The Seventh Daughter: My Culinary Journey from Beijing to San Francisco
By Cecilia Chiang, Lisa Weiss, Leigh Beisch
Ten Speed Press - 2007
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. When Cecilia Chiang tasted spaghetti bolognese in Rome, she thought "Just like zha ziang mian." This is easier and tastier than spaghetti bolognese. I often use cucumber (alone) or with other vegetables for color (e.g., fresh red pepper, shredded carrots, or whatever I have around that I think would work). Not at all greasy and very fresh tasting. I also have used ground turkey instead of ground pork, with good results.
