[@TF-fv6lt]

My little family of four love your food! I cook your meals literally 3 to 4 times a week!!! Thank you!!!

[@AaronandClaire]

So happy to hear that!! Please say hello to your lovely family members~ 😍😍😍

[@jennfischetto]

I LOVE the way Claire describes the food. She's so descriptive, and I love listening to her. And, of course, everything that Aaron makes looks amazing. 🥰

[@mariamdoll7294]

Right

[@fretless05]

I LOVE Sichuan peppercorns, especially when they're toasted. They have an almost citrus-like brightness and aroma. This dish used to be intimidating, but you've shown how simple it can be!

[@mostlyvoid.partiallystars]

I just read your acknowledgement to Claire at the back of the book and totally cried. Love y’all and am so excited to try so many of these recipes!

[@jamesclark5905]

Whenever life gets tough, I just remeber you guys and I dont worry about it. Life advice along with cooking advice.

[@iamenigma2022]

Aaron, you crack me up. Sorry, your show was too late, I already threw the play station out the window. Claire, I just love your wonderful commentaries and how you make everything sound so good lol. I'm trying this Dan Dan noodles for the first time too, thanks to you both!

[@tamraburris4268]

Thanks for all the delicious recipes. Looking forward to buying your book soon. Much love to you both!

[@patriciahighton3117]

Just found you guys. The “don’t worry about it,” makes me grin every time 😂 loved this simplified version. One of the very few Chinese dishes I can get my husband to eat!

[@selinasnowdon2834]

Love Dan Dan noodles, I didn’t have any fermented mustard greens once so used sauerkraut and it did the job

[@mistymelendez8519]

Definitely trying this! I've already tried a few things from your cookbook. Loving all of it so much. Thank you!

[@AaronandClaire]

I'm so happy to hear that you're enjoying my cookbook. Thank you!!!😍😍😍

[@Earle29]

I ❤ Claire. Her enthusiasm when taste testing is so enchanting. And she doesn’t take little tiny bites, she goes for it!!!

[@theresalarson5298]

All your recipes are really easy enough to follow and besides it makes me miss Korea born and raised but in States.

[@usafan96soren20]

Alright you made my favorite dish 🤩🤩🤩 now I love you and Claire even more ❤️ Much love from Italy

[@AaronandClaire]

Love you MORE, my friend! lol So glad to hear from you! Hope you’re doing well! 😍

[@markcorrigan9815]

Just this week i was thinking about the 마라불닭볶음면. It's not available in my country anymore and i have always missed the taste. Now you make this video about sichuan noodles! FINALLY i can enjoy Mala again! Thank you so much you have changed my life!

[@AaronandClaire]

Yay! Can’t wait! Please let us know how it goes! 😍

[@sandy_sd10]

Thanks for all your hard work I have used your recipes so much ❤️ 💕

My son bought me your cookbook for Christmas!! I LOVE IT!! ❤️🤍💙

[@mirthblaster36]

Mmmm looks delicious! And Claire is the best taste tester!

[@dominark2730]

You had me at noodle😀 and the end result dang it looked so good, so simple too im gonna have to try this, thx Aaron and Claire for this made my day😇

[@AaronandClaire]

Your kind comment made my day too! Thanks for watching! 😁

[@jrmint2]

I’ve seen 10s of dozens of Dan Dan noodles videos. The game changer here was sichuan peppercorn oil!! Omg ❤ GAME CHANGER!! How did I never know of its existence? Best tip ever. Thank you 😊

[@JoltNet]

Aaron, I love your narration style! I’m hooked!

[@waywardbard]

I love how authentically Claire is responding to her first try of dandan. It really is an addictive dish, once you've had it.

[@choikof9725]

For those who dont cook with alcohol, apple juice is good substitute for chinese rice wine. Its does the same. Although Chinese rice wine is used in many dishes you cant tell the difference to be honest. Especially when there are a lot of strong flavours involved.

[@krisskishiyama8886]

Oooey gooey asmr when Claire stirs those noodles.

[@stax6092]

That playstation bit is hilarious. Also, everything looks delicious like always and can't wait to try it out.

[@rebeccamcroberts336]

I love these noodles, tried them years ago at Monkey King noodle shop in Dallas, TX. So freaking good! Thanks for the recipe, I hope it's as good as it is at the shop.

