I love Black bean sauce noodles and Mapo Tofu on cold days. One of my favorite places to go is over by Chumgmoro station exit 5. There, they make their own noodles on site and their black bean sauce has peanuts in it.

Awesome for cold days because the blackbean noodles have like 900 calories per bowl (no joke…but that’s if you eat all of the noodles and sauce).
