Spicy peanut paste noodles

Spicy peanut paste noodles
Zhajiang Noodles is one of the signboards of old Beijing. It is the favorite fast food of the people and the gold medal food of my family. But authentic old Beijing Zhajiang noodles have meat. Even the vegetarian Zhajiang noodles provided in the Zhajiang noodles restaurant also have eggs in them. Those who do not eat eggs are strictly vegetarian. There are no vegans in my family... But this vegetarian fry sauce is really delicious. I used mushrooms and dried tofu instead of meat, and added Xinhe Huang Feihong spicy peanuts. This sauce is quite nutritious. It tastes spicy and salty with a hint of sweetness. Coupled with the strong aroma of peanuts, it is really delicious...
