Zha Jiang Noodles (noodles with Minced pork sauce)

My kids love noodles so much. They never get bored eating noodles.
I have variety noodles recipes and this one is one of them. It's quick and simple to prepare + yummy yumm yumm.
I usually use fresh noodle in Chinese market, beacuse it has chewy texture. 
The sauce is ground pork cooked with black bean paste sauce. It's thick sauce. Black Bean paste is made of black bean that are cooked and fermented with salt. It has rich nutty flavour. Butut is very salty. I usually ground it first before using. That way it will create smooth sauce. This noodle is served with vegetables (usually sliced cucumber, bean sprout, thinly sliced radishes). 
I hope you enjoy.
