Description
Gonghwachun Black Bean Sauce Instant Noodles – Jjajangmyeon brings Korea’s beloved black bean noodle dish into an instant format. Instead of a soup, this is a dry stir-fried noodle: you cook the noodles, drain them, then coat them in a thick, dark, savoury-sweet black bean sauce. The result is glossy, hearty and mild – a comfort dish rather than a spicy one, which makes it a favourite with children and anyone who prefers non-spicy Korean noodles.

How to cook / Cach nau
Boil the noodles in plenty of water until springy, then drain almost all the water, leaving just a few spoonfuls in the pot. Add the black bean sauce powder or paste and stir over low heat until every strand is glossy and evenly coated. Classic toppings are diced cucumber, fried egg, sliced onion or a little sesame oil. Many people add stir-fried onion, cabbage or pork to turn it into a fuller meal.
Storage / Bao quan
Keep sealed packs in a cool, dry cupboard away from sunlight and strong odours. Eat immediately once prepared – jjajang noodles thicken and stiffen as they cool.
