擔擔麵 (Dan Dan Mien)

I learned how to make this (among a couple billion other things) at a family friend’s house. She was giving me a crash course on cooking food before I ran off to college. Her food is amazinggggg. There are no measurements for ingredients though because everything’s to taste. You kinda just figure out what works best.

I think this recipe traditionally calls for pork, but since we both don’t consume pork, it was axed from the recipe. :O Feel free to add it if it floats your boat?
