This sauce needs to be cooked before eating and cannot be used directly from the jar. Heat 2-3 tablespoons of oil in a pan, add the black bean sauce, and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. You can then add vegetables, meat, or noodles to create your desired dish.

This product is perfect for making authentic jajangmyeon (Korean-Chinese noodles), jajangbap (black bean rice), and various stir-fried dishes. Many customers at Korean grocery Europe locations use it to recreate restaurant-style Chinese-Korean fusion dishes. You can also mix it with vegetables and pork or seafood for a complete meal.

This sauce works excellently with fresh noodles, steamed rice, diced onions, zucchini, and pork belly or seafood. The rich, savory flavor available at Asian market Porto and other specialty stores complements both vegetables and proteins. Adding a small amount of sugar while cooking enhances the traditional sweet-savory balance.

Store the unopened jar in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, refrigerate and use within 2-3 weeks for best quality. The 250g size typically serves 3-4 people for jajangmyeon, making it popular among families shopping at Korean food Seville stores and other European locations.
