Jajangmyeon
''Jajangmyeon'' () or ''jjajangmyeon'' () is a Korean noodle dish topped with a thick sauce made of '' chunjang'', diced pork, and vegetables. Variants of the dish use seafood, or other meats. History ''Jajangmyeon'' was introduced in the late nineteenth century, when workers from the Shandong province of China were sent by the Chinese military to Korea. It was offered in 1905 at ''Gonghwachun'' (), a Chinese restaurant in Incheon Chinatown run by an immigrant from the Shandong region. The restaurant is now the Jajangmyeon Museum. Both the name and dish originate from the Chinese ''zhájiàngmiàn'' (). The common features of both are pork, long wheat noodles, and a sauce made from fermented soybean paste. However, ''jajangmyeon'' uses both starch flurry and caramel coloring, resulting in a thicker and darker sauce when compared to ''zhájiàngmiàn''. Yong Chen, an associate history professor at the University of California, Irvine, has said that although the dish "began ...

Sweet Bean Sauce
Tianmian sauce (), also known as sweet bean sauce, sweet flour sauce or sweet wheat paste, is a thick, smooth, dark brown or black paste with either a mild, savory or sweet flavor. It is commonly used in Northern Chinese cuisine, Northeastern Chinese cuisine, as well as Korean-Chinese cuisine. Peking duck and ''jajangmyeon'' are two popular dishes that feature the sauce.

Zhajiang sauce is normally made by simmering stir-fried diced meat or ground pork or beef with salty fermented soybean paste. ''Zhajiang'' also means "fried sauce" in Chinese.

The topping of the noodles usually are sliced fresh or/and pickled vegetables, including cucumber, radish, and pickles edamame, depending on regions. Chopped omelette or in lieu of extra firm tofu can also be alongside. Low-fat dieters often use minced skinless chicken for the meat portion. History Origin Zhajiangmian originates from Shandong province and is an iconic Northern Chinese dish. It is unknown how the dish came to be and only a few folktales are avail ...

All obstruents are consonants, but sonorants include vowels as well as consonants. Subclasses Obstruents are subdivided into plosives (oral stops), such as , with complete occlusion of the vocal tract, often followed by a release burst; fricatives, such as , with limited closure, not stopping airflow but making it turbulent; and affricates, which begin with complete occlusion but then release into a fricative-like release, such as .Zsiga, Elizabeth.
