To prepare, boil the noodle block in water for a few minutes until tender. Drain most of the water, leaving just a small amount to help the sauce adhere. Then, add the contents of the black bean sauce packet to the noodles. Stir well to coat the noodles evenly with the thick, dark sauce. Continue to stir and cook for another minute or two until the sauce is heated through and has thickened slightly. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike many other instant noodle varieties that feature spicy broths, Chapagetti offers a distinct sweet and savory flavor from its black bean sauce. The sauce is thicker and coats the noodles more like a pasta sauce, rather than a soup.
