Even though I am Chinese but I never seen this noodle dish before in Malaysia. I actually learned about this famous Korean Chinese food from watching the Korean dramas. I got fascinated because this jajangmyeon only served in the Korean Chinese restaurant and it is a Korean fusion Chinese food. Last year I found out that the Chinese restaurant near my house also featured Korean menu and jajangmyeon was one of them. So of course I got to buy and give it a try. But at almost $10 a bowl, it was not affordable. Recently I saw this recipe at a Korean cookbook and found out that it was actually very easy to make at home. All I needed to buy were the fresh noodle and the black bean sauce at the Korean market and I was set to go.
Originally this recipe called for pork but I used chicken instead. Oh well, I only have chicken in my house and my mom also asked me to eat less pork. Overall, it tasted almost identical to the one I paid $10 for. So, I am happy that I can easily recreate this dish at home and save some money. I served it up with the Spicy Korean Radish.
