Thursday, July 20, 2023

Zhajiangmian is a classic Chinese noodle dish that is often referred to as the Chinese version of spaghetti. It features thick, hand-pulled wheat noodles topped with a savory and flavorful sauce called zhajiang.

Here's a simple introduction to Zhajiangmian:In Zhajiangmian, the noodles are typically cooked until they are chewy and al dente, providing a satisfying texture. The star of the dish is the zhajiang sauce, which is made by stir-frying minced meat (usually pork or beef) with fermented soybean paste, soy sauce, garlic, and other seasonings. This combination creates a rich and aromatic sauce that coats the noodles.

All the ingredients you need to make Zhajiangmian:

Noodles: miàn面
Fermented soybean paste: dòu bàn jiàng豆瓣酱
Cucumber slices: huáng guāpiàn黄瓜片
Scallions: cōng葱
