Zha Jiang Mian (炸酱面), a northen chinese dish, is a bowl of flat white noodles with a warm, thick and sweet minced meat sauce over it. I like it with oodles of cucumber shreds for the nice crunchy feel. For the extra punch, mix the minced meat sauce with some chilli paste or chilli flakes.
I used Chng Kee’s Peking Duck Dipping Sauce (甜面酱).
- Cook noodles in a pot of water. Drain and leave them aside.
- Remove core and seeds from the cucumber. Cut into thin strips.
- Heat wok, add the oil.
- Add garlic/shallots and stir fry until slightly brown.
- Add the minced pork and stir fry till the pork is cooked.
- Add Peking Duck Sauce, light and dark soya sauce.
- Add water and simmer if you prefer more sauce.
- Serve this meat sauce over noodles.
