“Fried Sauce” Noodle – Zha Jiang Mian
By Tiffy Cooks
I love this delicious 15 Minute Taiwanese “Fried Sauce” Noodle, or Zha Jiang Mian 炸醬麵, because it’s my mom’s recipe! This mushroomy meat sauce made with ground pork and dried mushroom is super aromatic in every bite. Mixed with fresh noodles and sliced cucumbers, this bowl of noodles reminds me of childhood dinners. The best part? It’s the easiest thing to meal prep! Freeze this meat sauce, and you’ll have delicious homemade Taiwanese food ready anytime!
