In the movie, you can also see Joy add in a few dashes of Chinkiang vinegar (Chinese black rice vinegar) which I highly recommend - it also helps cut some of the oiliness and saltiness. I can spot the bottle from a mile away, one of my favorites and a staple in my family's kitchen! I remember seeing this scene and FREAKING OUT that you can see them using this specific vinegar. It lived next to the stove in my mom's kitchen along with salt, chicken bullion powder, white pepper, soy sauce, and peanut oil.

[@DianeH2038]

it lives in my kitchen, too! very distinctive bottle and label. balsamic is never a substitute for real Chinese black vinegar, IMO.

Thank you for referencing Chef Wang’s recipe for scallion oil noodles. He’s arguably the best chef for Chinese cuisine here on KZbin and I wish a lot more people saw his scrumptious creations.

[@earthknight60]

That's a much more fiddly way of doing the hand pulled noodles than the folks at the noodle shops I used to go to when I lived in China used. They'd slice off a chunk of dough, roll it into a cylinder, stretch, fold, stretch, fold, etc until they had a bunch of noodles. No-one ever sliced and made each noodle individually. They'd make a decently wide range of noodle types simply by how they held their fingers when stretching the noodles out and by how many times they stretched and folded.

[@socialdef3]

They are experts. They have been doing that in their culture for thousands of years. Give the guy a break!

[@carson4046]

He's actually tried that before, funnily enough! Earlier in the channel when he was making the soup from Kung Fu Panda I believe... Yeah, he's really bad at tossing noodles.

[@jw4985]

Depends on what kind of noodles you're making! The noodles Babish is making seems to be some kind of Biang biang noodles, where you whack and stretch the dough cut into individual noodles.

[@switzerland]

Note, this works great with all kinds of Italian pasta shapes too. The aldente adds another touch of greatness. Also, MSG is missing for those who need it.

[@randomsandwichian]

Lackin in MSG, shame on wok, shame on family

[@LordMxr]

There's always msg in the soy, when in dounle just add other aromatics like a clove of garlic or a pinch chilli flakes would work wonders

[@bigjedimullet]

A friend advised me that oyster sauce works if you can’t get dark soy sauce. Can confirm it is delicious and has that umami you want.

[@malagrug4326]

as another commenter said italian noodles work too! definitely going to make this with some spaghetti noodles when i can get my hands on some light soy sauce

[@bigjedimullet]

Currently eating this, it’s delicious!

[@MythicFox]

⁠@@malagrug4326Two tips: First, if you're using spaghetti, add a little baking soda to the pasta water (a tsp or two per liter will do). It infuses some of the alkaline nature of proper ramen noodles into the spaghetti. Second, Japanese soy sauce is close enough to Chinese light soy sauce you can use it as a substitute and likely never notice the difference.

Definitely worth. Just make sure that if you have leftovers, air tight container and must eat within 2 days. Noodles be porous and hold onto bacteria easily.

Note from China: the 拉麵 cooks just roll out the dough ball into a snake and do the pull-and-fold with that. No slicing necessary. The I pulled ends *do* get cut off though.

I haven’t seen this movie, but I know that James Hong is in it and I’m just recalling him as Po’s goose dad in Kung Fu Panda saying “we are noodle folk.” 😂

[@Belgand]

Of course he is. It's easier to list the movies that James Hong _isn't_ in.

[@tiph3802]

​@Belgand I wish that were true. Unfortunately, unless you were raised on movies that weren't mainstream Hollywood like myself and most other white kids, you likely also missed out on his work until Kung-fu Panda. I'm glad he's finally getting the recognition he deserves! The lack of inclusion in mainstream media is criminal.

[@IanWeaver]

Hey Andrew! I've been re-reading Calvin and Hobbes recently and I've always been curious about Calvin's favorite cereal: Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs. Apparently one bowl is your 100% recommended daily intake of caffeine. Also, I've always been curious about how you make cereal. So doing a cereal from scratch sounds like fun!

Rewatched this last night. Today I realized it was scallion noodles she was making and came on to find this gem.

[@NeverSeb]

Wow, that's close to the German version. In Germany we need garlic and/or onions instead of spring onions; instead of oil we work with butter. And instead of soy sauce we use liquid Maggi seasoning. But not so much. A tablespoonful of Maggi is more than enough. Sometimes we leave out the garlic and onions if we want it to go very quickly. It's absolutely fantastic.

[@CourtneyMeyer81094]

Andy, you never disappoint. Can you please do a _Basics_ on cheesecake? Maybe 3 varieties on it like New York style, cherry, and chocolate?

I love udon noodles in frozen dinners but I never actually boiled them myself before, but I've been wanting to.

Started making these after picking up the Wok by J Kenji Lopez-Alt, and it's pretty much a weekly staple. It gets better the more you eat and it's so easy!

[@flamehunter001]

Instead of lao mien, for next time I'd suggest using just white rice noodles. They are very slim and give off a smooth slurping experience, and because they are so simple and don't have flavor, the sauce adheres more and you get a nice dining experience altogether between the savory, aromatic sauce and the smooth slurping

[@JackHeadlamBJA]

Scallion noodles is my go to quick easy meal. No matter how hard the day, it's nice and easy and makes you feel better. If you crisp up the noods, even better.

If you use the typical Chinese technique of leaving the top of the scallion greens as a garnish, you can easily chop everything at once. Just use a few extra scallions at the start and save the tops when you dump the white parts into the oil. Saves on effort, tastes better since the whites have more flavor, looks better since you get more vibrant green in the garnish, and saves time since you chop everything in one whack.

[@mohammadadil8530]
