Paldo Ilpoom Jia Jangmen (Chajang Noodle) 200g (Pack of 4)

There are packet noodles and then there is Jjajangmen packet noodles! These are on another level to the usual bland, insipid noodles offered by western companies. As these noodles are not fried and contain NO MSG's they already tick off many benefits that do not exist with fried noodles. The noodles themselves are thicker than normal and have more of a "real" bite to them and the Jjajangmen sauce is rich, thick and loads of it. The noodles cook up in 5min and the sauce fares better if it is also heated so I put that in a bowl of boiling water for 1-2min. Works well as a snack on it's own or you can spice it up and make it into a full meal with added extras to your liking. Overall a tasty and healthier than others option.

I have tried quite a few different brands but this one is definitely my favourite. I like that it comes with a proper sauce packet and not just dried powder, however that does give it a shorter shelf life than the all dried. I love the taste of the sauce and the noodles are good quality too. I like to add rice cakes (tteok) to mine. Will definitely continue to purchase these ones in the future.

I’m a kdrama fan and likes Korean food. This one nearly hit the authentic taste. We’ll gonna order again soon. Easy to cook as well. You just follow the instructions.

The best black bean sauce I've tasted so far, noodles are a decent size so make a really decent meal. Will continue to buy long into foreseeable future.

These noodles are fabulous. Now bearing in mind I have never tasted freshly made black bean noodles, I still feel like these are probably the closest a dried version could get to the real thing. The sauce is thick, slightly sweet and coats the beautifully firm noodles so well. They are great alone, but even better with added meat and veggies (I have added sausage slices and broccoli). Also, I prefer them spicy so a bunch of added chilli flakes takes the noodles to the next level. So, in summary these are really delicious, and I will definitely be buying them again when I run out.

First time trying this, and this has no flavour nor the kind of what you’re expecting, it’s indeed salty / “sweet” and slight smoky too. I may not purchase again, I do love spicy food, but I guess Jjajangmen is for those who have sensitive bowels and low tolerance of spice. The noodles tend to go cold, so you will have to eat it within a minute lol.

At first I didnt really think much of the flavour and I thought they were 'meh', but after having a second try today they are my favourite thing ever. Love the flavour. I've always wanted to try this dish since I watch Korean dramas and they always eat jjajangmyeon but I didnt really want to spend a lot of money on the ingredients so I bought this. It comes in a pack of 4 which means they are just over £1 each which I think is great value considering that they are different from the normal super noodles you'd throw in a bowl with some powder broth and hot water. 10/10 would recommend. Get them if you're curious, I'm definitely buying these again.

Absolutely love these.

So tasty, the noodles are thicker than typical ramen and the sauce isn't powdered but comes in a pouch you warm in hot warm before squeezing out the contents on the cooked noodles. Totally divine.

Other versions have a dry powder. Not this one! A nice sauce and literally takes about 5 minutes to make. Closest thing to the real thing!

👌🏻

Great flavor and texture. Better than many other we have tried. Price which includes shipping makes it cheaper than some others in which shipping is more than the product.
