Here’s one found at Evergreen Asian Market in Everett, Washington. This looks like another Korean style out of Vietnam. Let’s give it a shot.
Vifon Jjajangmyeon Black Bean Sauce Noodle – Vietnam
A distributor / import sticker (click to enlarge).
Detail of the packaging (click to enlarge). Looks to be meat free but check for yourself. To prepare, boiil noodle block and veg sachet in 600ml water for 4 minutes. Drain, saving 2tbsp. Add everything back into a pot including remaining sachets. Finally, stir well and enjoy!
An instant noodle block.
A large powder base sachet.
A sachet of seasoned oil.
A sachet of vegetables.
Finished (click to enlarge). Added scallion and sesame seed. Noodle came out decently enough – thicker than usual gauge for a Vietnamese noodle, emulating Korean style. The flavor wasn’t too off, however the stirring I did, which was ample, didn’t do the job to break down the powder base. In other words, I ended up with a clump of powder in my mouth. This I’d normally adhere to user error, however, I did stir it quite a bit. Given that… 3.25 out of 5.0 stars. EAN bar code 8935311102476.
