I had thought it was the same dish that I saw in the movie "Parasite", but it is different.
Chapagetti, is an instant noodle dish that resembles jajangmyeon.
Cha comes from chajang which is black bean sauce and pagetti is part of the word spaghetti.
The dish in the movie is apparently chapagetti mixed with neoguri (a spicy ramen) to get chapaguri
I thought I might not like this because I don't really care for chinese black bean sauce, but this was delicious.
Not spicy and the flavors were not overpowering.
I don't know that I would have this again, but I'm glad I tried this.
I've only had plain instant jajangmyun without meat, and each time I wanted to love it but ended up feeling disappointed I guess by its lack of meatiness. So it's good you had it with meat on your first try. I think instant ramen in general tastes a lot more complete with some kind of meat, even spam, added to it.

I thought that Anon was V at first until I saw "spam". LOL.
ReplyDeleteactually, the ramyun only adds spiciness to the jajamyun which is what I like, plus, you don't have to add the whole packet from the ramyun to adjust the spiciness. I add frozen veggies and meat to mine.
ReplyDeleteStill, not my favorite, but good once in a while.
