This is not quick and easy but looks absolutely brilliant

[@chobo1665]

thats what I was thinking lol

[@ValueRobot]

Immediately looking for this comment

[@bensebaugh6017]

I guess if you had the butter already made? I don't think I have ever seen anyone toast dehydrated milk then add back to the butter fat. It really makes me want this on a steak.

[@BroAshley]

I guess it’s relative lol

[@jackelliott6659]

She deconstructed butter and constructed it

[@JayRolando]

The dish is so depressingly difficult to make but looks absolutely delicious 🤤

[@TheAnig140895]

The dish becomes super simple if you make the chilli oil butter before hand. I tried this and after the butter "sets" you can make a block of it and put it in the refrigerator. I did this on the weekend. During the weekday or when you want to actually eat, just make noodles with your choice of meat, for example I put in diced pancetta and then top it with the butter that was made beforehand

[@smashthestateX]

u can buy the chili oil? can u boil pasta and pan fry beef for 5 mins?

[@huttserl]

@@smashthestateX store bought chili oil w/o the butter will probably taste way different than home made chili oil w/ the brown butter lol

[@stephaniesayuri2510]

Wow what a beautiful woman

[@CharlotteLi96]

Wow! This looks sooooo good. Kathy seems really talented and explains the concepts of how to cook this very clearly.

[@apanpanpan]

wow chef kathy is drop dead ghee-orgeous

[@socialswine3656]

You’re a weird guy

[@Phoenixx713]

Y'all should uhhh.... look up the definitions of both "quick" and "easy" lmfao

[@rosiey4710]

OMG this is pretty much the same as the "beef oil" in Sichuan hotpot -- animal fat/grease does a better job in bringing all the flavors together and potentially make it even spicier than veg- chili oil. The cooled-down version looks so similar to pre-made hotpot base sold in Asian grocery stores --it's oil/fat with all the aromatics, cooled down and wrapped like a square chunk of butter. Kathy is extremely talented to use Ghee to recreate this top quality Sichuan chili oil. So so good.

[@Fen_Fox]

This recipe may not be quick nor easy but man do I wish I had the energy and the ingredients to make it because it looks so yummy

[@randomlyjme9]

There are a lot of weirdos who did not pass the vibe check in the comments 😒 These noodles look so delicious!

[@josephmiller5881]

Personable chef and a delicious dish. Cannot ask for more. Thank you for sharing, Munchies.

[@DanoLines]

Food loooks delicious but if this is quick and easy. how intricate is a proper dish LOL

[@tonysoviet3692]

You know it's a legit recipe when she's the head chef with the Shy Boyz Club!

[@usernotfound904]

Huh

@@usernotfound904 It's the umbrella group that runs all the restaurants she mentioned in the vid. They're well-known for hip Chinese food in NYC.

it tripped me out so much that her mouth seemed to not be moving while she was talking.

Okay... might as well just use butter 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@amberchen2416]

wow this looks amazing i love chef kathy 😍

[@wegotmonkey444]

Whoa did you just re-butter your ghee?

[@megahertz23]

What a genius dish! Melding brown butter and chili oil together using ghee and toasted milk powder is insanely creative. Kathy is so talented and fun on camera!

[@zachwong7324]

I don't understand why you have to use ghee + milk powder separately. It's (butter -- milk) + (milk) = (...butter??)? Can you please help me understand?

[@huttserl]

@@zachwong7324 smoke point is different with clarified butter vs regular butter iirc

[@acethabass]

THATS MY CHEF!!!! 🥲🔥🔥🔥 those noodles look fricking delicous what a cute video!! ❤️‍🔥

[@JCrozier1]

Love her energy! Can't wait to catch more videos with her!

[@SeeanK]

Woah this looks amazing! As a fellow spicy food lover I can’t wait to try this

[@vonlipi]

HELLOOOOOO! that is not quick and easy! That is super labor intensive!

[@gh8066]

ayy she cute

[@Sea_witch_]

Looks complex but so delicious, reminds me a little bit of Chapaguri (but obv different) ♡

[@Hexsean]

Not Shelf Stable. It would become shelf stable with the addition of a acid such as citric acid, PH would then need to be dropped to at least lower than 4.2. At that point its possible this becomes Non-TCS but would still have to be verified in a lab.

