Jajangmyeon
''Jajangmyeon'' () or ''jjajangmyeon'' () is a Korean noodle dish topped with a thick sauce made of '' chunjang'', diced pork, and vegetables. Variants of the dish use seafood, or other meats. History ''Jajangmyeon'' was introduced in the late nineteenth century, when workers from the Shandong province of China were sent by the Chinese military to Korea. It was offered in 1905 at ''Gonghwachun'' (), a Chinese restaurant in Incheon Chinatown run by an immigrant from the Shandong region. The restaurant is now the Jajangmyeon Museum.
