I'm obsessed with noodle dishes so I thought I might try making one myself.

Jjajangmyeon is a popular Korean noodle dish that consists of black bean sauce, Asian noodles, radishes, vegetables, and meat. There are different variations but this is my favorite variation that I got from a popular YouTube Chef named Maangchi.

What I like best about this dish is the chewy noodles combined with the black bean sauce that adds a good salty savory taste to the dish. I also added pan fried pork belly to the dish for meat to give it that meaty taste!

Unfortunately I was too busy to take my own cooking photos but the ingredients are as follows and instructions can be found on her site (also with great photos):
