Lucas Sin’s Chilled Sesame Noodles Are Your Go-To Summer Dish | Chefs At Home

[@Thinkeatdrink]

Agree. He's articulate, process driven but also adds a little bit of culinary history and context to all the stuff that he makes.

[@HiSpeedOxygen]

I feel like I paid for a 10k cooking course. He explains the ingredients - plain and simple.

[@toshiyukisuzuki7610]

Very authoritative, yet very likeable. A man who uses words like "tensile", "coup de gras" and describes the mix of ingredients as "all the chaos" reminds me that language is not only a means of communication but a very beautiful art form. He earned the additional 2 points to get 100 points by slurping his noodles with dignity and pride. Awesome vid delivered by an awesome chef!

[@josephsf2452]

I told Lucas Sin a year ago that he needs his own show or channel. One of the BEST and informative Chefs on the current culinary scene.

[@nigl2807]

@@josephsf2452 Definitely agree. I keep seeing his videos popup on different cooking/food channels but never in one place which seems odd?.

Loved every single dish he cooked

Yes! Seconded! Would watch. Would pay to watch.

[@ahtoyjuliana9173]

Love this guy - he is charismatic, confident, and true to himself. The process looked so satisfying from beginning to end. Especially the slurps! Bravo!

[@pinkapples33]

Love how seriously he takes food while also making fun of himself for being so serious. Helps him avoids the pretentiousness that’s become synonymous with chefs

[@alvareo92]

I LOVED that description of chefs as people who look at something very very simple and take it way too seriously

[@jimmyquck]

'this is a job of a chef, to take a very simple thing way too seriously' amen, this is about putting love and care into what you do and the end result is all the better for it!

Not only is this dish simple but oh so yummy. Lucas you have a great presence, can't wait to see more.

[@kawaihong]

I've been following him since last year when Covid was really bad and he was cooking meals for first line workers. He occasionally posts 'how to cook xx' stories. Great to see here on KZbin.

[@MrDuckyart]

From Shanghai and my mom used to make this just with peanut butter, soy sauce, black rice vinegar and sesame oil, sometimes with chili oil on top it's such a a comfort food for me.

[@karencheung6868]

I made this recently and topped it with shredded cucumber, boiled shrimp, and a boiled egg sliced in half. It was a hit! Great for a summer weeknight meal!

[@Sofoca]

Lucas is so charming and his excitement about the food is really contagious! Would love to see him preparing the chile oil he used at the end.

[@testdasi]

"balsamic is a good substitute"

[@P.Gillett]

in Beijing dumplings are usually served with lao chen cu (老陈醋）which you can pick up in any Chinese market, if you were missing that Beijing taste. I am a fan of having dumplings with non-traditional sauces like balsamic or whatever western hot sauce. a friend from France swears by Dijon mustard, haha.

[@chiewata]

I am on the opposite I make salad using the Chinese vinegar as sub to Balsamic 😅

[@jamesross9832]

Lucas Sin is the greatest chef on YT that's not really on YT. He needs his own channel, but is to busy being a real chef. xD

[@thomaslim3008]

So interesting how different it is as, in Korea, we always wash the noodles after cooking and strip the starch off the noodles after boiling to maintain it's shape and the buoyant texture

[@toshiyukisuzuki7610]

Watched this again after 2 years😊 That slurp's worth is more than a thousand words. It expresses appreciation, it has a physiological benefit of incorporating air into the mouth and naso-pharangeal cavity that enhances perception of different tastes, it is an expression of pride for the culinary richness of his culture and it is an excellent exercise to improve breathing and swallowing coordination. Chef Lucas Sin is hands-down the best teaching chef in KZbinland. Well done, maestro!

[@eligiusemil295]

His skin is very glowing glass skin… as a chef who exposed to flame and heat… just wow!!!

[@alexisity3]

I'm glad I'm not the only who noticed. Was waiting for someone to say so! He's beautiful!

Absolutely in awe of the young man. He explained so well, could see his passion and his knowledge through his cooking and explanation. Excellent recipe! Off I go to look for Chinese sesame paste

[@janellemaur333]

I discovered Lucas in quarantine through his awesome Instagram stories. Love seeing him being featured here. Just something about him is likable. Confident, but not pretentious, I think.

[@GothicPotato2]

Love the presentation of this guy! Everything is done for a purpose and, most importantly, he explains exactly why while he strives for that perfect noodle dish. Haven't seen this channel before, but would love to see more content from this chef!

[@foodandwine]

Glad you enjoyed it! 😊

[@JudgeyJudgeyable]

He’s so good at explaining and describing! I feel like i really understand the reason for every step

[@robertworden8559]

Lucas, as always your instruction are for those that REALLY LISTEN. Watching your shows as background is a shame, I've found more brilliant observations and instructions in your cooking style which could easily be overlooked. Keeping your head-down and listening carefully (as if you were going to be tested later) is such an asset. You are seriously a man that is well trained as highly observant and I wish all of your audience treats your valuable instruction with attention to detail and appreciation for the superb training that comes from it.

