Jjajangmyeon (짜장면)

What happens

Stranded on a deserted Han River islet in the middle of Seoul, Mr. Kim finds an empty jjajangmyeon sauce packet — and decides that if he can grow grain, mill it, and pull his own noodles, he has a reason to live. When a delivered bowl finally reaches him, he refuses it: hope you make yourself tastes different. It may be cinema's greatest argument for black bean noodles.

The food: Jjajangmyeon (짜장면)

Black-bean sauce noodles — moving-day and delivery royalty.
