- So, it's monsooning, and I'll be damned if we're going outside in this rain, so we stayed inside and ordered a bunch of Korea's version of Chinese food, which is SOOO not like any Chinese food we've ever had. We don't even know Chinese people who ate Chinese food like this. What the?

I remember watching this when I was still in high school, 7 years later I'm still binge watching these as a working adult! I feel like Simon and Martina accompanied me through my growing years :')
YES. I'm chinese and you CAN get jjajangmyeon in china...(different by a bit but fundamentally the same dish) the chinese romanization spelling is zhajiangmian.
however, you can only get this food in northern china as it is not really part of the southern chinese culture. you can get it in Beijing, for example
Agreed, and I have no idea why their Chinese friends said it did not exist in China...
Chengbo Li probably lived in the south
Chengbo Li It doesn't really exist in the same form.
Chinese food is really interesting, there's so many different variations and entire food culture is different depending on the part of China, so Chinese immigrants from different China regions brought certain kind of foods and styles with them. That's how you've got Korean-Chinese food which is different from American-Chinese food and so on, it's really great in my opinion all the different takes on food you can find in one single country.
NO1xANIMExFAN It's actually quite different. I tasted both and several versions.
As a muslim fasting in ramadan firstly please do not apologise. I just appreciate the fact that you made mention of ramdaan in the first place.
Secondly when i am fasting (uk 18 hours) i love watching your videos. Lol btw i loved your sushi video..
Excellent team you guys are. Best wishes and best of luck for the future.
+Ace11 Sarcens that's a very lovely of you to say. Thank you!
I think so too. Even if i live in sweden so it's maybe more hours to fast donno, but I think that they mentiond it was good ;)
It's Ramadan now, I'm fasting and I'm inexplicably drawn to the FAPFAP videos more than the others. It's hunger pang therapy...
My
Every time I fast I watch food videos and suddenly I'm not hungry lol
Actually, my mom cooks jajangmyeon all the time for me and she's Chinese. It really depends on which region chefs aim to make the food taste like since China is so vast and there are many cultures and a variety of tastes. In chinese it's called Zhajiangmian (炸酱面) and although it tastes different from the Korean version, there are families I've known that make zhajiangmian with the same consistency of Korean chinese food. In Beijing (where my mom is from) they use different kind of paste, and if you look it up, each region in china prepares the sauce and paste in so many different ways it's absolutely fascinating how versatile chinese food is!
Agreed. My grandma is from Shanghai and she usually does Zhajiangmian with tianmianjiang and doubanjiang. It's da best.
wow, that sounds so good! haha I'm so close to drooling just thinking about it
My family owns a restaurant in the US that sells 炸酱面 and Korean people come and for some reasons expect us to sell Jajjangmyeon and Jjamppong... especially the old people, they get hecka dissapointed. But it's like...Real Chinese 炸酱面 be good too! I really like putting lots of cucumbers in mine :D do you guys put cucumbers in yours?
jjajangmyun is Chinese it's called zhajiangmian and its black bean noodles
but it does taste very different from the Korean one
L Da did I say the contrary?
+L Da Someone's being a gwumpy wumpy pants.
+L Da
You realize that in the video they ask if there's a Chinese version of it right?
You're a fucking idiot.
Chinese jajiangmian was made using fermented flour paste (甜面酱） and not black bean paste :)
+L Da fail
The Chinese food in North American Chinatowns are mainly Cantonese cuisine which is in southern China. Jjajangmyeon is from the Northern provinces which are much closer to Korea. The early Chinese immigrants to Korea were also mostly from the northern provinces.
Ken Chung That's the point @ Eat your kimchi
Simon brought up Ramadan. HAHAHAHA I'm totally not binge watching your videos to get me through these 20 hours.
I lived in China for pretty much my entire life, Jjajang myeon is only a traditional local food from Beijing. So many Chinese from other parts of China might not know of this, but it is pretty common, or at least I thought it was. The Chinatown in Philly actually DOES have jjajang myeon in several different restaurants, so yeah...
Philly's Chinatown is the first place I ever had zhajiangmian. So good! In addition to the Korean version, Japanese also have their own style called jaa jaa men.
Curry originated in India. There is the Indian curry and the Japanese curry. They taste very different and the texture is different as well. Indian curry is Indian and Japanese curry is Japanese.
Black bean noodle originated in China. There is the Chinese zah jiang mian and the Korean jjajangmyeon. They have very different taste and texture - the Korean jjajangmyeon is more viscous & thick while the Chinese zah jiang main is more watery. Zah jiang mian is Chinese and jjajangmyeon is Korean. Jjajangmyeon is known and regarded everywhere in South Korea as one of the country’s tastiest fast food.
