Can you add beef instead?
this was made a while ago, but is it possible for me to substitute the pork belly for something like tofu? im a vegetarian and have always wanted to try jjajangmyeon!
O prato mais gostoso da culinária coreana… Onde comi tinha carne no molho pq aqui não tem?
bro i had this playing while getting ready for bed mustve looped about 80 times
MSG not healthy
I’m always nervous about pork belly because I door know when it is fully cooked
What can I do if I don’t have a black bean paste?
I mean is there is any recipe for it?
followed the recipe and it turned out really good!
Can I skip the pork?
Can skip zucchini
It’s actually from China…
can i substitute the oyster sauce?
From this recipe I believe that the noodle will be flavorful and tasty. Unfortunately, I tried Jajangmyeon twice from two different Korean restaurants and they tasted so bland to me. Disappointed that I don't want to try or buy Jajangmyeon again. Would really love to give this recipe a try.
most things taste good when you dissolve a pound of sugar into it…
I’m so impressed with your pronunciation of JaJangMyun 😂😂❤❤❤
Yummy😋😋😋
I think this is my favorite Chinese -Korean dish. It is soo addictive! The flavors are both comforting and exciting!!
How to make the black bean paste ?
Leviticus 11:4-7 HNV — "'Nevertheless these you shall not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those who part the hoof: the camel, because he chews the cud but doesn't have a parted hoof, he is unclean to you. The coney, because he chews the cud but doesn't have a parted hoof, he is unclean to you. The hare, because she chews the cud but doesn't part the hoof, she is unclean to you. The pig, because he has a split hoof, and is cloven-footed, but doesn't chew the cud, he is unclean to you.
Is the MSG mandatory? 😢
I like the Chinese version. The Korean version has no taste to me.
Zha Jiang translates to fried sauce. I saw a chinese version ( not the Hong kong version) video and almost the same ingredients. Both delicious.
I wish we had black bean paste where I live. I might have to order it online to finally make this from scratch!
Jjajangmyeom is Korean? Isn't it Chinese.
찐이네
Bro wtf this is not Korean it’s Chinese omg
Can I do it without pork it's Haram ( it means it forbidden in my religion)
I ate this dish when I was in Southkorea❤❤❤
Jajangmyeon does not contain red pepper powder. However, you can add red pepper powder after cooking according to your taste.
Does MSG pay u?
is it just dashi broth or is it a dashi mixture with mirin, soy sauce, and shao xing?
Of all the pork belly I've seen in US, the one in your video is the most simillar to what I used to eat in Korea. It's quite hard to find Korean-style pork belly in San Francisco. Lucky you!
New sub! Looks absolutely delicious 😋
this is a chinese dish, not korean. It's from beijing. the name means "fried sauce noodles"
It’s Chinese food
If I devour that much oil, I’m afraid that US gonna kidnap me
Chinese dish not Korean.
Savedddd 🤤
Thank you chef
Why would u say fry the black bean paste on your instructions now i burnt mine!!!!!!
Black noodles
There is msg in oyster sauce so adding more is unnecessary
Ohh msg. Uncle Roger bait. Before him, I didn't know that msg was a thing.
Wow It's looks delicious ❤❤❤
John John men?