[@AaronandClaire]

Hope you love this version, too! Please let us know how it goes~ 😍

[@Baneofdecay]

This looks absolutely amazing

[@AaronandClaire]

Thanks Mike! 😎👍

[@Baneofdecay]

@@AaronandClaire thank you legends

[@phluphie]

Arron, I'm sorry to hear about losing your Playstation. But thank you for giving the rest of us the heads up. Claire! Give the boy back his Playstation.

[@ellenlee8297]

I love you so much Aaron, the way you talk & your personality. I love ALL your food videos. I made two of your noodles recipes & kimchi fried rice. They all turned out SO GOOD. I LOVE kimchi fried rice & now i don’t have to drive 45 minutes to this one place to get it. It’s even better than that place. Please don’t go anywhere Aaron

[@akindofmagick]

We will be making this dish tonight!! But: can you please share a recipe for Crispy Garlic Chili Oil? It is sooo expensive!! $11-$45 for a small jar in the USA (seriously!!)!!

[@AaronandClaire]

Challenge accepted!😎

[@unknownname7305]

New to this channel and I love Claire's review of Aaron's cooking, lol 😅 I REALLY need make a trip to the local Asian market to pick up some of these ingredients! Then I can make some yummy for my tummy! 😋

[@christophereverett2353]

toasted chopped peanuts are a must in this dish along with toasted sesame seeds

[@havik7954]

I lived in Sichuan for about a year and fell in love with the food there. Now, that I've left Asia, I can't go a week without some Sichuan food and dandan noodles is definitely the dish I most often cook.

[@basby76]

Just made this tonight for dinner, oh man this might be my favourite new dish! Couldn’t find the Yacai you had but found some pickled mustard greens and still delicious.

[@coolingwinds]

Hi Aaron! Bought the cookbook. Love your channel. 😊The sesame paste on screen looks like sesame peanut paste, not sesame paste in the description box. Does it matter whichever one is used?

[@rugniravatar]

Love your Eminem reference! This looks awesome, I've been watching you for about a month, tried a bunch of new noodles and preparations thanks to you. Gotta try this one! Thank you!!

[@AaronandClaire]

You noticed it!!! 🤣 Thanks for enjoying our recipes! So glad to hear it~! 😍

[@PandoraSaysSo]

That looks amazing 👏 You have such a talent for making dishes like this feel attainable for anyone. Thank you@

[@baalirock8727]

I really enjoy Dan Dan noodles, so I'm looking forward to trying this one. Great looking recipe!

[@redcomet0079]

*Aaron you’re right, I crave this thing everyday* 🍜

[@mcroxmysox]

I absolutely LOVE dan dan noodles! Thank you for teaching me how to make it!

[@wellplayed3995]

Lol the ginger bits every time is hilarious, no problem!

[@squareeyephoto]

I'm gonna make this a go to at our household...that sauce is heaven! Thanks Aaron!

[@justalittletoointrusive]

just followed your recipe for dinner :) amazing, thank you

[@cameoclinton1093]

Just visiting Seoul from Sydney We had delicious tan tan noodles for lunch with dumplings and KFC. Yummy

[@KellysCreativeDreams]

Hi Aaron. I love watching you cook and am anxious to try some of the simple dishes. Here in the US, some 'Chinese' buffet's serve peanut butter chicken. The sauce is like a creamy peanut butter served with slices of fried chicken. I want to replicate the sauce. Can you help? Many Blessings!

[@wolfman011000]

I would like to point out that asian seasame seed pasted is made with toasted seasame seeds while tahini is normally it is made with raw hulled sesame seeds and there is a large flavour difference. My local thai market has canned Pigeon Fermented Mustard Green 140g and they are pretty good, but we preffer Leng Heng Seasoning Pickled Green Mustard with chilli, NOT from amazon uk they cost X3 the price of elsewhere online.

[@WinnfreysKitchen]

Aaron, we need to see your face whenever the master taster, Claire, is reviewing the food! 😆 Love this recipe!!❤

[@bonniepwtf]

Our spicy Claire added even more heat and lived to tell the tale! That looked so delicious. 🌶🧄🍜

[@AaronandClaire]

Lived to tell the tale… 🤣🤣😂❤️

[@GazeRock123]

Thank you for the recipe Aaron! I'm going to make it for the 3rd time soon 🤣.

