The Essence of Zha Jiang Mian
Zha Jiang Mian, which translates to “fried sauce noodles,”. Traditionally, it features thick wheat noodles topped with a robust, savory sauce made from fermented soybean paste and minced pork or beef. Our interpretation retains the essence of this beloved dish while introducing some delightful enhancements.
Ingredients
Tender Beef Slices: Marinated in a blend of soy sauce, hoisin sauce, ginger, garlic, and a hint of sugar, the beef slices are tender and flavorful.
Onions: Sautéed until caramelized, onions add sweetness and depth to the dish.
Steamed Rice: A base of fluffy steamed rice soaks up the rich sauce and balances the robust flavors.
Fried Egg: A perfectly fried egg with a runny yolk adds a luscious texture and richness.
Vegetables:
Broccoli: Steamed until tender, broccoli provides a nutritious crunch.
Carrots: Julienne-cut and lightly sautéed, carrots add a subtle sweetness and vibrant color.
Bean Sprouts: Fresh and crunchy, bean sprouts offer a refreshing contrast.
Cheesy Corn: Corn kernels mixed with melted cheese create a creamy, indulgent topping.
Cooking Method
Marinate the Beef: Start by marinating thinly sliced beef in a mixture of soy sauce, hoisin sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and a touch of sugar. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Prepare the Vegetables: While the beef marinates, steam the broccoli and julienne the carrots. Set aside.
Cook the Rice: Rinse and cook the rice until fluffy. Keep warm.
Stir-fry the Beef and Onions: In a hot pan or wok, stir-fry the onions until they begin to caramelize. Add the marinated beef and cook until it is browned and tender.
Fry the Egg: In a separate pan, fry an egg sunny-side-up, ensuring the yolk remains runny.
Assemble the Dish: Place a serving of steamed rice in a bowl, top with the stir-fried beef and onions. Arrange the steamed broccoli, julienne carrots, and bean sprouts around the beef. Add a generous spoonful of cheesy corn. Top everything with the fried egg.
