炸醬麵 (zhàjiàng miàn)

Ok, so I was reading about Korean Jajangmyeon and it had a link to the Chinese zhàjiàng miàn. I've never seen this before but the ingredients were simple enough and there didn't seem to be a lot of prep time, so I went and made some for dinner. The Wikipedia site on zhajiangmian explains what ingredients should be in there. For mine I improvised a little and this is what I did.

Ingredients:

1. 1 onion
2. vegetable oil for pan frying
3. pork, not that much is needed, I probably used a piece as big as my palm
4. fermented black beans
   
5. hoisin sauce
   
6. thick wheat noodles, I used wheat spaghetti for mine because I didn't have anything else. It didn't go with the sauce.
7. cucumber
8. garlic
   

Prep.
First cut the cucumbers into very thin sticks. Move those aside. Mince the garlic, smash the black beans and cut the onions into small pieces. Now grind the pork. I didn't have two cleavers so I couldn't grind the pork the old fashion way. Nor do we have a blender, so I chopped the pork into very small cubes. Now the cooking part.
Put enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan. When it is hot put the garlic and mashed black beans into the oil and let it simmer like 10 seconds. Add the onions and cook until you feel like. The longer you cook the sweeter, so it's up to you. Or you could add in the pork and onions at the same time. The pork will cook quickly, but the onions will be more raw. Add the hoisin sauce. Add some salt to taste. Pour the sauce onto the noodles and put the cucumbers on top. The color of the sauce should look something like the picture in the Wiki article.
