this lady is literally the sweetest human alive

I love Jajangmyeon, and Koreans say Jajngmyeon is one of food you don't eat for your first date, it splash everywhere makes your date get bad impression of you, but I didn't care. I had it on my first date and I am married the one.:-)

When I live in Korea in the 90s I would order this from restaurant and a man on bike would bring it to my door. One of my favorite Korean dishes. I haven’t had it in over 20 years. Now I can make it myself. 😃 Thank you so much!

It's so sweet that Maangchi is still answering questions on her older videos :)

This video was posted 7yrs ago but I saw comments from 3 days ago and I don't think KZfaq messed up with the recommendation this time, I think we all want to know how to cook jajangmyeon 🤣🤣🤣

I should not be watching these videos at night, I'm seriously torturing myself

I tried this recipe and followed the exact instructions. My husband thought I ordered from a Korean restaurant it tasted so good! Thanks 😍

This is torture during quarantine and I can't find the ingredients.

Dear vegan and vegetarian friends, extra firm tofu or tempeh or seitan that has been marinated as you like works well as a substitute for the pork! This recipe is so delicious no matter how you eat it though, keep up the amazing work Maangchi!!!!

Note: Corn starch works the same way as potato starch: they both can thicken watery sauces :))

Hi Maangchi I just made this and it is amazing, one of my new favorite dishes! Thank you so much!!

Maangchi, you are one of the reasons I chose to do my studies in Korea! God bless you with lot of happiness!

"how long?" "follow your heart! :)" me: doing it forever

When she still hearts and replies to a recent comment even after 8 years. You can see the passion in her! Love that! Came here for the recipe but stayed because of her. 🥰

I never learned how to cook Korean food even though I was born in Korea. And have been buying kimchi from store until I saw you on KZfaq a month ago. I made Tongbaechoo kimchi and it’s better than store bought and much cheaper! Thank you, thank you and thank you!!!❤️

Honestly aisans have the best food, and I'm happy being an Asian!!!

I just made this and oh it was sooooo delicious!! Thank you Maangchi!!❤❤❤

My son and I just made it and loved it! We used fresh lo mein noodles and they worked great since we couldn't get to Korean market.

Someone submitted Vietnamese caption for this video! Thank you very much!

Chinese (Taiwan) caption is available now. One of my viewers submitted the caption! Thank you so much!

Made this tonight!!!!! So yummy!!!!

It's worth it to make ja jang myun at home instead of going out to a restaurant because in many places they skim on the vegetable and use inferior cuts of pork which doesn't have as much fat. At home, you can make ja jang muyn with chunky pieces of pork belly and vegetable, which makes a very hearty and substantial dish.

I made this yesterday with chicken and didn't have radish, but it still came out to be fantastic. My cousin and friend ate it too and they loved it. Thank you Maangchi.

I absolutely love your cooking. I am Native American and fell in love with Asian style cooking at a young age. I had lots of friends and family who have inspired me to keep cooking and your recipes are so easy to follow and I love every dish you make and enjoy watching you cook. Thank you so much 😊 you inspire me to keep my skills moving forward

I like her accent!

I've been following miss mangchi's recipe since 2016. It was so sad that Korean cuisine was not that famous in that time unlike before. I couldn't find any korean ingredients nerby. I'm so glad that that I can find it now here in my hometown. Your recipes are 짱!!

when you are muslim and also watch a recipe with pork lol...😂 can i use chicken instead of pork?

Watching it from 2023

I’ve been trying to learn recipes for my mother because she use to live with my uncle Mr lee as she called him, she lived with him and my aunt for a while. but he sadly passed 7 weeks before I was born due to cancer. And when my mom eats Korean food she always gets really happy! She always brings him up and says “Mr lee use to make this dish for me all the time.”

I work in a small Korean restaurant and the jjajangmyeon, GanJajjangMyeon, and Bokkaum-bap smell and taste soooo good. Thank you for uploading this, maybe now I can make my own!

the most underrated Korean food. This food deserve to be known as much as Kimchi

Maangchi. You really deserve all the success! Your food is really delicious. I can tell. Thank you for teaching us.