[@gh8066]

[@Alice_Walker]

Yeah I love garlic but I'm not fucking around with the risk of botulism

[@Necrpentance]

Y'all really need to re-title this video there is no way any of this is quick let alone easy for home cooks. Vice is known for being out of touch but damn y'all just leveled up here...

[@NeoTemplar]

Not quick and easy.

[@4realdustin]

This looks absolutely scrumptious and worth every bit of energy required to make it. I cannot wait to come see your shop and taste some of the delicacies on my next trip back to NYC.

[@Griffin519x]

Assuming you have leftover steak from last nights dinner and you had already made the brown butter chili oil this would be quick and easy

[@bauman7962]

The simplest most complicated expensive recipe

[@Panster7]

Looks incredible not sure about the "Quick and Easy" but man I'm hungry

[@AbyssalMelody]

I want this so bad I might actually make it. This is not simple. 😮

[@allanhenriques2694]

from a distance, those chillies on her arm look like O_O

[@zaidshaikh6706]

she cant stop smiling lol

[@salmanbaloch2858]

Excellent noodles

[@ratsalad1]

If you're adding the toasted milk powder back in, why start with ghee in the first place? this looks delicious but i'm confused about that

[@nowaccki]

Higher smoke point for when you're infusing the oil with the aromatics. Butter alone would likely burn or brown, which alters the flavor.

[@MMARLZ]

I’d eat the heck of that

Another chili oil recipe in my back pocket and I still have 8 jars left from previous recipes I need to consume.

Great channel. Not a fan of msg.

[@scolkereybel]

"Quick and easy" "So, first we toast the milk powder" Its a good recipe, but this is false advertising

[@nahcold3900]

Her talk about room temp was so out of place but still so logical. And cutely put.

[@NighteeeeeY]

that is *literally* the opposite of quick and easy. this is fucking difficult and time intensive you have to prepare 20 differen things and yeah it shows shes not a chef at all. sorry.

[@skullysramen8109]

Love this recipe but wouldn’t be shelf stable from the garlic being in a vacuum in the oil

[@pattyarun]

We love chef Kathy 😍

[@CHIEF_420]

@Futura 💋 Clic canal. Jugar listas.

[@AnEpicNguyen]

Ok but how can I make this with one pack of instant ramen or cup o noodles? Bc those take 4-5 minutes

[@nicosmystery]

Probably would need to spend 67 bucks just for all the ingredients

[@stevethach3340]

I’ll take the gamble and leave this unrefrigerated and report back

[@JessseStJohn]

I enjoyed, thank you for sharing

[@jctai100]

You don't have to do the recipe all at once, the chili oil can be saved for future people, chill.

[@igiveupfine]

i wonder if we could toast the milk powder in some of the ghee to make that step easier. it looked a bit difficult to be dry toasting the milk powder. and i don't mean dumping the milk powder into the frying vege mix, because i do understand that's going at a different temp. i mean putting ghee INTO the milk powder pan.

[@nicknick9081]

Yum! What can I use in place of the schezuan? I’m not a fan of the numbing characteristics.

[@terenceaaron1999]

just remove it. use other chilies instead. Korean gochugaru works, but keep the bird's eye.

[@THEanovah]

Get salad instead

[@rbewhe1222]

Wenwen is so fucking ace, it's great to see Kathy doing this!

[@LindaAtHome]

quick and easy... but need to get ingredients people don't normally have. Why not use just butter instead. don't have milk powder....

[@socialswine3656]

I mean no reason you couldn’t. Just allows you to get more flavour out of the aromatics without burning the milk solids in the butter.

[@kiyowokiyowo8862]

You call that spicy? Embarrassing

[@albertwang3046]

I liked the part where she demonstrated how to fold the noodles. absolutely masterful plating

[@maxwaldburg4286]

How long do we think the butter lasts for do u think? Is it something that would freeze I wonder? Thanks

[@Innatefulness]

Wow that looks amazing. Would love to see a recipe modification with tofu or something to make it vegetarian :) Thanks for the awesome tutorial!

[@JacksonBrody]

I'd use a medium thick piece of seitan and season it a little more aggressively. If you can't find it, it's easy to make with vital wheat gluten, which is at a lot of grocery stores and natural food stores.

[@Fly1ngHawaiian]

Did anyone else notice that she uses 6 scallions? I’m not complaining, just saying hahaha
