Authentic Dan Dan Noodles From Scratch (四川担担面)

[@kevingarner1558]

Mandy, don't ever apologize for "talking a lot", all the detail you give us is what makes you such a good teacher and helps us to be successful at making your wonderful recipes! This one looks wonderful and is actually more than one recipe. You always give us so much information! Thanks for your hard work and I wish you much continued success!

[@nesianhoney94]

Yes! Love all your detailed and informative tips and methods and your ingredient lists and amounts. Ever grateful for your videos.

[@xchorro]

seriously! i love how descriptive and engaging she is

[@shirleywong4684]

Don’t worry, you do NOT talk too much. I LOVE LOVE LOVE how clear and thorough you are about every step. And you really think of everything! From the tools, to the ingredients, to the written recipes, etc. Thank you for being so helpful! ❤️

[@benzuckerman]

Beautiful recipe. There are a lot of people teaching Chinese cooking on KZbin - you are one of the VERY BEST! Love your recipes! Keep up the great work!

[@savithrivenugopal]

I second that 😉

[@Cucababy5]

Keep up the great wok*

[@pinkmonkeybird2644]

I love her and Chinese Cooking Demystified. The latter really goes into depth for each recipe and tends to use obscure ingredients, but I’ve learned so much from both channels.

[@benzuckerman]

@@pinkmonkeybird2644 I agree 100% - those are my favorite two "Chinese Cooking" Channels. There are others that are good, but these are the two best and most consistent in my opinion. I hope they are both successful and prosper, as I have learned quite a bit from them. SO much better than just reading a cookbook....

[@nekkidbuns]

Yeh, I learned so much new stuff from just one video :S the little details like how the texture of lean meat changes vs fatty meat, why noodles should be coated with starches vs flours, etc. She is very knowledgeable and practical

[@tw7596]

You’re a natural born teacher. Your tutorial explanation is SUPERB and your video is a high quality production.

[@Hipponotapus]

Your recipes are so good! I love how vigorous they are, every detail is very well thought out. So many recipes out there do not stress the importance of using high gluten flour or high fat pork and I love that you explain why these matter. It makes a huge difference to the cooking experience!

[@ophliablue]

She is absolutely right, in spite of the fact that it is several ingredients and steps, it is so incredibly worth it. Even just the pork mixture like she said, is so amazingly delicious by itself. Whenever I have made this dish, I couldn’t stop eating the finished ground pork before finishing the rest of the dish! We are so lucky too in this day and age, that we can get all these ingredients pretty easily. It is so worth it, and you can totally buy the prepared noodles if that’s what’s scaring you off, because that cuts about 75% of the work. I’m so glad you finally posted this recipe girl! I can’t wait to make it again.

[@AaronSpielman]

I find all of your detailed commentary helpful - you really don't need to apologize to your audience for that. This recipe looks awesome!

[@parmodsharma4576]

I wish I was able to find you when I was younger and healthy. At 73 and trying to recover from a stroke can only wish! You’re food looks so delicious!

[@thetipsycookery8268]

Still got lots of foods to live for! Good luck with the recovery!

[@olyman63]

Awesome show thank you for sharing. This one I got to make. Looks so delicious and the peanut sauce is amazing. You have a great day.

[@tarekmegahed1423]

This is the best chinese cooking channel on youtube, because you don't only give an authentic recipe, you actually tell us why we do what we do. Understanding the recipe is way different than just following it. I love this channel and Magic Ingredients' channel. Ever since I started cooking Chinese at home I stopped eating out. My favorite chinese cuisine is Sichuan ♥️

[@SoupedUpRecipes]

Sorry the printable recipe was late, super busy lately. Here it is - soupeduprecipes.com/authentic-dan-dan-noodles-from-scratch/

[@tww15tube]

You are the absolute best!!! Love watching your channel

[@jessicad9194]

I love watching your videos. Your instructions are so clear and thorough! I had Dan Dan noodles when I visited NYC last year. This makes me want to attempt to make them!

