      I just purchased some black bean sauce from my local Asian grocery store. It has whole black beans in it, so I was wondering do I mash the black beans into a paste because I want to make black bean noodles or do I just leave them whole in the sauce that they come in?

      it’s not the same product. chunjang sauce (the sauce used to make jjajangmyeon) is actually mostly made from wheat flour, even though it’s called black bean sauce. the black bean sauce you have is great for Chinese stir fries and other things, but it’s not the right product for jjajangmyeon, sorry.

      It can be used to make a variation called fried sauce noodles in China. Although, that is normally made with a different sauce in Beijing.
