Black pepper Noodles with Seafood -taken by peachpurple
This is similar to Korean famous noodles known as “Jajangmyeon (자장면; 짜장면; jjajangmyeon” but locally we called it “Black pepper Noodles”
However, local people used black pepper sauce to produce the
same delicious taste of mild spicy, hot and smooth noodles that is
satisfying and tasty.
Fresh yellow noodles is widely used in this recipe because it
produced the soft , chewy texture compare to dried egg noodles or
ramen.
In this noodle recipe, I decided to make it a seafood style instead
of using pork belly.
You could use fish balls, fresh shrimps or prawns with the heads
and shells, baby squids or fish fillets.
As for the sauce, I used black pepper sauce that comes in small
sachets, jars, bottled, which are usually a compliment seasoning
for grilled meats and barbecues.
Approximately 2 tbsp of black pepper sauce with combination of
black soy sauce ( dark soy sauce ) is sufficient to blend well a
packet of yellow noodles.
Never forget the vegetables. Just reach out any leafy vegetables
you have in hand.
Cabbage, mustard greens, spinach, kale, Bok Choy, celery or bean
sprouts are suitable for this simple stir fried recipe.
Let’s get to to the recipe now and start cooking!
· 1 tbsp sunflower oil
· 2 cloves garlic- chopped
· 1 medium onion-sliced
· 100g fish balls- cut into halves
· 100g shrimps- remove shells, heads, and deveined
· 100g baby squid- criss cross cut or cut into rings
· 1 cup water
· 1 sachet / 聽2 tbsp black pepper sauce
· 1 packet yellow noodles ( yield 3 persons)
· several stalks of mustard greens- separate leaves from stems- cut into sections-washed

1. Wash fresh yellow noodles under running tap water to
discard the oil.
2. Bring a pot of water to boil. Toss in the yellow noodles.
3. Turn off heat after 2 minutes. Drain the noodles.
4. Do not cook the noodles too long. Soft noodles is not chewy
and will break into pieces when stir fry.
5. Marinate shrimps and baby squids with a little salt
and pepper.

slices of cucumbers and tomatoes

Your family must be truly blessed with the type of dishes you churn out for them. This recipe is one such. Not many would cook such varieties as you do. Kudos to you.
oh yes, the best thing about Asian recipes are the variety of different culture cuisines we could enjoy
This is my all-time fave and I never fail to have it when I visit Swensen's. That is by far the best Black Pepper Seafood Spaghetti I've ever had. Oh well, it isn't a common dish that can be found in most pasta places so not many for me to compare with. But still, I think Swensen's rendition is really good. Just thinking about it makes me drool......
Black pepper sauce, teriyaki sauce, sweet and sour sauce, thai sweet chilli sauce are some of my fave sauces. Mr Tan always says that I'm eating the sauce more than the food itself. I like to think that the sauce makes the food even more delish!
This is very similar to Black Pepper Seafood Udon, just that I'm using spaghetti and didn't add in any eggs to it. Also cut down on the sauces to make it a little less fattening (trying to deceive myself). I love both dishes so they'll be taking turns to show up at my dinner table. :)

Black pepper (Piper nigrum), as you know, is considered as an all-purpose seasoning of the universe. In fact, it is regarded as the world's most traded spice.
Recently, several three-star restaurants in Europe, especially at the state of Monaco, have been using this seasoning. It became very popular because of its ability to enhance the flavors of dishes and make it more appetizing.
In recent years, research studies show that black pepper contains potent substances that possess healing prowess.
Indeed, black pepper has been used by the ancients in Traditional Chinese Medicine. The Chinese must have vital reasons in using black pepper as a medicinal herb. Piperine, an alkaloid that gives the sharp and pungent taste of black pepper is responsible for its many health benefits.