[@YRYu]

Why did I fall in love with the chef….

[@texnessa]

Fellow chef here and the way he explains the development of dishes with context and history is light years better than any other young working chef out there. Kicks the crap out of that rude Food Lab guy.

[@jiaunmew878]

Love Lucas! When I watching how he makes that dish, I’m already drooling. But with those slurps. I wanted to grab it directly from the you tube, and eat it immediately. His foodie style is contagious. 😂

[@bossman674]

He’s brilliant. This man should be GLOBAL

[@joytotha]

Explaining why you’re using each ingredient and what it adds to the dish -- yes yes yes yes THANK YOU!!!!!!!

[@oncemorewang6102]

As a native Beijing guy, I have to say this recipe has blown my mind. I can tell it is authentic & brave & creative without even taste it. I think it would be interesting if Lucas may have a chance to come to Beijing and taste Xinchuan chilled noodle 新川凉面.

[@P.Gillett]

yeah, I'm looking forward to trying this recipe. I used to get something like these noodles 鸡丝冷面 at a few Sichuan restaurants in China, tried to reverse engineer the recipe myself, but I can tell just by the list of ingredients this will be closer to those restaurant recipes, just add shreds of chicken, cucumber and carrot.

I’ve been making this type of sesame noodle dish for years based on guesswork. I just tried again using your tips with a few adjustments and wow-it turned out so good. I usually rinse my noodles but tried it without this time and it was more chewy and tasty. I’m vegan so I used veganaise instead of mayo and it really added something. I only had a tiny bit of dofu ru left so used a dollop of miso and that seemed to work. In Taiwan at vegetarian restaurants this dish is often garnished with slivered cucumber and carrot, so that’s what I did. Can’t wait to try it with sichuan pepper oil when I can get a hand on it! Thank you so much for sharing !!!! I can now make this dish with confidence and share with others.

[@sz1717]

this was SO good, nice amount of acidity from the vinegar to balance the richness. i thought it was too much sauce but it wound up being the perfect amount. respect to lucas for a well written recipe!

This video came up on my KZbin Home Screen for the first time today. Listening now, this afternoon. Have not seen your channel before, but you have such a down to earth way of explaining the how's and why's of doing things the way you do that it's clear that these methods are the best! I have loved foods from around the world since before I was twelve. Everyone would come to our house to practice/rehearse; Everyone brought a dish and a story. Thank you for sharing this extraordinary recipes! Lovely!

So friggin good. Truly off the hook. Don't miss a step and you will arrive at a tasty destination - with the right amount of chew and the perfect balance of flavors. Thanks, Lucas!

[@gd-mn2yw]

The best part of Lucas' vids are his tastings at the end. Huge bites of whatever is, like we all would take, and then the enjoyment of the flavors that aren't fake like on some channels. Really makes you want to make the dish. That egg roll video he did - yeah just like my mom made and I will attempt this year for sure.

just another tip, hot water helps smooth out the clumps faster than cold water, so if you don’t have a whisk or don’t want to break it out, use hot water. I usually use noodle boiling water

Chilled sesame noodles without peanut butter - this is a game changer for me. I used to hate it because I can't stand peanut butter which a lot of Chinese restaurants use.

Made it yesterday and it came out delicious. The sauce is dark and deeply nuanced, almost like a mole' or chocolate sauce. So yummy! This recipe is definitely a keeper. Thank you, Chef!

[@jmpht854]

Gorgeous recipe! When I tried this out I added a bit of crushed garlic 'cause of course 🙂plus some julienned cucumber since that's how these are usually served where my husband's from in 東北. So, so good!

[@leonardpearlman4017]

Wow, tremendous! Nice video, great presentation. So much KZbin stuff is about being "easy", I always love it when someone is trying to do a GOOD JOB, do it "properly"!!! Sesame sauce is always going to be good, but here maybe it's VERY good, plus we learned a few things about how to handle noodles for cold dishes, this has never come up before. I wanted to cheer at the end of this video, what a treat!

[@chengjiwei]

nicely done, this dish has been famous as a local delicacy in shanghai for many years, when I grew up in shanghai, every single street had a little shop that offered summer time delicacy chilled seseame noodles, and chilled meat sauce noodles and wonton. back then chefs poured the cooked noodle on steel board to cool it, with fans blewing the noodles. Hot summer and delicous shanghai local food. I wish I could go back to enjoy that soon.

This is always amazing to eat during summer. Highly recommend!

Nice recipe! In Taiwan we usually use oil noodles i/o flour noodles because the texture is better. And we also put fresh garlic paste in the sauce so it adds some additional strong flavour.
