What is tianmianjiang?
Tianmianjiang (甜麺醤, tenmenjan in Japanese) is a dark, thick Chinese fermented paste that is sweet and savoury at once. It is a cooking sauce — stirred into a dish as it cooks — rather than something eaten on its own.
How to use & enjoy
Tianmianjiang is the sauce base for Beijing-style zhajiangmian (fried sauce noodles), the traditional accompaniment to Peking duck, and a seasoning in Sichuan twice-cooked pork (huiguorou).
