About this deal
Every time I’ve eaten a bowl of jjajangmyeon I’m left with a substantial amount of sauce left at the bottom of the bowl. It also made a prominent appearance in the Academy Award–winning movie Parasite, when a character requests “jjapaguri,” a mixture of Chapagetti and Neoguri. Adding to that, the special ingredient in it is the black bean hot sauce, which adds the traditional Korean feel by enhancing the taste of the dish altogether.
I myself have some slight discomfort when I see squid ink pasta so I can’t fault someone entirely for being a little skeptical when seeing a bowl of the ol’ black stuff. Ottogi Jin Jjajang Ramen Smoked Black Bean Flavour is a delicious and easy-to-make instant noodle soup that is inspired by the classic Korean dish, Jajangmyeon. Sure, the Nuclear Buldak made me cry, but it never made me thought that I was going to suffer a heart attack. Of all the flavors, Buldak Ramen 2x Spicy Hot Chicken Flavor is the spiciest flavor with a scoville rating of 10,000 SHU and the Jjajang Hot Chicken Flavor is the least spicy with a scoville rating of 1,920 SHU. It originated in Incheon, Korea where Chinese migrant workers started making zhajiangmian (noodles served with fried bean sauce) in the late 19th century.For home cooking, you can find ready-made fresh noodles in the refrigerator section of Korean markets, which are preferred. If you are very sensitive to sodium, use the full black bean seasoning packet and half of the spicyseafood packet.
Some wrap it with kimchi for nuclear kimchi rolls, others add cheese, corn, and even pork belly on top for a complete meal. Or you can briefly cook diced potatoes in the microwave because it takes longer to cook potatoes than the other vegetables. And with 0 servings per pack, you'll always get maximum portion control each time you cook up a batch! Meanwhile, when the water starts boiling, open the noodle packages and drop the noodles into the boiling water.Along with jjamppong (짬뽕, spicy seafood noodle soup) and tangsuyuk (탕수육, sweet and sour pork or beef), it’s a popular Korean-Chinese dish.