I am so jealous that you can eat all this delicious stuff, but I am even more jealous that you can make them in the first place!!! I don't even have a Korean grocery store near my house.. So even if I want to (and I do, so bad!!) I can't because I don't have the ingredients :( :( :(

Who are here because of kdrama? Want to cook some😂

I've never ordered this at the Korean restaurants but it always looked so good to me, so I decided to pick up a jar of black bean sauce from the Korean section of my local Chinese market. Daikon is such a nice contrast to the thickened sauce and even though I don't usually like potatoes, I enjoyed eating potatoes in this dish! Thank you for sharing another delicious recipe!

It's been too long since I've had this dish so I made it tonight. I made some substitutions to use what I had in the house but I'm very happy with the outcome. I used sweet potato, omitted the daikon radish (I don't use it enough to justify buying a large piece), a whole zucchini, and I boned/skinned some chicken thighs instead of the pork. I also used jarred black bean sauce but supplemented it with some soy paste. It's not what I had in Korea- and I didn't expect it to taste the same-, but it still turned out very tasty. I love your site and your books. Maybe one day when I am visiting Flushing, we'll run into each other.

I have been a fan of Korean culture for almost 2 years and ever sense been trying little bit of everything, and of course loving it in the end. One thing I have been waning to try is black bean noodles(seen to much of it in Kdramas lol). So i have gone to grocery store and bought black bean paste almost year ago, of course i opened it it tried it the way it was( it was kind of gross lol). So then I kind of got discouraged about it and put it a side. Until i came across this recipe. It looked very easy, ingredients wasn't that hard to find. In the end i cooked it few days ago. And i am amazed how great this dish is. Her recipe is amazing. Extra veggies and meat gives it even more flavors. It took no time to make it. Love it! Thank you.

My mum's Korean boarder was telling us, apparently in Korea you eat jajangmyeon sitting on the floor the first night you move into a new house 🍜

I made this tonight. after a few tries, i finally got it to be a food that is warm and comfy in the Upper Penninsula of Michigan. We love Maangchi!

Guess what I had for lunch and dinner? Jajangmyeon!!!! Thanks you so much and I made it for my Mama and and my sis!

I've been craving this for so long and I cant eat it cause theres no market who sells black bean paste where I live :(

Greek caption was submitted by Sofia Anna! Thank you so much, Sofia!

Can I use chicken or beef instead of pork. ? sadly no crispy, but is it possible and tasty ?

I like how u reply on every video even after 9-10 years 💖💖

I love how you always give alternatives for ingredients! thank you! this was very helpful x

German caption is up now thanks to a volunteer captioner!

i don’t normally cook so i was a bit intimidated but your directions are so easy to follow! and the cute funny commentary definitely help!

I tried the packet one my dad sent me and I liked it so I wanted to make it myself. Thanks so much for the recipe, it's much more simpler than I thought

aliz (KZfaq) submitted Hungarian caption for my Hungarian speaking viewers! Thank you so much, aliz!

i swear, watching you cook makes me feel so warm inside!

Can I use corn starch instead of potato starch? thanks in advance

I made this for the first time yesterday and I had to call my siblings to come over and try some. It’s so good!

love it! this tastes sooo good with kimchi ♥️ i substitute the pork with shrimps, which is also very delicious 😋

I am really obsessed with korean culture and ur videos helped me alot to learn about korean cuisines 😊 thnku so much 😍 u r doing a great job 😙 keep it up 👌👍👏

Thank you for all the recipes Maangchi :) I ordered your book yesterday and I can't wait. I went to H Mart yesterday and stocked my pantry for Korean cooking. I can't wait to make your Jjajangmyeon, ox-tail soup, octopus, miyeok salad and soup, and many more! After watching your channel for the last month I'm so excited to finally start making the recipes myself. I love food too, and I could talk about it and watch your recipes for hours (which I have). I would love to meet you and talk to you one day. Thank you for all you do!

Wow 😯 I was following you in 2013 and now in 2020 I came back to you and remembered the days of 2013, I was excited to cook you, I missed you🥺🥺I was in middle school and now I will graduate from university💔💔😩

By seeing your cooking I really want to eat it.... But I can't get these ingredient in our place. I fell soo sad 😔😔....

