So sweet and so spicy! This is one of my favorite Korean noodle dishes. So, when my 7 year old students decided they wanted to make this crazy easy Asian dish, believe me, I totally encouraged it! Serve with ice cold spicy Korean Kimchi, hot crispy Korean Spring Rolls and Hot & Sour Soup. Oh, and be sure to NEVER forget the frosty Asian beer in thick frozen mugs! ;0)

    Jjajangmyeon is a comforting Chinese-Korean noodle dish that is made with a rich and savory black bean paste. It's umami, has a subtle sweetness, and a slightly earthy/smoky flavor profile.This dish was brought to Korea by Chinese immigrants in the 1900s and Koreans adapted it with their own version of a black bean sauce called Chunjang.It's comfort in a bowl! I love eating this with a side of yellow pickled radish to balance the richness of the sauce!#koreanrecipes #chineserecipes #noodlerecipes #asianfusion #noodles

    I do love giving my students timed challenges. Especially ones with a limited amount of ingredients. Tonight's challenge was an Asian themed dish created in 15 minutes with - only 15 ingredients pre-chosen by me at their disposal. 😈 [muwahaha!]Guess what? They all nailed it! Especially this student! 😆Anyway, overall this dish presents as primarily spicy and slightly salty. But, feel free to employ most any Asian sweet sauce for an added contrast. 🍬 But, know that additional pickled ginger juice dashed on noodles works quite well if seeking added sweetness.

    So easy! Your garlic loving guests will adore this! This is what's referred to as a dry Asian noodle dish. Although, the noodles are very moist upon serving.This is one of our favorite spicy garlic dishes! Be careful of serving and using soy sauce. It'll definitely overwhelm this dish with sodium. If opting for soy sauce, use it sparingly.
