What is "jajangmyeon"?

Jajangmyeon is a popular Korean-Chinese noodle dish that features thick, hand-made wheat noodles that are served with a savory and flavorful sauce made from black bean paste, diced pork, and a variety of vegetables such as onions, zucchini, and potatoes. The sauce is typically seasoned with a blend of spices such as garlic, ginger, and soy sauce, which gives it a bold and aromatic flavor. The dish may also include ingredients such as seafood, tofu, or mushrooms, which are stir-fried with the sauce and then served over the noodles. Jajangmyeon is often served hot and is a popular comfort food in Korea. It can be customized to suit different tastes and dietary preferences, and is often served with pickled radish on the side.

4. When I made the jajangmyeon, the black-bean noodles where we actually fried up the scallions first, toss the scallion aside, but then the oil became infused with the scallion flavor that eventually when I made the sauce, actually I feel like it gave it a lot more depth.
