Mmm, Za Jiang Mein has always been a favorite food of mine. The easiest way to describe it is Chinese Spaghetti! You use a few simple ingredients like sweet bean paste with ground pork and the dish is sweet, salty, and scrumptious. Here is the fabulous recipe I used: http://www.foodmayhem.com/2009/11/za-jiang-mein.html. The site does a great job explaining what the dish is all about and breaks it down with step-by-step pictures! What else could you ask for?
So I made this dish for a couple friends, Wender and Cherry, and I found out two things that night: Cherry is a noodle-monster and Wender is better with a fork than a pair of chopsticks. That wasn't a dig Wender! Just a fun fact.
Here are some pictures from the night:
My bowl with crunchy cucumbers and blanched bean sprouts.
Cherry's very full bowl of noodles (bowl 1 of 2). She said the noodles fluffed everything up and made it seem like a lot of food.
Light summer dessert: lychee and yellow jelly
ooh, it looks really similar to my mom's recipe. Great job! Makes me want to make it :).
