Based upon a dish named Jajangmyeon, also known for “Black Bean Noodles” The noodles are wonderfully tender with a good chew The stacked Black bean sauce, brownish-black hue, is well-balanced and rich (Sweet, Salty, Savory) of the noodles would go quite nicely with crisp green vegetables or kimchi if it's handy No spice at all in this one, so have no fear!