As a Chinese, there is Jjajangmyun (炸酱面 which is in Chinese) in many provinces (although mostly northern) in China. Certainly, the Korean one tastes different. But the looking and pronunciation are very similar. Another example is Ramen (拉面 which is in Chinese) which is a kind of popular noodles in Japan. The looking and pronunciation are also very similar with that in China. Of course, the Japanese one has its own styles. Even in different provinces in China, there are many different flavors. Forget about the Canadian Chinese Food! Most of the Chinese restaurants overseas are originally from the Southeastern China. Their main basic food is rice not noodles which is eaten mostly in Northern China, let along all the abroad Chinese food has changed its flavor according to the local eating habits.
yes,agree.
in general,southern china is not good at making noodles.most delicious noodle is from northern and western.
emilia linh Yes, agree!
Wth... I never heard of this in hk ugh
MrZyg86 Jjajangmyun (炸醬麵, and it's originally from Shāndōng region, 山东半岛, found this from Korean Wikipedia..) was first introduced to Korea by the Chinese immigrants near Incheon Port, a port on the west side of Korea.. For it was very inexpensive, delicious, and easy to make, it became very popular since then.. It's one of my favorite food even though I know that it's not healthy at all.. Hope this help!!!! :)
thanks for explaining here. I was in pain when I listened to Simon and Martina complaining about Chinese food....
I miss this so much
they have this noodle in China but in a totally different way (sauce, meat, etc.). and it varies in different districts
Most of the Chinese food in the western world is Cantonese Chinese food. Jjajangmyun is a very typical northern Chinese food. I'm from beijing and that's one of the traditional beijing food. It tastes a bit different in Korea but the idea is similar.
Curry originated in India. There is the Indian curry and the Japanese curry. They taste very different and the texture is different as well. Indian curry is Indian and Japanese curry is Japanese.
Black bean noodle originated in China. There is the Chinese zah jiang mian and the Korean jjajangmyeon. They have very different taste and texture - the Korean jjajangmyeon is more viscous & thick while the Chinese zah jiang main is more watery. Zah jiang mian is Chinese and jjajangmyeon is Korean (jjajangmyeon gained popularity overseas because of kdramas).
It’s that simple.
@@rkim9117 只是你们韩国人以为你们的炸酱面和我们的炸酱面区别很大😂。事实是中国每个省的面积都比韩国大。每个省的炸酱面彼此之间的区别非常大。你们韩国人就是一群乡下人没见过大世面！
ohmygosh i cant believe this was 8 years ago
Simon's post-apocalyptic, steampunkish fanny pack stresses me out.
Does anybody know where he got it
+michelle rose etsy I think
Jajangmyeon wasn't directly taken from the Chinese, I think- it was a Korean take on a Chinese noodle dish called "zhajiangmian". The Koreans, like the Japanese, adopted a lot of stuff from Chinese culture, not entirely by choice at times.
why wouldn't it be by choice ?
Jo0o0odie1995
Historically, there have been periods when China ruled the Korean peninsula by right of conquest, which means that the Korean people living there didn't have a choice in whether they would like to adopt Chinese customs or not. There were also the Mongols who conquered most of Asia including Korea, and they also forced a lot of the Chinese culture they themselves adopted onto the people there. Other times, Koreans have willingly embraced ideas that came out of China, like Confucianism. I imagine that Chinese cuisine like Zhajiangian was one of those ideas too.
Ender Ragnarok
"there have been periods..." Name that period. Oh wait, you can't?
BillboardTopMVlyrics
Go read a history book, troll.
BillboardTopMVlyrics China was a presence in Korean during the Tang, Yuan and Ming Dynasties (there are more I just can not find exact dates on those). North Korea was 'conquest' of the soviet union and China, while the south was a 'conquest' of the United States (I am sure that was the mentality).
Is no one going to ask what on earth Simon is wearing? is it a puppy carrier? is it a brace? Im so confused
Omg hahaha i literally LoLd lol idk either haha
I came here to the comments specifically to find out! It's like a bondage bum bag (fanny pack).
***** might be a fanny pac
I know right
mcar 7491 Its just a small bag with adjustable straps. There is a seller on Etsy that makes these bags, tough i can't find the original one i saw a long ass time ago, only some sellers that expanded the idea/design. You can adjust the size and position of the straps to convert to different uses. I really like when the straps are done so its like a belt, and the other strap is around your thigh so the bag is secure on your hip ninja style. The original one i saw was very expensive, like $500.
Jiajangmian is Chinese, northern Chinese cuisine.
And a lot of Chinese food you eat in North America is Cantonese, because Cantonese people came to North America first.
I'm Chinese American and we eat jjajangmyeon, and in Chinese, the pronoun citation is actually quite similar.
korean jajangmyeon is actually changed and localized version of jiajiangmian
korean one is more warm and sweet and i heard that chinese one is saltier and relatively cold
thihal123 Korean jajangmyeon is also a lot saucier (oooohh saucay!) while I guess you can call it "legit Cantonese" jiajangmein (?) is more veggie, meat, and tofu with less sauce. However I have seen it in Cantonese, Mandarin, and Taiwanese restaurants in my area. Regardless, it's delicious!
