Top 1 products for Zha Jiang
Latest reviews
I bought it again. This noodle cooks quickly and is suitable for all kinds of mixed noodles.
Delivery was prompt. Packaging was intact. I wonder how it tastes.
This is my favorite of all the noodles I've tried. It doesn't get soggy and is perfect for mixing with other noodles.
I bought this specifically to make Old Beijing-style fried sauce noodles. These noodles are the round, thick kind, and they're incredibly chewy and springy after cooking, perfectly replicating the feel of hand-pulled noodles. Most importantly, they hold the sauce exceptionally well; when mixed with meat sauce and cucumber shreds, every bite is flavorful, and they don't get mushy even after long cooking. If you enjoy noodles with a good texture, this is definitely the top choice, and I'll buy it again and again!
I often make this simple version of Old Beijing Noodles with Soy Sauce, and the whole family eats it till they are full :)
I've been eating plain noodles before. Let's try something different.
I've already opened it and eaten it. It's authentic Chinese noodles. The portion is huge.
The quantity is much larger than expected, very affordable and delicious!
This brand of noodles has different types, I like them all.
