Chicken Jajangmyeon

OPEN for ingredients! Trust me when I say this is the easiest and most flavourful Chicken Jajangmyeon (Jjajangmyeon / Jajangmyun) you will ever make! I went through many - and I mean many - renditions of Chicken Jajangmyeon before finalising on this recipe.

Jajangmyeon is traditionally made with pork belly. This recipe uses chicken and fully Halal, making it great for those of us who don't consume pork. I promise you this recipe tastes just as rich, fatty and ultra flavourful... and it's super easy to make!

- 2-3 Servings of Jajangmyeon noodles
- 5 tbsps of chunjang or Korean Black Bean Paste