+thihal123 Jjajangmyon is not really "chinese." It's actually the invention of the chinese immigrants who settled in the port city of Inchon in Korea, west of Seoul, about a hundred years ago. These poor chinese immigrants tried to make living by gathering whatever the cheap ingrients they could find locally and cooking it up into an exotic delicacy to sell. At first their invention was not very successful. But when some of them thought of adding caramel, the dark syrupy thing you get from overheating sugar, to the sauce, it became a hit. Soon followed the Cold War and the Korean War which left South Korea and Red China bitter enemies for decades. The chinese immigrants in Korea were cut off from any communication with their folks back in China for so long. When the diplomatic relationship normalized between South Korea and China in 1992 and South Koreans began touring China in massive number, the Korean visitors were puzzled and stunned to find out that jjanjangmyon did not exist in China, not in Beijing area, northern China, or any place in China. That's when the scholarly investigations revealed the funny history of the Korean chinese immigrants' invention of it. The popularity of jjajangmyon among the Koreans in Korea is quite well known in China today, and many enterprizing chinese food vendors and restaurants re-imported this culinary idea of jjajangmyon back into china and sell to meet the visiting Korean tourists.
+DAVID PARK jjajangmyun is chinese..... like someone commented above, it's derived from northern chinese cuisine called zhajiangmian. when the chinese immigrants came to incheon, like you said above, they just modified it to meet the korean palates.
jjajangmyun/zhajiangmian definitely exists in china and even some chinese restaurants in the US. Although i'm part-korean, I like salty stuff and don't like sweet stuff so i've had plenty of my share of zhajiangmian rather than jjajangmyun in the US.
We have jajangmyeon In china! I am actually frm Singapore. But my mom is frm china and we go back every year to visit family there and the jajangmyeon aka 炸酱面 is vry gd but not made with the same ingredients. It is made with fried pork win seasoning and many other stuffs! All in all they are amazing!
I agree 100% !!!!! But they also have 韩式炸酱面
There is a Chinese noodle dish Zahjang Mein but it does not use a black bean sauce, lots of recipes for it but I use sweet bean paste and chili bean paste--plus tons of minced garlic and a little ground pork.
The jajjangmyeon you guys ate is really koreanize. In China we don't do it this way. We usually use toona sinensis, cucumber, bean-sprout, green bean, soybean and pork to make the "jajjang". Most importantly, instead of using black been paste, we use soybean paste~ So I think korean jajjangmyeon will taste very different from the Chinese one.
I 've had this dish in Urumqi ,XinJiang and in Beijing. The one from Urumqi was made with soy beans and the one in Beijing was made with black beans. Which bean is used might not be geographical but the chef's choice. They were both yummy. I don't have much experience eating this dish in china but a good JaJiang noodle shop will hand pull the noodles to order.
Chinese food is really really REALLY different depending on what part of China you go to, so I don't think you can really say "typical Chinese food" haha - its such a huge country that you couldn't possibly expect the food to be the same everywhere: for example, the Sichuan province does the really super spicy food that you won't find in Xinjiang, and (I think) my dad is from Shaanxi, and they def. don't do the same food as in Beijing. Basically, what I'm trying to say is that people in your Canadian Chinatown, might not be from the same place as the people doing your takeaway:)
(ps I'm really not an expert, and I feel like I've made some stuff up, don't quote me)
Most of the chinese food owners in korea are second generation or first generation chinese immigrants that came to korea. The person who made "jajiangmyeon" was a chinese-korean chef who invented it in Incheon, Korea, in his restaurant.
but My friend who was born in Beijing told me she often eats "zhe jiang mian"(this is the way we call it) at home. and one of my friend from Shandong told me her mon cook delicious zha jiang mian. ......so......it is not invented but just changed the taste. just Like in EUROPE or USA.....
It's basically inspired by zhe jiang mian, but use of same sauce but different consistancy.
I think the first gen are retired or passed on. It's mostly 2nd, 3rd and 4th now I think. Ethnic Chinese has been residing in Korea since the 13th century. And the China towns in Korea were established by mostly Chinese from Shandong from late 1,800's. So yes, they've been part of Korean history and society for some time.
HelloMyNamelsBanana Actually I had both Jajangmyun and Zhe Jiang Mian. It's quite different. The Original Chinese version is mostly dry with little sauce which is salty and meaty. Korean version the sauce is very different. It's darker, saucier, sweeter and has onions and other veges fried in together with meat. It's more like Spaghetti actually. The Lion Brand Jajangmyun Sauce company that supplies like 90% of Jajang sauce is set up and owned by ethnic Chinese Koreans.
