Note: today I’m republishing a recipe for zha jiang mian that I first published back in May 2010, with newer photos. Enjoy!
There’s one dish that I always am excited to eat whenever I go home — my dad’s zha jiang mian, or Chinese noodles with ground pork. These Chinese noodles are usually served with fresh cilantro, green onion, julienned cucumber, and blanched bean sprouts on the side. I love it so much that I make it frequently as an easy weeknight staple.
yummy in my tummy. I want to eat that bowl full of goodness!
Thanks, Courtney! Hope you’ll try it sometime.
Doesn’t your dad use tian mien jian as well?
Yup, he sure does. It’s easier to find hoisin than tian mien jiang as well — but yes, you can use sweet bean sauce instead of hoisin.
These pictures are incredible, looks delicious, too!
Thanks! Try the recipe sometime!
