The Seventh Daughter: My Culinary Journey from Beijing to San Francisco

Zha Ziang Mian : page 166

Great recipe for classic northern Chinese noodle dish. I dreamed about this dish from my childhood until I found this recipe. Now I make it often and my guests LOVE it.

Not at all greasy and very fresh tasting. I also have used ground turkey instead of ground pork, with good results.