Xentradi97 authentic chinese resturant in philippines didnt have it... could be a fusion/from a diff area?
many chinese immigrated to manila was hokkien/minlin speaking dialect...
im not sure where in china that derives from.... but just interesting to see the video/reading the comments very interesting.... does anyone know the area that chines fixes it or is a widespread nationally?
ty commenters for mentioning this!!!
im crying because i want to eat all the food
Jjajang myeon is available in northern parts of China and the Mandarin pronunciation of it is something like Zhajiangmian. In Chinese Muslim areas like Ningxia and Muslim quarters of Beijing, lamb and lamb fat replaces the pork and lard respectively.
I'm sorry, but I'm not a food waster, all of that food would have to been in Tupperware for me to eat later lol... or that just makes me a fat kid lol.
Martina moved it all into different bowls and some were for Leigh.
Kallie Mae yup totally would do that too.
I was raised in beijing, where most chinese people considered as the city that zhajiangmian (jjajangmyeon) come from. And i am 100% sure that our zhajiangmian is not the same with korean jjajangmyeon although it was chinese bring this dish to korea. They look similar (black bean souse and cucumber blablabla) but koreans definitely changed the recipe a lot. However, china is such a big country, people from the south eat a totally different kind of food with us and Korean jjajangmyeon is more like their flavour. So i would say jjajangmyeon is not chinese food but food that cooked in a chinese way... Was that sounds right to you?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
I get a happy feeling watching your old videos. And new ones.
-cries after seeing how much food they threw away-
Actually, seeing the amount of food they ordered and how much they ate (including Leigh), it's not even that drastic. I've seen people throw away almost an entire meal.
I think they gave a bunch of it to Leigh
Do they not have leftovers in Korea? I went to a restaurant once and asked for a to go package for my chicken and they said no. But then I went to another place and they said yes. So what's the deal?
@@LoveNeko64 I do not know about Korea but in most places I have been it is unheard of, at least in Europa and Japan. If someone ask for a to go back where I live they might get one but they will be looked at like they are insane. Maybe pizza is okay? But anything other then that is seen as very weird and almost rude.
I’m a big fan of leftovers, but not Chinese food. It doesn’t do well after one day.
I should really stop watching you guys eating food in Ramadan
or watch it after iftar.
Rabia Khatun Actual, you shouldnt be watching videos at all during ramadan. You are just tempting yourself when you get on the internet. Dont blame the people who are making the videos, theyre not participating in Ramadan so why is it their fault?
Nessa beane At what point was she blaming them exactly?
Rabia Khatun When you commented, it wasn't even Ramadan...
obviously, but still. I know all about Ramadan. My mom and dad are Muslim.
all these years after watching this video and i finally got to try tangsuyuk today...my soul has finally been cleansed
In regards to the whole "This is considered Chinese food but you can't find it in China" conversation, it sounds just like most of the Chinese restaurants in the States.. for instance General Tso's chicken is pretty famous "Chinese" dish in the U.S. (in my region at least). However, the dish is pretty much nonexistent in China and would probably make actual Chinese locals gag if they ate it lol.
I've heard that too! Saw a news story on it once. General Tso was an actual general in China, but there isn't a dish in China named after him.
+Shmaples Yeah, but sometimes when you go directly to Chinese restaurants where the clientele are really only Chinese locals, this still isn't there. I think I might of saw it while I was in China for a couple of months but it's not a common thing that's ordered.
Johanna K Right I know.. that was my point. It's not a real Chinese dish to Chinese people but it's considered "chinese" to Koreans. It is the equivalent to the American General Tso's chicken. Both are called "Chinese" but neither are actually eaten by Chinese people.
+Shmaples its a northern Chinese food. They probably asked southerners
They serve it there now for tourists
Most of Toronto Chinatown's chinese restaurant serve Cantonese (southern chinese) food... I think jajangmyun/zhajiangmian is more of a northern chinese food. You might want to look for Chinese restaurants in the GTA that specialize in North-eastern chinese cuisine (Dongbei cai). You might have more luck finding chinese styled zhajiangmian there! :)
dam right!
I'm not really sure if it tastes the same, but in China there is "jjajang myeon", except it's called zha jiang mian 炸酱面. It's eaten with ground pork (sometimes mushroom), but the sauce used, I think, is (somewhat) similar to the korean version. It is a chinese food, but depends on where in China you come from.
B-b-but!! Why would you get rid of food you paid for!!!!?
That's my biggest hang up right now, just got out on my own, buy all my food on my own. I do my damnedest not to waste a bite. Maybe it gets easier to throw away food when you make a lot of money...?
*sarcasm filter*
I agree; that really pissed me off!
K. Stosphia I totally would have grabbed that food off the stairwell. Or if I was the delivery guy, helped myself to the leftovers, as that food was TOTALLY still good!
Zhajiangmian is the chinese equivalent. Please google or youtube it.
+Yeong Seo Jeon people need to read the title lol
Korean has Waaay more sauce
+Yeong Seo Jeon no you need to watch the video, they ask specifically about the chinese version.
Wow....you guys really know your stuff. Very few people outside of the korea-circle know of the korean version of chinese foods. Well done!
