It’s a noodle dish topped with diced pork and vegetables cooked in a thick fermented black bean sauce (jajang). The first Korean dish in the drama was Jajangmyeon. It was aptly named Let’s Eat, and every night, after my firstborn would be asleep, I’d keep a mental note of the dishes that were featured on the show. The first time I learned about Jajangmyeon, I was watching a Korean drama series.

But, I was determined to figure out something to create with these pasta noodles instead of having them sit in my pantry for months and months and then donating them to my church’s Sunday School for a craft!ġ Lime Cut in Wedges (or more for garnish and personal taste)ġ Small Handful of Chopped Cilantro ( adjust to personal taste)Ģ Cups (Dried) Trader Joe’s Organic Black Bean Rotini Pastaįill a medium size stock pot with water, add a dash of salt bring to a full boil.
Then, I thought the old standbys spaghetti sauce or mac & cheese….hmmm, that’s not looking pretty in my mind or sounding delicious either. Maybe it’s the fact that it’s black pasta that I can’t quite get past.
The back of the package gives a recipe for Pepper and Mushroom Alfredo with Shrimp and Black Bean Rotini, but this didn’t sound delicious to me (sorry, if you think so.).
I even had a friend joining me in the mystery of what in the world to make with black noodles. Back to the dilemma…Well, this bag of pasta sat in my pantry for months. I have no idea how they make one ingredient into pasta, but they do! Each 3/4 th cup serving of pasta alone is 200 calories, 1.5 grams of total fat, 0 cholesterol, 0 sodium, 35 grams of carbs, 15 grams of fiber ( yes, you read that right!), 2 grams of sugar, and 14 grams of protein ( yes, you read that right, too!). These little black pastas carry a punch of nutrition and definitely meet my protein and fiber quota for the day! A side note: drink plenty of water when having this dish! I’ll say no more ). Having absolutely no idea what I was going to make with them I threw a bag in my cart. They have been tossed in salads, made into tacos, hamburgers and even camouflaged in chocolate brownies, but what do you make with black bean noodles? A few months ago I saw this new product at Trader Joe’s…a bag of Black Bean Rotini Pasta.
