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.

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.

New Peace Chinese Restaurant (Peaceful Chinese)

By Mijune

In the context of downtown Vancouver I would say this is a solid place for authentic and traditional Chinese or Shanghainese food. However outside of downtown Vancouver I would say it does get better. This would be standard for many good places specializing in the same cuisine.
