Noodle Journey Episode 66: Paldo Jjajangmen

Notes since filming:

This is the gold standard for mild jjajang (black bean) noodles. If you try this and don’t like it (which is totally cool; it can be an acquired taste), don’t bother with any other jjajangmen because you probably won’t like it.

Original video description:

Now that I know I’m a fan of black bean sauce, I thought I’d review what seems to be the most popular non-spicy variety currently on shelves. This heavy pack of noodles is Paldo’s Jjajangmen.