[@HyperactiveNeuron]

I can't tell you how great it is to live in an American city with such great international markets. All I had to do was just look and go. In places where English is not the language people are eager to help me learn and get what I want and need. I just wish Korean pears were cheaper LOL!

[@shadowpapito]

Thank you I really needed that

[@laniesider2586]

Excited to try this dish ♥️ love your personality

[@anniebell1977]

Awesome, Aaron! You always make me hungry and laugh at the same time! Claire is adorable too!

[@eileenre]

Aaron, I loved the recipe and I'm sure I will love the dish. But I don't have sesame paste, only Tahini and peanut butter. Can I use one of this options?

[@neilmacdonald9501]

I love this and will try it but noodles are ruining my life! Hey aaron, i trusted you! Now i have the impossible decision between jjamppong and jjajangmyeon. It's got complicated 😂

[@AaronandClaire]

Still Choosing Jjajangmyeon or Jjamppong is the hardest decision in my life 🤣🤣🤣🤣

My wife is also a gamer so no worries about the Playstation. But I still make her amazing food that looks beautiful because I love her. She is the Claire to my Aaron lol. I love cooking for her, she loves eating it, and she even does the dishes!

[@lisajel52]

My Dan Dan takes 2+ hours to make. You’re so fast! I don’t think you’re making it like I am Aaron. Of course, wine drinking is part of my cooking time. I’ve rewritten all of my recipes to include it. LOL JK, I’ve been making this for 30+ years. Mine may not be authentic but I found it in the Seattle Times newspaper all those years ago! One of my favorite dishes!

[@Cherryblossom-ink]

i have your cook book its awesome i brought it on amazon love your food i even got myself a rice cooker i hope u guys do a dessert cook book and a drink cook book u guys are cool thanks for making this book its fantastic keep being awesome

[@petkewec2141]

Made Dan Dan noodles (actually linguine) tonight. Good grief delicious! Have your cookbook. What recipes have Korean chili sauce?

[@Pammellam]

Aaron, you are not supposed to use the little black seeds that come with the Sichuan peppercorns. They are bitter. The outer reddish wrappers are what you use. This recipe looks great! I will try it.

[@fredlau7635]

That's as good as it comes. You the man, Bravo. 😂🎉🍁

My takeaway from this recipe? That freakin chili oil! The delicious flavor came right through my screen!

[@lindamccarthy8887]

I love your microwave that's cool. I like how you whisper MSG, that's funny in the United States a lot of people frown on it but I use it anyway cause it helps everything taste better. I like how you say trust me and don't worry about it that's funny and I do trust you. I love this channel. I hope you're enjoying that Play Station!

[@DragonGeminiSan]

Nice recipe! Btw, I got my copy of your book. It's really the best Korean cookbook.

IMHO it helps to have a Chinese name to some harder to find items, like 碎米芽菜 (preserved mustard greens). Nice recipe!

DanDan Mien is probably my favorite noodle! I prefer a bit less liquid in the sauce but that's just my preference :)

[@cme3344]

🤫 Funny, that whenever he mentions MSG, it's whispered, like a bad word. 😆 I have to drive 1 1/2 hours to get dan dan noodles. Now I'll make it myself and have it whenever I want to. Thank you!!!

[@tanyaparker776]

I've actually had Dan Dan Noodles before and loved it!!! I HAVE to try your recipe now because it seems creamy and I think it would be a beautiful mouth feel. Thank you for sharing❤️

[@mokumboi19]

I've only tried to make dandan noodles in places where some proper ingredients were scarce, so there was definitely some finding good substitutes involved. But it always came out pretty close. There's actually two kinds of dandan noodles, this Szechuan version (which is my favorite) and the Hong Kong version which is more like a soup, really (not my favorite, the balance is way out of whack and the broth washes out the creamy sauce).

[@classical7]

Yummy 😋👍

[@y3ll]

I'd love to try this but Yacai is impossible to get where I live, even no way to find this online

[@Dr_Ryan-uu4rk]

I ate something like that in Wuhan, they called it chachamian. Very delicious Raganmian with minced meat

[@2Much2lose]

You sound like a mixture of Bruno Albouze and Guga foods.😂 can’t wait to try this!