But.. but.. you could have saved the food for the next day in any container you already had in your house, whyyy did you gave it most of it back? I'm hungry now...
Here I am eating a bowl of cereal late at night for a snack because watching these wonderful foodie videos make me peckish. Leftovers are divine. Maybe leaving the leftovers in the hallway is a charitable act (he writes naively).
Lolol, one can dream. Although I will try to make this dish someday....
Nataly Gómez Im likely completely wrong, but in some countries its considered polite to leave food on your plate. Eating all of it is a way of saying "you didn't give me enough". Not sure about this custom in Korea but its something to consider
Oh wow, really? I didn't knew that, thanx Tamotsu-Kun for enlightening me here ^_^
I think I would have made the mistake of eating everything and insulting them by it without even knowing, so good to know!
not in korea!! its considered rude (especially in front of the elders or... maybe someone who made the dishes) to do like that
i think that is chinese thing (not sure :( )
Would you guys ever order a meal for your intern instead of having her eat your leftover for once?
They probably do.
I'm a Chinese living in France, and jajanmyun or "zha jiang mian" definitely exists in China. There might be some differences in the sauce ingredients, but the idea of noodles with that black sauce and sliced cucumber is the same. Maybe it is not as popular in every parts of China, but where I come from (Qingdao) it is popular and you can definitely get this in restaurants, and my grandparents like to do this dish for us. And it´s VEEEEEEEEERY delicioussssss ;)
Zha Jiang Mian is China's version of 짜장면, go look up Simply Dumpling's channel for his recent foray into Korean food ^^
JjajangMyeon is actually derived from Chinese Zha Jiang Mian. The Chinese version doesnt have the sweetness of the korean version and is often cooked with pork meat.
Well then Martina, you have successfully got me into my first Korean Drama: Coffee Prince. hehe :3
I recommend My Love From Another Star
I'll have to look up the name of it (note that I'm not normally into Kdramas) but there's one I recommend you watch if you liked Coffee Prince. It has something to do with like, a girl who wants to be a chef? Ah, found it. It's called Pasta. I didn't finish watching it, but it was very good.
Actually My Love From Another Star is exploding with ratings in China! And America is planning to make a english version of it.
I recently just finished Coffee Prince!! I loved it
I'm not sure what the american version is called...
Jiajangmian is a northern Chinese dish. You can order that in Beijing and Taiwan. I've had them in both places. But don't assume they serve that in every Chinese restaurant. Chinese restaurants featuring southern Chinese cuisine generally don't serve them. Chinese version's ingredient is a little different. It has smoked tofu squares, edamame beans...etc. Hope that helps.
I have a question
If you have leftover for the good delivery, you can put them in the container and heat them up right the next day or next meal instead of throwing them away:(
Great vid!! To clear up why you probably never found those noodles in Chinatown, I think a lot of times the Chinatowns in Canada and in the U.S. are more heavily Cantonese-populated, whereas there are a ton of other provinces in China and each one serves a different "specialty food." (It's kind of like how you can't "judge" all food in the States by just eating from diners in the South.) I don't think jia4 jiang4 mien4 is all that popular among the Cantonese, but in the northern provinces (as well as Taiwan) it's a lot more prevalent.
If you're interested in noodles (of all sorts), Shandong is definitely the noodle and "man tou" capital of China. :) (And one of my favorite places, since my grandma was born there!)
Argh, my pinyin is way off these days! Zha jiang mian*
my mom is born and raised in beijing and so is my dad. they're both chinese. i know for a fact because i've seen both my paternal and fraternal grandparents and they all speak mandarin chinese and live in beijing. well, lived cause both my grandpa past away and so did my maternal grandmother.
but my mom makes ja ja mien all the time. it's her favorite. she just puts some oil heat it up, put some pieces of shredded pork and then stir fry and add like the black bean paste and some green onions and sautee it. and puts the sauce over boiled and drained white noodles. she also puts cucumbers julienned on the side or julienned cabbage that's been boiled for like a few minutes. she loves it but obvi being born in america i prefer my noodles in pasta sauce with basil and some melted cheese (that's more italian but whatever)
this was the first EYK video i ever watched :')
OMG, I love Chinese food in Toronto!!
Me too!
+Simon and Martina Hey guys! I'm from northern China (Shen Yang) and I can confirm that this is Chinese food! My family makes "zha jiang mian" all the time! Yes, it's comfort food (like mac and cheese). Also, those steamed buns and fried pork are also part of our cuisine. I live in Toronto too. If you come back one day I'd love to introduce you guys to a FAPFAP for Northern Chinese cuisine. I think you two would love it a lot :)
+Yolanda L. Haha no reply
+Japan Lover haha sad :(
3 years late reply...
