Zajiang mian (simplified Chinese: 杂酱面; traditional Chinese: 雜酱麵, 'noodles with zajiang') is a noodle dish from Sichuan region of China. The zajiang (Chinese: 杂酱, 'mixed sauce'), also known as shaozi (Chinese: 䬰子), is a meat sauce mostly made from lean ground meat (often pork, sometimes beef) and lard.[1] Tallow may also be used as an alternative to lard, albeit less commonly. The ingredients used for making zajiang could differ, but usually include chili oil, and occasionally, doubanjiang.[2]