Made this for dinner tonight, tastes great! Thanks Maangchi!

I remember my first time making this I didn't have all the ingredient but it still tasted good. Then I finally got all the ingredients and it tasted amazing ❤ I am planning to make this again, it is one of my comfort dishes I like to eat.

i’m gonna get the courage to make this😍 can’t order from my favorite korean restaurant to stay safe and stay home but i miss jjajangmyon so much. i hope i do it right!

Made this today and came out so good!! 😋 I was so proud of myself that I took a picture and sent it to my parents haha

Thank you soooo much Maangchi! I’ve been craving for a nice authentic black bean noodles for ages!! It looks amazing!!!!

So this became one of our favorite dishes but with the situation right now I can't go and buy the right noodles but we desperately want to eat it. Can I use Udon instead? I could order them :)

I cook Korean recipes from maangchi and I have been always so afraid to cook jajiangmien because I love it too much. I didn't want to screw it up. And today, I tried it and it felt so amazing!! Healed my jajiangmien cravings immediately!!!! Yuuuummmmmmmm...... ♥♥

I tell you, this will be the first dish I'll find and eat when I go to Korea. 😊

I quite enjoy learning how to cook all the delicious foods! I’m writing all the recipes from each of your videos ❤️

Maangchi this is the 100th time that I've watch this! Couldn't cook it before because I can't find the paste but now I found it. Thank you for the amazing recipes and I hope you're doing great amidst this pandemic ❤

Will try this one today! Am craving and can't really go out in legit restaurant where I am due to the pandemic. Thank you!

Italian caption is up thanks to our volunteer translator!

Where to buy fermented black beans in Australia please

I'm making this for dinner tonight for my kids 😋

I've been wanting to learn how to cook Jjajangmyeon for a long time now and thanks to you for this video. I will try to cook it this weekend!

Just want you to know I made this today with a couple of modifications (couldn't find Korean radish or daikon) and it is amazing!!!!!!! Thank you for this!!!!

Hi Maangchi! Thank you for making this video! jajangmyeon is one of my favorite Korean dishes 😋 May I ask what kind of noodles do you use in this recipe?

Thank you sooo much for making videos in English Mam,can we use spaghetti or hakka noodles instead?

Im watching this again. I love how you cook. “Follow your heart” ㅋㅋㅋ

I just bought one and it was soooo goood i recomend this!!

I just finished eating this for lunch and I was not disappointed! I added the following: finely diced carrot, chinese cabbage and then I finely diced the Danmuji and put it in the sauce instead of the Daikon because I wanted the sourness. I made too much but that just means I can have it for dinner too ;) Thanks for the recipe!

How can you be so sweet ❤️❤️!! Just find anything to cover!! Thats the most sweetest and genuine tip I've heard!!

I love not only her recipes, but I can just listen to her talk about ANYTHING and I enjoy it very much. She could talk about the weather and I would LOVE it.💖💖💖💖💖💖💖😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 I want to try this recipe really soon.💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘

Thank you Maagchi for always showing the great recipes with clear instructions ! It always works very well!!

Hi Maangchi!! I finally found black bean paste and well I found a can of jjajang tuna at an asian market that i found and I really liked it. And since i had finally found the black bean paste I followed your instructions on making the sauce and simply replaced the pork with tuna and wow i was blown away! I made delicious tuna jjajangbap. I was in absolute heaven. Now I have enough left over tuna jjajang sauce for a few meals. This is gonna be a good week! :D Thanks for sharing your recipe!

Maangchi, you are the best! Your thorough and easy to follow directions coupled with your sweet, lovely attitude makes this video both educational and fun to watch! Thank you so much!

My first impression of Korean food was at the Hmart local to my university, and I ordered Jjajangbap from the food stalls inside. I remember falling in love with it, and then not finding it anywhere after I moved away. I was browsing KZfaq, saw this video, and that's how I discovered Maangchi's channel. I still use this recipe every time I find some jjajang :)

Malay caption is up now thanks to our volunteer translator!

I just finished making the sauce and now I'm waiting for the water to boil for the noodles. Thanks for the tutorial !

I made this for my friends today for the first time. Everyone loved it :)
