We (
Samuel &
Audrey) go out for a
Chinese Korean meal in
Suwon,
South Korea. The meal is a delicious combination of gunmandu (군만두) and Jajagmyeon (
자장면) *alternate spelling: jjajangmyeon (짜장면)* which is essentially fried Chinese Korean dumplings and a black bean noodle dish.
That
Backpacker (Audrey) shows her refined eating habits casually nibbling on each given dish whereas
Nomadic Samuel (Samuel Jeffery) simply devours everything in sight like a caveman on a beyond empty stomach.

Jajagmyeon (alternately spelled jjajangmyeon; 자장면; 짜장면) is a popular
Korean dish, derived from the
Chinese dish zhajiangmian. It consists of wheat noodles topped with a thick sauce made of chunjang (a salty black soybean paste), diced meat and vegetables, and sometimes also seafood.
Jajangmyeon was first created in the city of
Incheon, where early Chinese migrants to
Korea began to settle in the
Korea under Japanese rule. In
1905, the dish was arguably first developed in a
Chinese restaurant called Gonghwachun (공화춘; 共和春) (literally means "
Republican Spring") in Incheon. The city of Incheon sponsored the "
100 year anniversary of the birth of jajangmyeon" in
2005.[1]
The dish originated from zhajiangmian (炸醬麵, literally "fried sauce noodles") in
China's Shandong region. Korean-style jajangmyeon has also been gaining popularity in
China recently.
Mandu are dumplings in
Korean cuisine. They are similar to pelmeni and pierogi in some
Slavic cultures. The name is a cognate to the names of similar types of meat-filled dumplings in
Central Asia, such as
Turkish manti,
Kazakh manty, and Uzbek manti.
In Korean cuisine, mandu generally denotes a type of filled dumplings similar to the
Mongolian buuz and Turkish mantı, and some variations are similar to the Chinese jiaozi and the
Japanese gyoza
. If the dumplings are grilled or fried, they are called gunmandu (군만두); when steamed jjinmandu (찐만두); and when boiled, mulmandu (물만두). [1]
Hello! We're at a Chinese restaurant right now and we just ordered some Jjaja Myeong, which is a
Korean / Chinese dish and it is basically noodles with black bean paste on top. It looks really good. I'm going to try it.
What do we got here? This is the Jjajang Myeong. It is noodles with a black bean paste gravy sauce on top. It has some onions in here. And what else? I'm not sure. Can you pick some more up for us? Very slowly this time.
Nice - bring it up higher.
Yummy.
Let me get it untangled first. so we can actually take a bit.
Okay, that might work.
Slowly.
Delicious is it? Yummy? Are we having a good time?
Oink oink.
Here are the black bean noodles. We're eating
Jaja Myeong. It looks tasty.
I am going to devour this right now.
How do they taste Sam? You are just nodding your head. So as not to choke. They are delicious.
Okay, so now we're going to try the gun mandu. It is basically fried dumplings and inside it has an assortment of different foods including noodles, vegetables and perhaps some meat. I'm not sure yet.
I'll have to try it and tell you. It sounds wonderful.
This is the gunmandu. It is a deep-fried dumpling and I'm just going to dip it into the soy sauce.
Dunk it in. Have a bite. It is nice and salty.
Salty goodness? Take another bite.
Yeah.
So the gunmandu is a special kind of Chinese style mandu. It is a special kind of Chinese style dumpling. How it is different from other
Korean dumplings is that it is fried. It is extra salty. Is it ever tasty. I am just going to devour this now.
How does it taste Sam?
Okay, so this is actually a really affordable meal that we tend to eat very often. We only paid three thousand Won for the noodles, which is about three
USD and four thousand Won for the dumplings. That is about a six or seven dollar meal.
Yep, and it is delicious. It is very filling and very tasty. It is a great backpackers meal, isn't it? Exactly because we are saving money.
