with tons of vegetables and is super delicious.

My dad always craves Jjajangmyeon, so I like to prepare it in bulk so he can freeze and enjoy it whenever he wants.

You will not believe how easy it is to make Jjajangmyeon at home; get ready to slurp up these savory and delicious noodles for dinner tonight!

potato

I never had Jjajangmyeon until moving to Canada.

The first time I saw Jjajangmyeon was in a Korean drama, and my mouth watered INSTANTLY as I saw the main characters slurp up the noodles.

In Taiwan and China, we have our version called Zha Jiang Mian, which is spicier since it uses spicy fermented beans (doubanjiang) and is meatier. I love both versions, and I will share my Zha Jiang Mian recipe soon!

vegetables

One of my favorite things about Jjajangmyeon is that it incorporates so many vegetables.

If you are VEGETARIAN, you can skip the pork belly, and your Jjajangmyeon will taste just as good! There are many variations of Jjajangmyeon. For example, for protein, you can use pork belly, beef, or even seafood!

For vegetables, you can use cabbage, carrots, daikon, potatoes, onion, or zucchini. I always incorporate whatever I have left in the fridge, and it tastes amazing every single time! 

Jajangmyeon

I am using FRESH Jjajangmyeon noodles today.

They are chewy and thick perfect for soaking up all the sauce. If you can’t find fresh Jjajangmyeon noodles, you can use dried Jjajangmyeon noodles instead!

Follow the instruction based on the brand you choose; often, they are covered in starch, so make sure to rinse them with cold water after cooking. 

black bean paste

Korean Black Bean Paste is salty, savory, and slightly sweet.

This is a crucial ingredient for Jjajangmyeon and cannot be replaced. Here are some brands that I recommend Assi Black Bean Sauce, Chong Jung Won, and Chungjan; once open, they can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 months!

Make sure to pan-fry with a little bit of oil, as it can have a slightly sour taste if you don’t pan-fry it first.  I make at least Jjajangmyeon once a month, and once you give it a try, you will also fall in love!

About Me
Hi! I am Tiffy and I am a HUGE foodie. I love to cook, I love to eat, and I love sharing what I love with the world.
I was born in Taiwan, a country with some of the best street food in the world. When I think back to my childhood, I remember all the fantastic restaurants my dad brought me to when I was young. You see, my family is also huge foodies; we use to wander around night markets every weekend, skip the last period in class to try out new restaurants, and every summer, we would travel around Taiwan exploring all the new “must try” dishes around the country.
