Ottawa Foodies

Zha Jiang mian (炸醬麵) is also called Ja Jiang mian where mian means noodles in Chinese. This is the Northern Chinese version of Italian spaghetti, but mixed with minced pork, sweet noodle sauce, hoisin sauce, hot bean paste, soy sauce, sesame oil together in a bowl. When the noodles are brought to your table, the ingredients are placed on top of the noodles and you have to mix the ingredients well yourself. I took the photo after the noodles were well mixed by my friend. (Note that there is a Korean version of this as well and is called Jajangmyeon).

Among all the dishes we ordered, this is the BEST one. I recommend this noodle dish to you and we will order this dish again next time we are here for lunch/dinner. One of our friends also ordered this dish separtely as takeout for her son.