Yes, you can get jjajangmyeon in China. I get it often as a child at a restaurant near my grandmother's house (I lived with my grandmother since my parents were oversea). You won't find it at most Chinatowns because it is a regional food and most Chinatown have general Chinese food and not regional ones. To find regional ones you have to go to China.
Let those who have never been to Korea know that "for service" means "for free".
China is really big... So it's really silly to say that jiajjangmyun doesn't exist there...unless you've been to every province/city ect. Tangsuyuk ans jiajjangmyun originated grin shanddong China. I've also had it in beijing .
lmfao you just leave it in the middle of the staircase? i dont know why that's so funny ahahaha
every time i watch this video i only think "they wasted so much food...LEFTOVERS DANG IT!"
They probably gave some to soozie and Leigh :)
I had a brain fart and forgot how soozie spells her name. Forgive me if I butchered that :b
I'm on a diet and am living vicariously through all your fapfap videos....
I recently saw a documentary on youtube about jjanjangmeun and it was invented in Korea in Incheon. And it s the working class chinese people who invented jjajangmeun with only noodles and blackbean sauce about 100year ago! It became popular later when somebody added a sweet taste version of it with meat and veggi!;)
I think that China is so big and has so many different cuisines, to say something is Chinese Food as it's main category can call confusion.
Yeah and I even said up in the comments section that there is this dish in northern provinces of china called zha jiang mian. They shouldn't really categorize an entire culture of food with what is brought over to north america because even that have been americanized.
watching this at midnight is a bad idea.
Take my word for it, the fried pork thing is a mutation of northeastern Chinese cuisine called 'fried pork in the scoop' aka 锅包肉. The thinly sliced pork loin with starch batter is fired and then wok with a sugary vinegar base. The legit one is with super thin batter almost like tempura.
The jiajang myeon（炸酱面）is another legit Chinese food, originated in ShanDong province and got famous in BeiJing, but instead of ground pork we use chopped fatty pork cube and some green onions, no starch what so ever, and when mixed with noodles there are a selection of finely sliced viggies like cucumber/bean sprouts/cabbage etc.
Chinatown are heavily populated with southern Chinese ppl and sometimes u guys missed out on northern Chinese cuisine.
There's something similar to jajang myeon in china but instead of black bean paste it uses peanut butter,oil,and soy sauce. It's really good! I didn't live in china long enough but I always remembered this because I would always want to eat it as a kid.
That's /ma/ jiang mian （麻醬麵), it's better in the summer with shredded cucumbers on top
I had jjajang myeon at a Korean restaraunt in Oregon. I liked it!
Oregon repreSENT! I've always wanted to go to this one Korean restaurant in downtown Beaverton but our family is quite large and the restaurant is quite small and since my parents would be the ones paying for it, it never works out. Some day I shall have Korean food!
Octet Fan Please tell me where, I need this in my life!
Robin Stewart Happy BiBimBap House, Downtown Salem on Chemeketa near the transit center.
Octet Fan Thanks so much!
Jajangmyeon is the korean way of saying zhaijiangmian. Jajangmyeon from the sound of the ingredients to be the Chinese dish ( black bean sauce with egg or mince meat). It is a dish eaten among commoners and rare to find in restaurants.
Lol Chinese can't watch the RUclipss hahaha I think Korean Chinese food is kinda like American Chinese food (i.e. Panda Express) I've heard that Korean jajjangmyun was created by Chinese people from the Shandong province who moved to Korea...but who knows...O.O In Seattle, we've got a Korean Chinese couple who own a Jajjangmyun shop, it tastes so good ^_^ but my mom won't let me eat it often cuz she says it's unhealthy T.T
Jajiangmyeon actually is Chinese food, although it's very likely that it's different in Korea. In my house (because my parents were born and raised in China), we eat Zha Jiang Mian, which is basically plain noodles mixed/topped with a ground meat (usually pork or beef) and zha jiang (dark fermented soybean paste) mixture.
Some foods are specific to or more popular in certain regions of China, so it's possible your Chinese friends aren't aware of the food because they came from a region of China in which Zha Jiang Mian isn't eaten as much.
Jjajangmyeon is actually Chinese, but it's from the northern-ish region of China. A lot of the immigrants from China that live in China-towns came early on and are from the south, which is why you wouldn't find it there. However, more recent immigrants tend to come from all over, so they've brought their food with them (there's a large variety of Chinese food in California :D), but they no longer live in China-towns as much. There are many different versions of it too because the northern region of China splits into many smaller sub-regions of food culture. I ate zha jiang mian just a week ago, and it looked pretty much like what you guys were eating, haha, just a gigantic lob of bean paste on top of noodles, but I've also had it at different restuarants with sweeter versions, slightly spicy versions, versions with meat, versions with no meat, etc.
Curry originated in India. There is the Indian curry and the Japanese curry. They taste very different and the texture is different as well. Indian curry is Indian and Japanese curry is Japanese.
