I was expecting a light hearted documentary about noodles but this got really deep real quick. I have so much respect for these people starting from scratch and trying to improve their lives. Good luck

[@SauceStache]

I've tried this. its so wild, failed and failed multiple times. Couldnt move my hands for days after hahahaha This doc was amazing

[@marekkirisma7515]

But eventually, did you succeed?

[@Monduras]

I can’t believe they do this in 18 minutes

[@FirstnameLastname-rm7bm]

there's a mistranslation at 0:44 he says 100 yi, which is 10 billion, not 100 billion

[@2adamast]

Indeed they increment by 10,000 and not 1,000

[@beeorganic]

Ever try to read instructions/owners manuals for tools from Harbor Freight? It's a whole new language I call "Chinenglish".

[@nelsonbrooks]

Thank you for posting this video. I hesitate to suggest a reality TV show but, a mini-series following the young chef’s apprenticeships, graduation & ultimately landing work in local & faraway restaurants. Should the mainland Chinese filmmakers that produced; “A Bite of China” deliver this “series,” they would discover a new, international audience.

[@kurosujiomake]

Even through my time in China wasn't the best I still get nostalgic when I see my hometown get mentioned

[@eloisebasuki6668]

Great video. I find pulled noodles so mesmerizing. Loved all the characters too!

[@leonardpearlman4017]

Wow! That was great! Good production, good interviews, a vital topic. That's one of the best documentaries I've ever seen. I want to go to this city now, and would attend this school if I could. Instead of starting a noodle RESTAURANT in America, someone should have these classes, should start a branch of this school, I'm saying. What you see here is not at ALL common in America, I've only actually seen it done once in my whole life!

China is a very special country

[@shuowang9328]

@J D This is pretty hard examination after all. China is a developing country as you know. people need to work hard to get money

[@thisissteph9834]

@J D It's pretty "amazing" to see a hateful comment like this even under a small clip talking about the life of common people, just because it's about Chinese.

[@thisissteph9834]

@KLM 117 You know that many people still can't afford commercial insurance and the national scheme has quite limited coverage, right? Cars showing up everywhere is a pretty recent phenomenon, so many people living in a village are not used to cars coming in their way.

[@samathatjoa]

Ah so you are not from China? You should get out from China if you are annoyed by the government control of the internet. Its the best solution. Why did you go to China in the first place anyway if you dislike it so much?

[@shMAX]

I would watch this anime

[@sextwister]

YAK PERCENTO

[@yamizer0]

you can watch ramen daisuki koizumi chan

[@rivenmain2175]

beautiful people what an amazing school! this is a real art

[@magicturtle4765]

sun guixiang, ill be your son. teach me noodles.

[@anonymousabdallah5478]

A school for noodles 🤩

[@sophiemay7835]

Kungfu Panda's dad graduated from that school. 😁 😋 🤤

[@joshuatang69420]

This school is better than a liberal art major in the us

[@roberthuppe1864]

Great Documentary .

[@massilez6720]

Thank u 4 the video. Grettings to the all hard workers in China.

[@shouko4218]

I loved this documentary! Thank you for that ♥

[@Bonsaidownunder]

The 36 year old man from Bejing has Marfans syndrome for sure. Especially with his unfortunte retinal detachment. Start a crowdfunding for that guy to make sure his aorta isnt about to explode.

[@jademarks4469]

What the best recepe for pulled noodles

[@y2ksw1]

I take my time. 18 minutes just for thinking 😊

[@combatOracle1]

I liked it, real life is not easy anywhere in this world. 👍

[@RobertRitchie-re5pt]

How do I sign up. I’d love to do that.

[@tianshugu9283]

I feel like trying the school sometime after I can go back to China

[@topdeckdog]

I'd happily eat the think and thin noodles from the guy with bad eyes. He deserves a break

[@Fidahussain-wc8ri]

Please send a recipe

[@DavidSanR]

Any one kind enough to share the recipe for the hand pulled Lanzhou style doug? Thank you!!

