Zhajiangmian

Zhajiangmian, a kind of food made of noodle, is a traditional noodle that used to be eaten by poor common folks in the past. Now, it has been a popular snack in China, especially in Beijing.
The noodles are not fried with the sauce; noodles are boiled but the sauce is fried. Vegetables are provided separately, so according to your preference you can put the boiled vegetables in the dish. And the noodles should be hand rolled and al dente. In addition, it should be coordinate with various relishes like mungbean sprout, cucumber silk, radish silk, and garlic sprouts, etc.
If made well, Beijing Zhajiangmian is a treat not to be missed.  Although customarily made from diced pork fried in a thick brown bean sauce, most restaurants now just use ground pork.
