JIA JIANG MIAN RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Add around 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in pan and fry the diced pork until withered and slightly browned. This is the process why we say it is “fried” sauce. Pour in Chinese cooking wine for a more pure taste. Move the pork to the edges of the pan, add garlic and ginger, fry over slow fire until aromatic. Slow down the fire, otherwise the ginger and garlic might be burnt.
• Pour in our mixed sauce, dark soy sauce and let it simmer for 15 minutes over slowest fire. Mix in sugar. If necessary, turn up the fire and thicken the sauce slightly.
• Blanch shredded carrot for around 30 seconds and cook the noodles according to the instruction. Top the sauce and serve immediately. Since this is a dry-mixed noodle dish, I high recommend matching it with a warm soup.

Steps:

• In a medium pan, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, the ginger, and shallot and sauté until lightly aromatic, 1-2 minutes. Add the ground pork to the pan and cook, undisturbed, until golden brown, 3-5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small pan, heat another tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-low heat. Add the soy bean paste and sweet bean sauce and cook until caramelized, 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn.
• Add the caramelized bean paste mixture to the ground pork mixture and stir to combine. Add the soy sauce and cook for another 30 seconds to incorporate. Add the cornstarch slurry, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for about 15 minutes, adding a few tablespoons of water at a time as needed to keep the mixture at a simmer.
• Meanwhile, heat a small pan over low heat. Add the remaining teaspoon of vegetable oil, then pour in the egg and tilt the pan to spread in a thin layer. Cook until the top is just set, then remove the egg crepe from the pan. Let cool, then thinly slice.
• Cook the noodles according to the package instructions, then drain.
• Place the cooked noodles in a serving bowl and top with the ground pork mixture. Garnish with the egg crepe strips, cucumber, cilantro, and remaining teaspoon of minced garlic.
• Enjoy!
