Based on Chinese zha jiang mian (fried sauce noodles), Korean jajangmyun is so popular among Korean families that, jokingly, Korean inflation is measured by the price of jajangmyun. This noodle dish is the most popular delivery food in Korea, but is equally delicious cooked at home. Jajangmyun was chosen as one of the top 100 "Korean cultural symbols" by the Korean Government in 2006.
