Zha Jiang Noodles – Minced Pork in Bean Sauce with Wheat Noodles Recipe

By Mijune

The sauce is meaty and flavourful, full of umami from the fermented bean. The noodles are thick and chewy, and the cucumbers add a cooling contrast in flavour and texture. It’s one of my go-to dishes when dining at Northern style Chinese restaurants.

PiDGiN Restaurant – Prix Fixe Menu – Gastown, Vancouver, BC

By Mijune

PiDGiN is not an Asian restaurant, but it is certainly Asian inspired. Most courses were very good and I have faith in the team. It just lacked the minor, but noticeable details and finesse of a polished dish and I’m not comparing it to fine dining.

Long’s Noodle House 小龍記麵家 (Shanghainese/Chinese Restaurant)

By Mijune

Some of their dishes I could find just as good if not better at other Shanghainese restaurants in Metro Vancouver, but some dishes were unique to Long’s. Long’s definitely has signature dishes and ones they have perfected, and I would not hesitate to recommend them.
