Jjajiangmyun

Been watching an unprecedented amount of K-drama. Has given me a hankering for all things Korean, including food and drink. And do you wonder, given that food and drink describe the major passions of my life. 

From my favourite Korean cooking site - jjajiangmyun recipe

And from another site, it confirms my suspicions that confirms that it's similar to the chinese jia jiang mian but the taste is different http://www.sunnysideuprecipes.com/2010/02/ja-jang-myun.html

So it looks like I can't use the soya bean paste but would have to get real Korean black bean paste. Yes, one day I'll go to the Asian grocer and get the ingredients including the special jiajiangmyun!