Black bean noodle originated in China. There is the Chinese zah jiang mian and the Korean jjajangmyeon. They have very different taste and texture - the Korean jjajangmyeon is more viscous & thick while the Chinese zah jiang main is more watery. Zah jiang mian is Chinese and jjajangmyeon is Korean, which gained popularity overseas because of kdramas.
It’s that simple.
the korean jjajanmyun is definitely not the same as the what supposedly be chinese
chinese zajiangmian is made with different sauce and ingredients...
i guess you can find those noodle in korean restaurant in china XD haha
Yeah the source is quite different from Korean version Jjajangmyun. My great-great grandparents all came from Northern China where is famous for noodle dishes. Zhajiangmian is a local dish here. I'm bias tho, I like my grandma's recipe more XD
WAIT WAIT WAIT....you guys didn't save the leftovers? .-.
Just an interesting note, you said that Chinese food in Canada doesn't look like Chinese food in Korea but I was actually pretty surprised because a lot of those dishes look a lot like what Chinese food in America looks like - thick sweet sauce over chicken, vegetables and noodles, noodles covered in thick sauce, spring roles, fried dumplings, etc. Also I would like to thank you for sharing with us Korea because before watching your videos I had a very two dimensional view of Korea (I just knew a lot about the Korean War, not much about Korea today) and I think I have a better appreciation of Korean culture now after watching your videos, so thanks :)
That's definitely not Chinese food....... It's Korean style Chinese food...
it's chinese. im from the northeast of china and my mom makes these dishes (minus the side dishes).
Angela Wang It's Korean food! It's not even Korean style chine food. This food is not exist in China and even chinese people don't know what this food is about. Only Korean usually eat this!
byungwuk chun No it IS a thing in china it's just called something else. And they don't use black bean sause. That's the only difference
Esther Dugbatey
That's why that's something different and different name! When sauce is different it's totally different food!
what? no we use black bean sauce to make it. theres chinese influence in korean food. this food exists in china because there's a lot of korean and chinese influences mixed in northeastern china. a good portion of people speak korean and wear korean clothing there.
SIMON , where did you get your baaaaaaagggg. Does anyone know? Ive found really similar ones but theyre not as cool and are very expensive.

+OutcastHeartsCosplay I know! www.etsy.com/shop/JungleTribe

simon u gotta leave it at ur front door... ;; -.-'
About the Jjajang Myoen. In the north part of China it is a big deal especially during summers. The sauce is lighter coloured than its Korean counterpart, with more pork in the sauce and more toppings to mix into the noodle. Chinese Jjajang Myoen is spelled Zhajiang Mian in Pinyin. Vice president Biden had Zhajiang Mian during his visit in Beijing.
I'm sorry I don't get it :D you just throw away food like that? in Europe leftovers are put in the fridge, why do you put them outside ?
We weren't putting the leftovers outside, we were leaving the dishes and cutlery outside for the delivery company to come pick up. :) This particular meal does not last as a leftover because the noodles become totally swollen and soggy.
This question I been dying to ask! Glad they responded!
Martina, at 1:39, are you squeezing an Adipose?
YOU GUYS ARE WHOVIANS.
I don't know where you got your information from but I'm Chinese and was raised in an extremely Chinese household and we have had 炸酱面 very often. The Korean version is based off of Chinese zhajiangmian.
China has it but it's pronounced zha jiang mian
i see alot of chinese and korean having fights over the dish....
american bbq korean bbq.... what existed first? WHO THE FUCK CARES
seriously its a different take on ones cultured food they prepare...
like chinese resturants in america... ur getting a americanized taste version of chinese style of food
even japanese sushi restaurants in america has sushi rolls to fit japanese n also american tastes
regardess where its from or a diff region makes it its gonna have differencys to it.....
n thats the way i like it..... food fusion FTWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Totally agree! Personally I think a lot of the Americanized food isn't very good though, and American bbq and Korean bbq are so different I don't even think they are comparable.
jajiangmyeon is called "zha jian mien" in chinese and yes it does exist in china and chinese noodle resturants, although only in certian areas in china. I've had jajianmyeon before and it is very very VERY different from the chinese one, so I guess jajiangmyeon is a fusion of korean style sauce with a chinese noodle recipe?
WHY DID YOU WASTE SO MUCH FOOD OMFG
They didn't. They ate it behind the scene. And probably shared with Susie and lee.
Because these people are creepy and really somewhat repulsive?
+Ithila more creepy and repulsive than leaving rude comments on a youtube channel you don't even like? just wondering
+Ithila wtf lol you sound creepy and repulsive.
I have one good idea for your fapfap videos. Why don't you show restaurants in Korea by country? like Chinese, Italian, French, American, Polish, Indian restaurants.
I actually just started crying because it's the middle of the night and you're eating amazing food while I'm in bed eating air.
wth is Simon wearing around his body? XD
hipster attire
Uglyness attire
wtf lol, this is literally Korean food
@ryan Li no it's not
Zhajiangmian
+ryan Li Korean style Chinese food
Chulo yep, not the Zhajiangmian tho, that was korean style, which is called Jajangmyeon
ryan Li But it's Korean style zhajiangmian.. so isn't it still korean style chinese food?
