  Hi,
  I would like to know whether this paste can be used to make Jjajangmyun.
  Thank you.

  I can attest that the sauce described by ze125 makes a good substitute to jjajang sauce because I make a very similar version. Because chunjang can be hard to find, I found that using Chinese fermented black beans (called douchi 豆豉) or Chinese yellow bean paste (huangjiang 黄酱 or some brands say ganjiang 干酱) lends a very similar, though not identical, taste to chunjang. Just use it like you would chunjang in Maangchi’s recipe or in the recipe above.

    I think that it is actually rice wine vinegar that the recipe calls for.

    Apple/White grape juice would work, it’s not a big deal to skip the rice wine.

  If I skip this rice wine ingredient for making Black bean pasta, what should I use alternative ingredients? Because I belong to Muslim religions!
