Ja-jang-myong. This is a Chinese fermented black bean noodle dish. Hugely popular in China and then adopted by Koreans. What is popular now is the Korean version that you're having. Also cucumbers, not zucchini.

I'm old now but watching you makes me think we could have been friends when I was your age. You never fail to make me smile. I think you say more words in one video than I do in a week.

The one you are eating, Ja-Jhang-Meyeun is a korean chinese black bean paste noodles. It was created by Chinese migrants in South Korea, its considered Korean Chinese cuisine. It's a creamy saucy starch thicken black bean sauce and starch made of primarily pork and onions and sometimes zucchini and or potatoes. As opposed to the original Zha-jiang-mien of China which is made of a whole black bean ground pork mixture (not saucy) and almost 15 ( more or less) different sides that is brought to the guest and the guest picks and choose what sides they want in the mien. Both noodle dishes have wheat based noodle usually hand pulled. The one you are eating is Korean Chinese food. Authentic Chinese food (not panda express) serves ohng choy or tao myu in garlic when in season and not just bok choy, gailan or choy sum steamed served with oyster sauce. And of course everyone know the dim sum spots. I hope that helped may your Chinese New Year this past February 10th 2024 bring you much longevity and prosperity in the year of the dragon.

Jajangmyeon is a casual, comfort noodle dish that is smothered in a savory black bean sauce. It's part of a Korean Chinese hybrid cuisine. It’s black bean noodles. I always wanted to try it I hope I can try it. Looks so delicious especially with kimchi. It’s originally from China but adapted to Korea so now it’s very popular in Korea. I’ve seen people eating black bean noodles with sweet / sour pork .

Ohhhh I love your channel so much!! I always tell my husband "I think she is just too damn cute" because you are!!❤

I can tell the dumplings are legit because of the dipping sauce. They put green onions in and you know when there are green onions it is the real deal.

Hiii Ashley! It’s Asian black beans that are slightly sweet and umami. The origins are Chinese but the Chinese version is heavy on the minced meat not so much on the veggies. When the Chinese came to Korea they made a saucier version with a bunch of dice of vegetables in it to accommodate for our taste buds and now it’s probably the #1 food ordered for delivery nowadays in Korea. I’m so glad u enjoyed it because it’s one of my childhood favorites!

I feel like the word she was looking for was 'savory ' or 'umami'

The sauce is usually made with salted or fermrnted black soybeans and garlic and a bunch of other stuff. I make blackbean garlic sauce at home as the fermented black beans are super cheap and last forever in the fridge. They are like little nuggets of super concentrated soy sauce. I do test each batch i buy for salt as some can be more salty but you can soak them to reduce the salt. My favorite sauce is a mix of blackbean garlic and tangerine sauce mixed together. On eggplant and pork with some carrots and onion and zucchini its a rice killer.

The first two syllables are like zha zha as in Gabor. Zha-zhang-mee-yong. And also omg the smokeyness, the chewy bouncy noodles, the delicious crunch from the veggies. Korean version is my jam. Another favourite is Champong 🤤.

This is a Korean noodle dish. You should try Jam Pong the hot spicy soup with seafood. It’s very flavorful!

You literally crack me up🤪😜

I love that you're trying jjajjangmyeon!!!

All looks so goooood

I love it. When I find a brand new dish that I love, my own brain also goes into vocabulary shock 😂😂. It’s like all I can focus on is “shut up keep eating this magical new stuff”. ❤. Tastes goooood. Tastes…. Brown? 😂🤣

I need to see what I eat in a day, week, month, forever!! Love yah Ashley!! 💕💕💕

So excited to find your real page.❤ love your videos.

Ashley… how do you manage only eating half an egg roll lol, very sweet for the wife, those noodles do look heavy but delicious 😋 & thank you for reminding me of gravy hehe reminded now I can take my roast out of the freezer & my gosh those dumplings also looked amazing 🤩

WOMAN.. I LOVE QQ KITCHEN! :) Always have good food there.

