Ja Jang Myeon

Ja jang myeon is one of my favorite Korean Chinese dishes. It's thick cut wheat noodles topped with a salty black bean paste originating from China. Its a very popular Korean dish. When I was in Seoul, Korea there isn't a place you can't get it delivered to you and for cheap!

I've got a big bag of paste mix and made some for dinner tonight with my own toppings using sweet potatoes, zucchini, onions, and asparagus. I made the paste out of a package so all I've got for you are pictures. If you want the recipe let me know, I'll figure one out.

Here's the brand I prefer. Its Ottogi. This is the big package, but you can find individual packets at Korean or other Asian markets.

Fresh wheat noodles, cut and packaged. When I'm out of these, I use spaghetti noodles.
