Spicy and Salty Fried Noodles - Red Pepper Vs Black Bean

The containers of seasoning (Miso paste, Curry Paste, Red Pepper paste, and Black Bean paste) inside my fridge were nearing their expiry dates. So I've been trying to use them as often as I could during cooking of daily meals but not in large amounts.

Today I was in the mood to fry noodles so these pastes came in handy, I just had to choose two of them. Ignorant as I was, I thought that Red Pepper paste would churn out bright red fried noodles while Black Bean paste would get really black ones. If I wanted to get these colours, a whole lot of pastes had to be dumped in which would be unhealthy. In the end I just had to settle for the tastes instead of my "vision" ;(((

The verdict of my red and black fried noodles was, Interesting and Exciting!  The taste was superb when I combined both types together too. Give it a try with the sauces that you have.
