Directions
Za Jiang Mein (Beijing-Style Meat Sauce With Noodles), This is a fast food or home meal in Beijing, and is quite popular in Korea as well. It’s a thick wheat noodle topped with a savory pork sauce, which is a bit sweet and spicy. All this is garnished with a mound of shredded cucumber. You mix it all together and voila… a filling, tasty meal. It’s Pucca, the Japanese cartoon character’s favourite food as well. Many variations of this recipe exist — Chinese people prefer it sweet, Koreans like it salty and with potatoes. Common additions/subsitutions for the pork are: beef, dried shrimp, eggs, shredded bean curd and eggplant., I haven’t even tried making this yet, but just want to say I’m thrilled to have found this recipe. I’ve eaten so many amazing foods in China that I have yet to learn how to make. Za jiang mian is one. Thanks for posting., This was a delight! I did increase the proportion of sauce ingredients to meat, and added plenty of the optional chilli. I’m not a particular fan of beansprouts, so missed them out, but the cool, crisp cucumber and spring onion (and a little more finely sliced chilli!) provided a perfect contrast to the spicy, salty sweet sauce and noodles.