[@Apocalypz]

*hands down* Agreed! She is one of the best instructors for Chinese cooking on KZbin.

[@pinkmonkeybird2644]

Mandy, thank you so much for this recipe. It made all the difference for me. This is the single most helpful recipe I’ve followed to make decent homemade Chinese noodles. I finally decided to invest in a kitchenaid mixer after 30 years as a home cook, and this is the first recipe I used with the machine. Your instructions are flawless and precise; I would not have been successful without this video. I now have frozen noodles just waiting for my next bowl of soup or fried sauce toppings. You are the best!!

[@CarpeDiem-ii5fu]

I really like the fact that you give so much information and so many tips while teaching me how to make such good food.

[@hollish196]

Great tutorial about noodles! Love all the details--makes for success. Thanks.

[@SurfFishingFan66]

Firstly, I'm only at :46 into your video and I can say I appreciate your honesty and thanks for not having a cheesy intro jingle like so many others. Secondly, there many foodies on KZbin including myself who are here because we are up for the challenge and want to learn and we can get the ingredients, so no need to apologize - and thank you for sharing!

[@NMW320earth]

Yum that was really great! I tweaked the recipe. For the noodles I added 1 Tablespoon the lard fat from frying the pork as I usually put EVOO in my Italian pasta. The bread flour added chewiness to the noodles and the fat gave a silkiness. I did have the set bean paste, need to put that on the next Amazon list so I used honey for the minced pork. And we like our DanDan noodles to have more peanut/sesame sauce so I put like a 1/4 cup per dish or even more. I’m so happy there is enough noddles for tomorrow! Thanks for the recipe!

[@scottrowe533]

Thank you, Mandy, for this lesson on how to cook one of my favorite Chinese entrees. I could eat Dan Dan Noodles every week and not tire of it. Everything I have cooked from your videos has been most excellent. I take the leftovers to work for lunch, a day or two later, and my co-workers like to joke that I have taken a Chinese bride that no one knows about. 😀

[@fairchan67]

You are the best in showing Chinese cooking, as you have considered other cultures making it. Thanks for sharing.

[@cauliflowerhead2735]

I loved the way you explained everything. I used to see this dish and think I'm never gonna make it but you've converted me. Can't wait to try my hand at it!

[@kateslippers8289]

Guess I will be purchasing attachments for my Kitchen Aide. Wonderful and easy explanation.

[@richardgomes3707]

It looks SO GOOD and EASY TO MAKE!!! YAY!

[@dillonfabianfallil1942]

No you definitely don’t talk a lot. I really appreciate the care that you take and your attention to detail :)

[@Vaneice220]

I LOVE this recipe!! Please talk as much as you like. I think this is why your subscriber adore and appreciate you. I can't tell you how much your clear and concise explanation has helped me while shopping at my local Asian market🤗👍🏽

[@zimnaya]

Phenomenally good. Once tasted, never forgotten! And certainly she is one of the very, very best at explaining how things are cooked and achieved. The egg noodles are perfection and I have used them in other dishes. Wonderful! 10 out of 10 !

[@Passionforfoodrecipes]

Dan Dan noodles is just so fun to say! Your recipe looks awesome!

[@thetipsycookery8268]

Check out my Dan Dan recipe if you get a chance! Definitely not as good as Souped Up Recipes, but I'm learning ;)

[@vparetti]

Mandy has helped me up my cooking game so much. One thing I may suggest. The ingredients she shows are very important to the flavor, especially the wok. I've tried other brands and it's just not the same. Mandy is a great teacher. The food is so good, Oh my! I've been making homemade noodles since I was a kid when my grandmother taught me. Did you see Mandy fold that dough? I've never done that before and it makes so much sense. (My face is red) :)

[@lespantalonsfancie2434]

Wow, I will be making this soon for sure! The first time I ever tried Dan Dan noodles was when I followed the recipe from another YT channel - it just blew my family away with how yummy it was. I then saw it on the menu of a Chinese restaurant, but sadly it was quite disappointing compared to the one I'd made at home. Now I would very much like to give this one a go as it looks ever more amazing 😋. Thanks for this very comprehensive tutorial.

