One of the most popular comfort South Korean food is the jajangmyun, or noodles with black bean sauce. Its origin goes back to the Chinese zhajiangmian dish, literally meaning fried sauce noodles, from the Shangdong region of China. This dish is the main item on the current drama Wok of Love, a Chinese-Korean restaurant run by gangsters. Jajangmyun is made with black bean sauce, pork and vegetables.
