I haven’t bought a Jajangmyun pack in a while. It is quite expensive as an instant food.
But it is cheaper than going to a Chinese restaurant to have some.
This is what I bought the other day.
“Rice Jajangmyun” by CJ, Homeplus price :4,130 won/ 670g for 2 people (US $4.40)
The unique thing about this jajangmyun is its noodle are made of 100% Korean rice instead of wheat flour. It said “It has a nice chewy texture, because it is made of 100% rice” on the front of the packet.
Cooking is quite simple. (You will need two pots.) There is a picture on the back of the packet too.
Cooking for 2 people
Step 1. Boil some water in a pot (enough to cover the sauce packs), when it starts to boil put the unopened jajang sauce (the red packet) into the pot. (Heat it for about 3-4 minutes)
Or, if you have a microwave, open the jajang sauce pack and put it into the microwave (You heat the pack on its own, not in water), heat it for 1 minute and 30 seconds (in a 700W microwave)
Step 2 (At the same time as step 1). Have plenty of water in a second pot. When it starts to boil, put the noodles into the pot, boil them for about 4 minutes on medium heat. (Stir the noodles a bit so they don’t stick together.)
Step 3. Drain the water and rinse the noodles in warm water (for 1-2 seconds).
Step 4. Serve the noodles in a bowl. Pour out the sauce over the noodles. (You can decorate with green beans and cucumber, it is up to you.)

Hi ma lor,
I am sorry that you are having difficulty in finding instant noodles in the US. Have you tried Korean grocery stores in your town? (I guess you must have) I’ve never been to the US, so I can’t really give you local advise.
I looked up an online Korean grocery shop call Hmart, and here is the link you are looking for. It is not exactly the same brand, though I tried that one before too and it is quite good.
Also, I have a Jajangmyun recipe if you want to try from scratch. About the noodles, you can substitute with fresh udong noodles. (I think you can get this at a supermarket.)
where do you buy this black bean noddles from in the united states.. Minnesota to be exact. I cant find it anywhere!