[@michaelminasian4891]

I finally got a chance to make this tonight! Absolutely amazing. I made Hon yo style chili oil from Chinese cooking demystified, but otherwise followed your instructions exactly. My only note is that I ended up using about 2/3 of the noodles for my 2 servings tonight, and with any less I think it would have been too much sauce. Soooooooooo delicious.

[@lws08141]

I love your videos. So detailed and effective. Thank you

[@Armymum13]

LOVE the bowl you served the dan dan noodles in!!!!! This looks SOOO good!!!

[@jw6451]

amazing recipe!! thank you

[@geerussell]

I love this dish and make it pretty often with some shortcuts and make-aheads so it's about 15 minutes start to finish when I need to feed my dan dan addiction. Store-bought noodles, packaged lean ground pork, a jar of the final sauce mix to taste (sesame + chili oil + sugar + sichuan peppercorn powder + vinegar, etc) in the fridge and a jar of chili oil on the shelf. A quick fry up, boil the noodles, cut some scallions, assembly and I'm good to eat . The sauce mix is so good that I will often use a little bit of it to punch up other things. Mix in with mayo for burgers and sandwiches, etc.

[@maine9319]

Thanks for the tip

[@lancelotdufrane]

My Dear,.... YOU are an ARTIST!! I will likely not make this beautiful dish, but your talent is pure pleasure to watch....... well done!....You put “cooking” shows to shame....thank you.

[@JamieRoberts77]

I will definitely give this recipe a try! With some patience and time, you get something delicious, and it looks great for the winter time weather! Thank you as always, Mandy!

[@lachlan00c]

best dan dan recipe i have seen so far, been eating and making it for years

[@cindy2418]

Thank you for the delicious recipe

[@fabioconsonni3232]

I love these "from scratch" videos... Dan dan Noodles done. Thank you

[@mrd9147]

Fantastic film. Thank you for your clear instructions. They way you break it down makes it easy to follow. Delicious!!!

[@susangarland6869]

"The traditional bowl only holds 4 bites." Switches to a bowl five times larger. That's my girl!

[@CityColourr]

You are the best channel I have seen recently! I really like your style of teaching, and the way you talk is perfect! Thank you for this delicious recipe and history lesson ☺️

[@SoupedUpRecipes]

Thank you for your nice compliment. That encourages me to continue to make more delicious recipes. New videos coming out every Wednesday. Hope you keep enjoying them. Mandy❤

[@felliesweetie]

You are an amazing teacher! May God bless you.

[@1001reasons1968]

I really enjoyed your explanation of the pork and fat ratio and I can't wait to try this for myself. Thank you.

[@emitamura]

Great video! I love recipes like this with thoughtful instructions and insights that are in depth. It gives respect and integrity to the dish and just food in general! There's too much "quick and easy" in our world today, in my opinion! Thank you for this video!

[@davidogan]

Excellent video on all level! Thank you.

[@oneDonly]

I'm only through the noodles part and I've already got so many good ideas.

[@nancyriley3929]

Mandy, Another great recipe! Thanks

[@elizabethletsoso2558]

Girl Mandy you're something else in that kitchen Lol 😂😂😂 Happy New year and everyone watching💕💕💕👍👍👍

[@dancewithoutme]

This is the best Dan Dan Noodles recipe I've ever found. Thank you!

[@paigebernal6570]

This was an amazing video. I’m gunna give it a try. Ps. You never talk too much. I’ve rewatched over 6 times and i never need to fast forward because everything is important. Thank you for such great content.

[@ohmbuoy1]

Don't ever apologize for talking.... you are very informative and have a charming, helpful talk!

[@horses4555]

Love this channel. I lived with a Chinese family for a couple months and you make all the dishes they did.

