Hey guys, a few notes: 1. So one of the less glamourous aspects of doing what we do is keeping tabs on food trends and such. Over the past half year or so we’ve seen a number of videos here on KZbin surrounding the concept of ‘chili garlic noodles’ - when we’ve seen them, we just couldn’t help but think of these garlic dipping sauce noodles from up in the Northwest. In an interesting bit of symmetry though, the genesis of this ‘chili garlic noodles’ thing seems to have been this Tik Tok video www.tiktok.com/@tiffycooks/video/6900268026663292162?lang=en , which was making a sort of ‘homestyle’ youpomian (also a Northwestern dish). Nice video (and much better than some of the ‘chili garlic noodles’ I’ve seen on YT :) ). 2. So this is a larger serving size - should be enough noodles for about four people in the context of a larger meal. Our suggestion would be to have four smaller bowls for each person, and have them serve themselves the amount of sauce they like/need for dipping. This way, if you have a bit of leftover sauce, you can still store it (as people won’t be dipping their noodles in the entirety of the sauce directly). 3. Because you definitely might have a bit of leftover sauce. Save it, it’s awesome to have around. We used some leftovers the other day to top over some blanched lettuce: i.imgur.com/cimbgIA.jpg Also a fantastic base for some cold smashed cucumbers. 4. For dipping sauce noodles, kudaimian (a.k.a. Biang Biang Noodles) are also a very popular route to go. So you can defintiely use Biang Biang as the noodles if you’re so inclined. If you’re in the market for a recipe, check out our old Biang Biang video here if you like: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZqln35reciKebc The one addition we’d make to that video is that if you’re having trouble with Biang Biang, try using some 00 Pizza Flour - works much better for pulled noodles. 5. You also often see people add pumpkin or spinach to these noodles. Mostly for color, but it’s also a nice way to incorporate even more vegetables into the meal. That’s all I can think of for now :)

Hi! just two question, you mention "Dark chinese vinegar", could I assume that black vinegar will work with this as well? Additionally, how long would the noodles theoretically last, in the fridge or otherwise? I really like the idea of having this as somewhat of a lazy meal! Take everything out and just throw it together after a long shift. Just thought I'd add, I love the channel, been subscribed for a few years now after having stumbled across your story about Lao Gan Ma, and the recipe for making it at home when I was first beginning my journey into Asian cooking!
@ChineseCookingDemystified2 жыл бұрын
@@misteraltherith So yeah! We use the term 'dark Chinese vinegar' to refer to both Shanxi Mature Vinegar (陈醋) as well as Chinkiang Vinegar (镇江醋). These two vinegars have different flavors, but in the context of *certain* recipes (like this one) can be used interchangeably. Perhaps I should use the nomenclature 'Chinese black vinegar' to avoid confusion. I suppose I've always seen the term 'Chinese black vinegar' to specifically refer to Chinkiang vinegar, and want to use something that feels a bit more... general... to refer to times when Mature Vinegar would also work (or actually be slightly preferable).
@misteraltherith2 жыл бұрын
@@ChineseCookingDemystified Thanks for replying. It is entirely logical to use the specific term when considering a discussion in your chosen field when all parties understand the language and the difference between the different ingredients, however the more general approach, and the use of relatively popular nomenclature, would also be helpful to those less informed. Your approach of adding additional notes as a comment would be perfect for this, as I expect those that have such questions would be more than happy to look through your delightfully detailed foot notes.

That sauce looks both incredible and pretty straightforward. I'm going to try it with my favourite lazy fresh noodle, based off the technique for Maangchi's kimchi sujebi video kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZjSl6x4j9x4oqM - basically make a ball of dough, let it rest for a few hours so the gluten can develop, then stretch and tear off pieces directly into the pot. I like to make a few portions at a time, so I can just grab a ball of dough from the fridge, and I can have thick, chewy, fresh noodles in a similar amount of time as cooking dried ones. I'm curious as to whether there are Chinese noodles that use the same technique - maybe in the northeast, near Korea?
