Black Bean Pasta

Leave a comment

Black bean noodle meets stir-fried pasta – that’s what our black bean pasta is like. It doesn’t contain a chunjang (fermented black bean paste) like the traditional Korean-Chinese black bean noodles, jjajangmyeon. However, in place of chunjang, it is made using a blend of black beans, garlic, ginger and other flavour enhancing ingredients. This blend is used to stir fry vegetables (keeping the recipe low-fat) then the rest of it is tossed with pasta to make a delicious, umami, flavoursome meal.

The black beans in this recipe are great sources of nutrients such as protein, fibre, thiamin (vitamin B-1), riboflavin (vitamin B-2), niacin (vitamin B-3), pantothenic acid (vitamin B-5), pyridoxine (vitamin B-6), folate (vitamin B-9), calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, omega fatty acids, phosphorus, potassium, selenium and zinc. Although black beans are high in carbohydrates they have a lower glycemic index than a lot of other high carb foods. They also aid in minimising the risk and effects of diabetes by reducing the spike in blood sugar levels from consuming food. You can find more information about the benefits of the nutrients found in black beans in our Nutrient Index.

Without further ado, here’s our black bean pasta recipe!