[@dushmaestro]

Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe. It is a lot of work to make noodles from scratch and the chili oil etc but came out extremely flavorful and delicious

[@sharonw9229]

Love your videos, love the recipes and the in depth clear and precise directions. Also love the links provided for recipes and products. I love this channel and your personality! You are so deserving of a Food Network show ASAP.

[@zeplichal]

This is the best Dan Dan Noodles Recipe on KZbin. Believe me, I tried them ALL.

[@michellewong9595]

I'm so glad to have found this channel! I can't wait to share authentic, homemade Chinese food with my dad, family, and friends. Thanks!

[@michellewong9595]

Oh! And if you could share the Changsha-type snack noodles or "dry alkaline noodle" recipe, I'd die of happiness ^_^

[@Rudy2053]

Young lady.....you are wonderful. I'm very glad to have found you, and your recipes are amazing and so your presentations.

[@mollyparker1498]

I've watched a bunch of different dan dan noodle videos, and this one is by far looks the best! I'm very excited to try making it! 🍜🧡

[@robpound8163]

I had the opportunity to visit Mianyang back in 2017. I had the Dan Dan noodles at dinner with our group. It was incredible! I couldn't wait to come home and try the recipe. I would say it was very good for a first attempt at making it. Even purchasing the premade noodles it take a fair amount of effort. But, it was fun to make the recipe. Nothing else like it anywhere! Fantastic! I thoroughly enjoy your channel and the recipes. Next for me will be Kung Pao chicken...

[@jazmindodds]

Your channel is a godsend, I absolutely delight in trying all of these recipes as you explain them so well!

[@jacquelinewu3277]

I enjoy watching your cooking! Easy steps to follow and you make me hungry everytime!!😂😂

[@rainfalls6501]

It's easy to watch your instructions even though everything is made from scratch.. Your amazing!

[@dmlockwood]

I sure do learn a lot by watching your videos. Always a great job... Thank you!

[@kittycat888]

This recipe looks amazing!! Thank you Mandy!!

[@Bear-cm1vl]

Ms. Mandy, you keep talking; I am learning from every word and enjoy your enthusiasm. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your joy of cooking!💛

[@t3r1camp]

Those are the most beautiful noodles. Thank you for explaining how to make them with less water. I make my own noodles and have a hard time. Thank you for sharing! I love your videos!

[@masuir4049]

[@hilohaianmolinere7168]

When a dish is as good as dan dan Noodles its worth the time and work. Thanks You for posting this amazing recipe. I fell in love with dan dan noodle in Queens New York 20 years ago.

[@mariap.thisislife8735]

Your recipes smell wonderful. Thanks for the way you present your recipes and where to get the hard to find items. 👍☺️

[@yuriynataliaartemenkofamil5889]

I USED YOUR RECIPE FOR PEPPER STEAK, AND IT WAS GREAT! I STILL USE THIS RECIPE REALLY OFTEN. THANK YOU! 😊❤️😁

[@susantsunar9492]

You are really good in talking I personally loved watching your video nicely explained.

[@MartySantiago350]

Dan Dan noodles were the first Sichuan dish I ever tried!!! Sooooo good

[@kalebeyond8579]

Love your cooking skills and recipes 💕👍🏼

[@keeponswimming8848]

Made this quickly for lunch with package noodles and store bought chili oil...it was so good. Thanking for sharing.

[@michellebulawit1482]

I tried your Sesami Chicken its delicious. Thank You for giving us authentic recipes. Love from the Philippines.

[@igibon8]

I am a subscriber to your channel. Thoroughly enjoying your cooking and instructions. Thank you so much. A great instructor is truly hard to find.

[@monaandersson3644]

I apprichiate that you always show things from scratch ❤✌

[@kebinchen8585]

Love to see a cook with literature and language abilities.

[@amadeoquilici242]

I ate Dan Dan Mien pretty much every week when I went to university in China. This recipe looks like the real deal. If you open a restaurant one day, please do it in Los Angeles. You are my favorite cook.

[@markrush2107]

This looks absolutely fantastic. I love noodles.

[@katl8825]

I started wearing bright red lipstick recently and suddenly I have even more respect for you, being able to slurp those noodles so deliciously without losing the lipstick everywhere!

