The noodles rolled in the boiling water, gradually becoming soft and springy.
A few minutes later...
The noodles were cooked, and he quickly fished them out with a sieve, drained the water, and then divided them into several large bowls.
Next, he added some finely sliced cucumber and carrot, blanched peas, diced celery, and mung bean sprouts, adding a touch of fresh color to the bowl of Zha Jiang Mian, followed by some fried sauce.
All set!
"Qingqing, Weiwei, wash your hands, it’s time to eat..."
Huang Jun gently called out, holding a bowl of steaming, aromatic, and flavorful Zha Jiang Mian steadily in his hands as he slowly walked out of the kitchen.
At the dining table, two small figures were already sitting up straight, giving Huang Jun their sweetest smiles: "Daddy, our little hands are washed clean and ready, just waiting for you to start the meal."
When they saw the richly garnished Zha Jiang Mian, their eyes immediately sparkled with delight, exclaiming, "Wow, this Zha Jiang Mian looks so nice... with green cucumber slices, red carrot slices, and green peas..."
Looking at the children’s innocent smiles, Huang Jun felt an endless warmth in his heart, his mouth slightly curved: "There’s a little secret to eating Zha Jiang Mian."
Qingqing and Weiwei immediately perked up, elbows resting on the table, cupping their little faces with their hands, blinking their curious big eyes in unison: "Daddy, please tell us, what’s the secret?"
"The secret is to first give it a ’transformation’, mix it up, so the noodles and sauce blend together, making it even tastier to eat."
Huang Jun patiently explained, picking up the chopsticks to start mixing the noodles for the two little ones, ensuring each strand was coated with the rich sauce.
The mixed Zha Jiang Mian exuded an even more enticing aroma, making Qingqing and Weiwei’s little noses twitch slightly.
Huang Jun placed it in front of the children, saying, "Alright, go ahead and eat!"
"Thank you, Daddy!"
Qingqing and Weiwei chimed in unison again, eagerly picking up their chopsticks, grabbing a bite of Zha Jiang Mian, and slurping it up. The smoothness of the noodles, the richness of the sauce, and the freshness of the toppings intertwined in their mouths, turning into a sense of happiness full to the brim.
"So tasty~"
The two little ones, their mouths full, still couldn’t help but utter heartfelt praises.
Huang Jun, with a loving face, said to them, "If it tastes good, eat more..."
After speaking,
Already famished, he couldn’t wait to pick up his chopsticks and dive into that bowl brimming with tempting Zha Jiang Mian.
The noodles glided lightly at the tips of his chopsticks, displaying their unique smoothness and elasticity.
He picked up a bite of noodles and put it in his mouth, the smooth noodles lightly touching his teeth, instantly releasing a refreshing wheat aroma.
Next, the rich and mellow taste of the sauce bloomed in his mouth, the delicious diced meat perfectly fused with the sweet and salty sauce, weaving a deeply captivating flavor that made one savor every detail with every bite.
The minced ginger and scallions in the sauce added a touch of spiciness and freshness, giving the whole taste a distinctively layered, complex yet harmonious feel.
The toppings in the Zha Jiang Mian, like the freshness of the cucumber strips, the sweet crunch of the carrot strips, and the crispness of the bean sprouts, added more textural contrast and freshness to the dish, balancing the richness of the sauce.
Mm.
The taste was indeed very good!
Delicious!
Indeed delicious!
Just as the family was happily enjoying the long-awaited dinner, the parents’ group chat was buzzing with activity...
