ZA JIANG MEIN (BEIJING-STYLE MEAT SAUCE WITH NOODLES)
This is a fast food or home meal in Beijing, and is quite popular in Korea as well. It's a thick wheat noodle topped with a savory pork sauce, which is a bit sweet and spicy. All this is garnished with a mound of shredded cucumber. You mix it all together and voila... a filling, tasty meal. It's Pucca, the Japanese cartoon character's favourite food as well. Many variations of this recipe exist -- Chinese people prefer it sweet, Koreans like it salty and with potatoes. Common additions/subsitutions for the pork are: beef, dried shrimp, eggs, shredded bean curd and eggplant.
