Jjajangmyeon has a very basic flavor and is not at all spicy. It's a little bland yet delicious, with a lot of beef, shrimp, and crispy pork, with just a touch of sweetness. The sauce should be silky and creamy, with chewy, plump noodles. You're not a huge lover of seafood? If you leave it out, the quantity of meat will be doubled to 1 pound (16oz). Whatever you use, just be sure to serve it hot and steaming immediately away.
