Chacharoni is Samyang version of Korean Jajangmyeon (or Jjajangmyeon) noodles. There are many options of instant Jajangmyeon in the market, so I am still trying to find the most delicious one. Samyang Chacharoni is the second instant Jajangmyeon I have tried after Nongshim Chapagetti. You can easily buy this from Lazada or Shopee.
Similar to Nongshim Chapagetti, it also uses olive oil, which is a healthier option. You will find the "halal" logo on the packaging, making it suitable for Muslim to consume.
Just like Nongshim Chapagetti, this is supposed to be eaten dry, without a broth. The method of preparation is basically the same, except that the black bean sauce comes in a thick paste instead in a powder form.
First, you will need to cook the noodles in water with the flakes. The flakes basically are made up of dried onion flakes, dried cabbage flakes and freeze dried green peas. Once the noodles are cooked, pour out most of the water. You will need to leave a few teaspoons of water, then add the black bean paste into the drained noodles and mix well.
I should have drain the noodles a little more before mixing the sauce into it. But even so, the sauce is still thicker than the Nongshim Chapagetti. The gooey black sauce coats and clings nicely to the chewy noodles.
I actually like Samyang Chacharoni more than Nongshim Chapagetti. Although the taste of it was also pretty mild, it was slightly saltier, less sweeter and richer in flavor than Nongshim Chapagetti. I can actually taste the black bean flavor, which was savory with a lightly sweet and bitter flavor.
I enjoyed eating Chacharoni with Kimchi and yellow pickled daikon radish. But it taste just as good even if you didn't eat it with Kimchi. It was a very satisfying meal. I would definitely repurchase this again.
