Black Bean Sauce for Noodles

Korean Black Bean Bean Sauce, or Jajang, is rich and savory-sweet. It’s made with chunjang,  a salty, sweet, and savory black bean paste. It’s perfect on chewy, thick noodles like udon. You can add stir fried cabbage or other veggies as well as meat like chicken, beef, or pork, if you like. You can use it in Jajangmyeon.
