Indeed!

I'm Korean, but living in Ohio, and I've had the hardest time finding a good place to get this - I found two places that have it, but both places have weird flavors to their jjajangmyeon. So, out of desperation (and strong STRONG cravings), I watched this, got all the ingredients, and attempted the 7 minute version - and I LOVED IT. It was the flavor I'd had in my memory of good jjajangmyeon, and I admit, I made it two days straight because I loved it so much. I made mine with onion and diced zucchini (which is what I remembered having in the jjajangmyeons of the past), and I nearly cried when I tasted it. It reminded me of when I used to live in Korea as a little girl. Thank you SO much Aaron - now, 7 minute jjampong and tangsuyuk, please? xD

I never realized why I love Korean food and some Asian foods so much. Not only do we incorporate so many vegetables into our "unhealthy" foods, we use a lot of umami flavors. Like in spades. The pull of Korean food is Strong.

I gotta tell you. I have no problem cooking for myself everyday. Never felt sad for myself bud.

I have to tell this story: I watch this video, pause it when Aaron shows the ingrdients, I took screen shots and ran to a local Asian grocery. I wandered around comparing the Korean letters on my screen shot to the similar looking packages in the store. I asked another customer if she cooks with Black Bean Paste she said she did and I showed her the screenshot. I told her I was following a recipe from Aaron and Claire on KZread. Her eyes lit up and she said "Yes! Claire eats everything he makes! What are you making?.. Ah! The famous Jjahjanmyeon!" Then she told me of another Asian store that has more Korean items. I went and found the exact same ingredient he used! Aaron and Claire you are famous in New York!😃

Just tried your 7 minutes recipe, and I really love it. The flavour I think is even better than the Korean restaurant around my neighbourhood. I replaced the chicken stock with chicken cube and just add little bit of water. For the fresh noodle I replaced it with dried chinese style noodle and it works perfectly as well. I also added some zucchini for the sauce also.The 7 minutes method definitely is a lot simpler, just the preparation before cooking takes some time. Definitely gonna try it again. Thanks! 😍

Made the 7-minute version for the first time tonight - it was SO EASY and tasted delicious! I don't eat pork, SO it's impossible to get jajangmyeon from restaurants in California. I substituted with some beef, and it was great! Thank you Aaron and Claire!!

The only downside is just, we're in quarantine and... the price is pretty expensive. So, thank you for the recipe. I'll grab Korean black bean paste when I do my next grocery shopping.

I just tried an instant one, and put fatty meat and vegetables and things in it, it was a little bland. Not bad, but I could have made the actual dish in maybe one or two minutes more! Sometimes we get lucky and find fatty pork meat in chunks, it's pretty tender and delicious and not expensive. So, if I'm going to do all THAT, why not fry some CHUNJANG in there, too! And my friends, I will be frying it in the pork oil!!!!

Substitute the meat with tofu (fried or whatever type you like), eggplant, and/or mushrooms (Shiitake, oyster, porcini). Substitute the chicken broth with any vegetable broth or kelp dashi. And Vegan Oyster Sauce do exist if you are full vegan. (Tip for eggplant: typically you'd want to fry eggplants to get the best texture out of them but steaming them also works as an alternative if you don't want to use too much oil)

I just made Jjangmyeon for breakfast this morning, and it's the second time I made it. The first time, the Black Bean Paste was more of a dark brown, and today, I used the same brand as is in your video. I absolutely love it! I used rice linguini noodles since it's all I had, but I'll tell you, I liked that better than the fresh noodles I used before. Just a personal preference. I might add a bit more ginger the next time, and let it sit for a couple hours. Thank you for all your wonderful recipes, and say hi to Claire.

Love this sauce so much! I like your combination. One cooking and one proofing. I am a cook myself and I really enjoy it when someone enjoys my food. I think you know what I mean.😉 Thanks for sharing!