[@user-pc5tk2uh4f]

My name is Andong and Chinese cooking demystified has great recipe for unprofessionals.

[@XiaosChannel]

0:48 The guy said 10 billion RMB. The subtitle is off by a factor of 10.

[@delicioushomecooking7765]

Please tell me the correct address of this school I want to get an admission?

[@PilotoAvulso]

Awesome stuff!

[@piguy3945]

5:10 Yoooo, flushing represent!

[@beeorganic]

So dedicated to the art, even the tassels on their graduation hat/cap (mortarboard) were made from noodles. Take that University of Phoenix online.

[@foxglove65]

Outstanding.

[@cfdolomiteresources7648]

nice sharing

[@huseyinallusoglu]

Is there anyone know exact recipe of dough?

[@yuchengzou2727]

there is no exact recipe dough, any well developed dough will work

[@Ernthir]

They never use a strict recipe. It's about feeling when the dough is good. somtimes more water sometimes less. It can depend on the air humidity and temperature. That's why it's difficult to make good noodles. Compare factory made noodles (where they do use a standard recipe) with hand pulled noodles and you can really feel and taste the difference. That's why some noodle shops can become very famous.

[@JakeWang-lt2fg]

100 g flour + 1 g salt + 2g soda powder + 50 g water.

[@huseyinallusoglu]

@@JakeWang-lt2fg i will try soon

[@kcfmark]

So interesting. Must be very delicious.

[@hunvan2640]

What kind of flour to use for chinese hand pull noodle

[@shuowang9328]

I remember it should be normal flour you used for bread, the key for this is you should use oil(vegetable oil is the best) to make the dough

[@dexo3406]

@@shuowang9328 how many and also when because i tried it before and it was so difficult.

[@mcblahflooper94]

It's a blend of primarily cake flour with some all purpose. Plenty of videos on KZbin here showing how to make

[@thisissteph9834]

Natural high gluten flour without protein additives.

[@DaBlackFlame58]

@@thisissteph9834 I've use bread flour and it's impossible to pull even when using 1% by weight baked baking soda (with pH of 10). I've used cake flour and you can actually pull the dough. So if you know how much sodium bicarbonate to use when using bread flour I would love to hear, because I haven't figured it out. If they are using 11.5% protein content flour I feel chinese wheat flour must be different than Western flour in some way because I can't figure it out

[@MabansAllDay]

i'm shocked.. 18 MINUTES!!?!?!?

[@timelordwarrior4394]

Yo me too dude. I dont think when I do stuff lol 10:09

[@clispyleaf]

That guy at 4:59 .. I'd have that beef with my noodles alright

[@MuhammadAli-uj1qw]

I want to go this school.. But cant fint any website or any contact of this school...!

[@rociopelayo994]

Did someone contacted with the school?

[@serchsource8744]

Hes total klutz...felt bad for him!! At least, he is getting the hang of it!!

[@ne_ny_a_scho]

Where did you make this video ? What of the city ? How to find this school ?

[@anonymous5401]

maybe you should learn how to read the description and do some 2 minute research.

[@EmiCiappi]

@@anonymous5401 I think you can spend 2 minutes reading the description before comment. There is no information about the school.

Hmm, wondering if the tall guy at 7:36 has Marfan's. Extremely tall, thin, poor vision, retinal detachment ...

[@jimscanoe]

And, of course, no recipes : (

[@sophiemay7835]

Did Kungfu Panda's dad graduate from this school? 😂 🤭 🤤 😋 😜

[@Sleexb]

i doubt most of these shops could clear 5000 rmb a day tbh

[@texxitexxi6099]

and some people say is a concentration camp :D

[@sophiemay7835]

Any boarding school in China could be labelled as a concentration camp by those ignorant and arrogant people, who take a perverted pleasure in bad-mouthing China to suit their despicable agenda.

[@FunkyPants3D]

damn

[@cfdolomiteresources7648]

mistranslation

[@jayking3063]

I understood nothing they said 👌

There's Subtitles..