Yeah, Korean-Chinese is Korean-style Chinese, just like how there's American-Chinese food (which is slightly different from actual legit Chinese food eg. Sweet and Sour pork, etc.)
On the flip-side, there's also Chinese-American food, which you can find in a lot of Cantonese restaurants, where they serve Chinese-style Western food.
You can actually find this in Canada (in which I'm speaking of Vancouver, since I don't know about rest of Canada). There are many Korean-Chinese restaurants here that serve it :)
Hope that helps! Though I'm sure you got lots of responses already
OMG GUISE YOU ARE WASTING SO MUCH FOOD !!!! so sad, how many people would love to eat that food and you just dump it!!! shame on you guise shame on you!!!
They didn't discard it.... they saved the leftovers....
Steven Le No they dumped it... But who cares, its their money anyway..
is not about the money they have is about how many people starving in streents/poverty would love to eat that food and they are carelessly throwing it away don't be that supperficial and materialistic think about others!!!
Ilona Woltereck I'm pretty sure they put everything away and put the dirty plates into a single plastic bag.
Steven Le i hope they did that way :/
I'm Chinese studying in US. I had Jiajang Myeon in Seoul. (Sorry if spelled wrong) Actually Jiajang M is a very popular noodle dish in Northern China, esp in Beijing. It's written as 炸酱面 in Chinese. I would say the Korean version has less minced meat and a sweeter taste than what I had in China. The other two dishes are 炒杂菜 and 糖醋肉, less popular in China.
jajiangmyeon is a northern food. ppl in beijing eat jajiangmyeon although it might be different than the korean version. most chinese in canada are from the south which is why they don't know about jajiangmyeon.
I am Chinese and I am in Hong Kong. For Hong Kong Style Jjajang Myeon
(炸醬麵), we mix the Ketchup and la doubanjiang (Doubanjiang with red chili peppers 辣豆瓣酱) to be the sauce, the color of the sauce is Orange. And we put that sauce and shredded pork together on the noodles. The taste of Jjajang Myeon is sweet and spice.
Korea is connected with the northern part of China and thus is probably where it gets jjajiangmyeon from, because, as a southern Chinese, I have never seen that in my life. A lot of southern Chinese are the ones that move to America, because most of us are poor farmers or fishermen that need better jobs LOL. A lot of southern Chinese cuisine is what is brought to America and so a lot of chinatowns have dim sum and bakeries with egg tarts and such.
In China, where I go to province, called fujian they have something similar but its sauce is made from peanut butter and soy sauce and other sauces and it's called ban mian, and just because Chinese people make the food doesn't make it Chinese food because the Chinese food you have at Chinatowns are westernized.
I LOLed so hard at the Blacklisted thing
i'm a Chinese coming from Beijing and now live in US. I had Jajangmyun all the time when i was in Beijing. This is a traditional food dish from northeast part of china. If you ask people from south, they would probably never had it. But as an individual from north, i grow up with jajangmyun aka zhajiangmian
Haha, in China, we have jiajang myeon, but it is totally different than Korea one. The most famous Chinese jiajang myeon is from Beijing. I love it so much. U can google the picture, it looks totally different and made by different sauces. By the way, I am in Toronto too. I tried Korean jiajang myeon, it is super good. However, I want to eat the Chinese one. Miss it sooo much.
Why do I always start watching your food videoes at the middle of the night. Waae!
jajang myun is made with black bean paste with beef broth. the sauce is thick because there is a bit of corn starch. or the starch of the noodles thickened it up.
Yes, what you've eaten can be found in China, mostly from dongbei region, like the breaded pork with sweet and sour sauce, mantou with stir fried veggies, and lastly Jajjangmyun= zha jiang mian meaning bbq sauce noodle. China also have buckwheat noodle in cold broth and their own version of sauerkraut.
Lol u guys are soo funny. I fast for Ramadan but I still watch u guys!! Lol
That 'Du u hare meh?' at 7:54 LOL Martina I luv u XDDDD
It's available in china but under a different name, it's traditionally called zha jiang mian and it's more dry, but almost similar and that's the original version :) it's also quite popular in china
that Chinese-Korean food actually looks so delicious! I am an expat in Peru and the Chinese-Peruvian food (called chifa), is soooo disgustung and yet they are obsessed with it- vomt vomit. I want yours haha
I enjoy watching people eat good food when i am fasting lol maybe its just me.
yes!!! The jjajang myeon is Chinese food. and the Chinese name is 炸酱面(zha jiang mian Black Noodles) and Beijing black noodles is really famous!!! have you tried it last week when you were in Beijing? but it is a little different from Korean jjajangmyeon kk
You guys are so funny! Lol
I just watched 3 episodes in a row at work
