炸醬麵

炸醬 is fried soybean sauce (炸 is fried and 醬 is sauce). 麵 is noodles, so 炸醬麵 is fried sauce noodles.

Zhajiangmian, the Mandarin pronunciation of this dish, consists of noodles topped with a thick soybean sauce. Although it originated in Shandong, there are popular variations in other regions (notably Beijing, which mixes yellow soybean paste into the sauce), and countries (Jajangmyeon in Korea, Jajamen in Japan).
