this is the Choripdong Roasted Black Bean Paste. I picked it up at Hmart today, there was fermented and also this “roasted” one, but i didn’t know which one was best and went with this one 😭 is this pre fried? Like when you fry the paste in oil to get rid of the bitterness, does this do that step for me? I just wanted to make regular old jjajangmyeon for the first time and i’m hoping this will allow me to do that, any help appreciated !

i got this in Korean Supermart i have been using it as jjajangmyeon paste hope i picked the correct one too someone please answer it
It is the pre-fried type (the red text). Even though this technically saves you the step of frying the paste, I would still fry the paste with a bit of oil to get the best flavor.
Yep, this is right.
Yes pre fried. Don’t forget cornstarch/flour slurry
Don’t forget to add a teaspoon of Miwon—it’s a total game-changer!
