Friends, by the time you are reading this post, I’ve arrived in Dalian, China on a much anticipated trip home. It has been over a year since I’ve been home, which is much too long. In celebration of this very special occasion, and in honor of my grandpa, an authentic Beijing-er, who first instilled in me a passion for great cooking, I’d like to share with you all our homemade recipe for Zhajiangmian (pronounced ja-jiong-mien), which translates quite literally to Fried Sauce Noodles.
