I recently discovered black bean spaghetti and I want to try it out! I just don't know what to make it with. May as well start with normal spaghetti based ideas.
I already have jajangmyeon on my list, I'm just missing the black bean paste.

I'd prefer Mediterranean based foods since those are the types ingredients I have around the house. Though, I am willing to try more things.

    Never had it before, but I just tried soba noodles recently and think you could do it with the black bean spaghetti.... It's a stirfry recipe.
    I'm the worst person to give out a recipe because I never follow one, but I'm going to guesstimate it for you.

    Start with chicken cut up into strips.
    And what ever veggies you want in it, I usually use the frozen packages because it's quick.

    Cook chicken

    1 cup chicken broth
    1 tablespoon black bean sauce (I like golden dragon thick black bean sauce)
    1 tablespoon soya sauce
    2 tablespoons corn starch
    I combine all the liquid and corn starch together before adding it to the chicken and veggies, if it's too thick I add the chicken broth, if it's too thin then I add a little bit more corn starch/broth
    I always add the cornstarch to liquid before adding it to the pan, just so it doesn't gum up and get lumpy

    Remember the cornstarch thickens as it cooks, so adjust consistency after it has simmered for a few minutes.

    That sounds really good! I will definitely try that out. :) Thanks!