Jajangmeyon is delicious I make it at home now because the restaurants never put enough meat in it but it is made from black bean paste

Zha-jjang-mian is the Chinese dish and is different to what you are eating. What you are eating is Jjajjangmyeon, a Korean adaptation on the dish with a completely different flavor and toppings.

QQ is so good. I always try to eat there when I’m in the area.

Ash giving us her best Disturbed impression at the end.

Think she was looking for the word "Umami" maybe lol

Yesss! I love this dish, and I definitely always explain the taste to others as a rich brown gravy! I'm glad someone else thinks that❤

I’m not an expert. Without giving you a whole Chinese lesson. “Zha-gee ahng-mee ann”… phonetically. The hyphen marks a syllable. The space means you have to pronounce the 2 sounds together. Hope this helps. “Zha” like pi-zza, za! “Gee ahng” like peon, but with gee. “Mee ann” like meandering, without the -dering. Have fun.

Jajangmyeon is korean. It is literally translated to black bean paste (jajang) and noodles (myeon) in korean. The chinese black bean noodles are a completely different kind of dish and taste completely different. Jajangmyeon is the korean version of black bean noodles and have been around in korea for 100’s of years. The only common thing between Korean (jajangmyeon) and chinese black bean noodles is that the sauce is made from black beans. They are pronounced different, spelt different taste completely different and even look different. One simple google search, or a visit to a chinese restaurant then a korean restaurant, proves it. That is jajangmyeon and you cannot get that at a chinese restaurant. You get a different kind of black bean noodles. Can chinese people stop lying. Yes, you guys were the first to make black bean noodles and this dish was inspired by chinese but it is a korean dish and has been a staple in korea since the 1800s. You guys cannot make jajangmyeon (most korean moms know how to make it) and we cannot make your black bean noodles.

All that M-S-G😂 makes it taste delicious and Brown🤷‍♂️

I love black bean noodles I always add brown sugar and onions to mine

This is definitely Korean. Ja- Jang- Myon.

Have you gone to balance grille?? I absolutely love that place! 5 spice chicken and the bang bang tacos are amazing ❤❤❤

I was trying to remember if you had tried Burger Kings candied bacon whopper. I didn't know about it and when I saw a sign I ran over to try it. They were out of the bacon jam that goes on it but I tried it without the jam. It needs to be a permanent menu item! Without the jam, it was so good! I'm curious how it is with the jam, but don't think it needs it.

Im from Scotland and it looked okay pike noodles with blackbean sauce we would normally get it with crispy noodles though yum

I Need To Try That

I love that you judge a place off their egg rolls. I judge an Asian place based on their egg drop soup. If you can’t make egg drop correctly then I don’t even trust you to cook anything else.

The burp!!

korean jajaang myun is different than chinese jajamyun. but i loveeeeeeeee Korean-Chinese version of jajjang myun its savory and hearty so gooood. the depth in flavor omggg i love the sauce over rice too. jajjangmyun is considered chinese food in korea but their version is nom i think each region in china has their version of zzhazamyun too. so you might find or try different variations of it ♥️

it’s pronounced jah-jahng-myun. it’s a korean dish that has chinese influence. you’re supposed to eat it with some raw onion and pickled radish to balance out the heaviness of the noodles!

Omg we in the same area.

“Pour it on doooown”

Black bean noodles!

I love Korean food but I couldn’t get with the black bean sauce on this one. It always looks amazing though.

Love me some jajangmyeon! 🤤

😋

🥰😍🥰🥰😍🥰🥰😍

Lol comments going hard on this being a Korean dish when she got it from a Chinese restaurant. Not saying it’s not Korean, but it’s this restaurant’s version of it being Chinese. It’s a Chinese dish.

that's a Korean dish. pronounced jah jah yang

Nah. I only like a few Chinese dishes, and I am not willing to explore more of that cuisine. I do love chicken chow mein, spring rolls/egg rolls/shrimp rolls, chicken w/broccoli, egg drop soup, assorted dumplings, fried rice and -- l guess that's it. Oh, yes - all teas!

Brown Food Is Good!!!!!!!

🫶🏻🌻

Za jiang meein is how I say it but don’t emphasize the ee

Squid ink pasta
