I can't read Chinese, but have always thought this one is more the "cha jiong mien" sauce with fermented bean paste, as opposed to real "dan dan mien" with peanut sauce.

What if I tell you that this is one of the ingredients for the soup base?

I would not be surprised that Lee Kum Kee supplies the sauce even if it is created by Cathay. But, I doubt that Cathay will create its own sauces.

I actually pronounce it as "Zha Jiang Mian" or 炸酱面 if you read Chinese."

I personally can prepare 炸酱面 from scratch. I like ground pork in the sauce and equal parts of spicy and sweet black bean sauce. I use medium-width flour noodles and add sliced cold cucumber on top. Excellent stuff!
