Product Information

In addition, minimally processed soy foods, such as soybeans, tofu, tempeh, and edamame, appear to improve cholesterol levels more than processed soy products and supplements ( 13). May help protect heart health By binding to estrogen receptors in the body, soy isoflavones are believed to help somewhat reduce the severity of these symptoms. Chopped bell peppers or green beans are other vegetables that you can consider using if you wish to. Out of all the regions that have zhajiangmian, Beijing style seems to be the most popular. In Beijing style, they combine yellow soy bean paste, soy bean paste with chili and sweet wheat paste for the sauce. Some would also add a dry bean paste for added flavour. The only downside to this dish is that it is traditionally quite oily. If you don’t like too much oil, you can just spoon it out. Alternatively, you can make Taiwan style zhajiangmian by using ground pork instead of pork belly which is also a lot easier and faster.

This process involves soaking the beans for several hours, rubbing them together to remove the skins, and then boiling them until they soften. Afterward, it’s important to let the boiled beans cool down completely. Bring the soup to the boil, and reduce the heat to low. Add the soy milk to the soup, then simmer on low heat for a couple of minutes. Be careful not to let it boil after adding the soy milk as it will cause the soy milk to curdle. And if you’re looking for a low-carb/gluten free option, I’ve got a variation on this recipe using spiralized sweet potato noodles just for you! Dry roasted peanut : I prefer unsalted peanut but lightly salted is also usable based on your preference.

Soya Noodles

In one study, women with high intakes of soy isoflavones were 1.3–1.8 times more likely to give birth following fertility treatments than those with lower soy isoflavone intakes. However, men may not experience the same fertility-boosting benefits ( 28, 29).

Soy sauces– The dominant flavour in this sauce, I’m using a combination of dark and light soy sauce here. Together they deliver the flavour and colour I am aiming for. Dark soy sauce has a more intense flavour and stains the noodles a beautiful mahogany colour you can see in the photo below. The light soy sauce adds extra savour without too much colour so the sauce doesn’t get too dark. See recipe notes for how to switch these out, and more on different soy sauces here! Dark Soy Sauce: this is the secret ingredient in Asian cooking that turns things a lovely golden brown colour! It is different from regular (sushi) style soy sauce. If you made this recipe with regular soy sauce, it will still work, however, the colour will be lighter than shown in the photos throughout the post. However, the protective benefits of soy were only observed in Asian women, while Western women appeared to experience little benefit ( 40). Finally, this recipe is vegetarian, but if you’re looking for a more veggie heavy pan-fried noodle dish, try our Vegetable Chow Mein.

Here are my sub ins and outs that you might be thinking about as you read the post and I will tell you if I think they will work or why they won't: For instance, one review suggests that ingesting 100 mg of soy isoflavones per day may reduce ovarian function and reproductive hormone levels — two important fertility factors ( 31). Toasted sesame seeds: These are used for seasoning. Sugar is optional, so use it according to your preference if you want a hint of sweetness. Green onions: these add both an onion flavor as well as pops of colour to the dish. We need only finely slice them with a knife and chopping board.
