Spicy rich miso flavoured pork mixture on top of freshly cooked udon. ‘Jaa Jaa’ comes from a Chinese word ‘Zha Jiang’ which means ‘Fried Sauce’. It is normally made by simmering stir-fried ground Pork OR Beef with fermented soybean paste. I use my Japanese style Sweet Miso Sauce. Pork Mince can be replaced by Beef Mince OR Chicken Mince. This is yummy!