[@SoupedUpRecipes]

LOL! I do get lipstick on things in the real life.

[@jonhunter8725]

I appreciate the longer videos

[@physicskid]

Thank you for taking the time to present how to make noodles using the Kitchen-Aid Mixer. Whether I'd invest in it is up to me but I will keep today's video bookmarked so that I may re-watch the dough preparation section.

[@blurglebox]

loved your dough lamination technique, and your recipes overall!

[@cookingsimplydelicious]

Looks so good recipe you made, thank you for sharing your recipe.

[@rodmckenzie9089]

Wow! That dish looks fantastic. Thank you for such detailed explanation and demonstration. 😋

[@amadeoquilici242]

This is my favorite Chinese dish. I used to eat Dan Dan Noodles three or four times a week when I lived in the PRC. The stall I used to eat them at had their own homemade pickled mustard greens. I've never found any that could match those. This recipe is the closest I've seen. She is right, it's a lot of work but your family will inhale this dish. She is the best chef on KZbin

[@fl0verzy]

i’m from ukraine, and we have a wonderful chinese restaurant in our city, where chinese chefs work, they even have “tofu, chef’s mother style” and they served dan dan noodles, they are a big part of my childhood and i love them so much😭😭

[@PeachfacedAnimals]

I never had this before so I didn’t know what to expect but holly molly it was REALLY good! All of my family loved it. Thank you!!

[@maryjoylaniohan1519]

Hello :) I have been a silent follower of you for three years. I watch you to better my knowledge about cooking, since my mother is a half-Chinese. She always call out my ignorance because of putting 2 cups of water in an already-made adobo sauce. Although I already have grown out of that stage since I was 7, I still can't help but being inferior to my mother's niece (the competition is still high). I'm so glad I found you, even if I'm already an education graduate. There is also one thing I like about your cooking video. You're putting in small details about the history of the food, just like this one. I am not fluent in reading, but I can see some small snippets of the details. So when my co-teacher discuss history and I happen to overhear her while passing through the school hallways (I am a Physics teacher), I would subtly pull her out of the class and slightly correct her details (she is more familiar with Korean history because she is a fan of the country's idol groups). I have a predicament, though. I am assigned to teach Asian history. Even if I am good at history, I am not familiar with the other country's histories. And from what I can see from your video, you have shown some kind of a textbook. Can I know the title of that book (if it is)? I'll learn the text, even if it means that I'll have to unlearn my previous study. Thank you and God bless :)

[@SoupedUpRecipes]

Hi, thank you for always watching my videos. I don't have a text book. The pictures that I showed in this video was found online. Sorry that I can't help. Mandy

[@SaltyJim]

Hi Mandy, made this today. Delicious. Found all the correct ingredients.

[@sammyqq-di2yr]

You always put in so much work and i always enjoy watching you.

Lol🤣🤣🤣then go for it booo

[@charlestaylor3241]

I love to hear you talk and you explain thing really well. Your doing perfect

[@jintapapetc9840]

Thank you for this recipe. Between you, Food Ranger, and Chinese Cooking Demystified, I have been exploring the delicious intricate flavors of authentic Chinese cuisine. For this recipe, I combined your ingredients with Chinese Cooking Demystified's version and it came out absolutely delightful! My second batch, I decided to fry the pork with all the ingredients you and Chinese Cooking Demystified's listed and added spicy black bean sauce and Pixian Doubanjiang (for its irresistible aroma) and topped it all off with Laoganma Spicy Chili Crisp. OMG my taste buds and nostrils were in food heaven!

[@phyllis262]

Thanks once again, for all the valuable detail. You are delightful.

[@qplazmification]

I just made this recipe, it’s so good that I made three meals in a row. Thank you!

[@richprice5609]

Oh you’re killing me, I’m starving watching this😳, everything you make is soooo good. Well time for breakfast!

[@kativ46]

GREAT recipe! Made it today and everyone raved about it, Thank you,
