Myeon on the Move!

Head out towards Gwanghwamun when you’re cold and hungry, and you may run into some unusual street eats. What is in this mysterious card, wafting steam and savory smells out into the intersection?

Why it’s the old jjajang peddler, spreading joy and black bean sauce over noodles wherever he goes! Alongside sweet radish pickles and steamed mandu, this dude has found a way to boil noodles and heat the salty sauce in his street cart.

Faster than you can say “Tangun’s your uncle!” he’ll have a piping hot bowl sitting in front of you, a quick way to fill your stomach and keep you going on these long winter nights. The noodles and sauce are nothing special, pretty much what you’d make for yourself at home from a mix, but the novelty of getting a quick bowl of these noodles while out and about makes it worth the minute it takes to stop in and fill up. And for 2000 won a serving, it’s also a cheap way to hold down the fort. Salty, savory, quick and cheap – what else can we demand from our street food?
