seriously! i love how descriptive and engaging she is

Don’t worry, you do NOT talk too much. I LOVE LOVE LOVE how clear and thorough you are about every step. And you really think of everything! From the tools, to the ingredients, to the written recipes, etc. Thank you for being so helpful! ❤️

Beautiful recipe. There are a lot of people teaching Chinese cooking on KZread - you are one of the VERY BEST! Love your recipes! Keep up the great work!

I love her and Chinese Cooking Demystified. The latter really goes into depth for each recipe and tends to use obscure ingredients, but I’ve learned so much from both channels.

@@pinkmonkeybird2644 I agree 100% - those are my favorite two "Chinese Cooking" Channels. There are others that are good, but these are the two best and most consistent in my opinion. I hope they are both successful and prosper, as I have learned quite a bit from them. SO much better than just reading a cookbook....

Yeh, I learned so much new stuff from just one video :S the little details like how the texture of lean meat changes vs fatty meat, why noodles should be coated with starches vs flours, etc. She is very knowledgeable and practical

Your recipes are so good! I love how vigorous they are, every detail is very well thought out. So many recipes out there do not stress the importance of using high gluten flour or high fat pork and I love that you explain why these matter. It makes a huge difference to the cooking experience!

You’re a natural born teacher. Your tutorial explanation is SUPERB and your video is a high quality production.

She is absolutely right, in spite of the fact that it is several ingredients and steps, it is so incredibly worth it. Even just the pork mixture like she said, is so amazingly delicious by itself. Whenever I have made this dish, I couldn’t stop eating the finished ground pork before finishing the rest of the dish! We are so lucky too in this day and age, that we can get all these ingredients pretty easily. It is so worth it, and you can totally buy the prepared noodles if that’s what’s scaring you off, because that cuts about 75% of the work. I’m so glad you finally posted this recipe girl! I can’t wait to make it again.

I wish I was able to find you when I was younger and healthy. At 73 and trying to recover from a stroke can only wish! You’re food looks so delicious!

I find all of your detailed commentary helpful - you really don't need to apologize to your audience for that. This recipe looks awesome!

Sorry the printable recipe was late, super busy lately. Here it is - soupeduprecipes.com/authentic-dan-dan-noodles-from-scratch/

This is the best chinese cooking channel on youtube, because you don't only give an authentic recipe, you actually tell us why we do what we do. Understanding the recipe is way different than just following it. I love this channel and Magic Ingredients' channel. Ever since I started cooking Chinese at home I stopped eating out. My favorite chinese cuisine is Sichuan ♥️

"The traditional bowl only holds 4 bites." Switches to a bowl five times larger. That's my girl!

Firstly, I'm only at :46 into your video and I can say I appreciate your honesty and thanks for not having a cheesy intro jingle like so many others. Secondly, there many foodies on KZread including myself who are here because we are up for the challenge and want to learn and we can get the ingredients, so no need to apologize - and thank you for sharing!

I love watching your videos. Your instructions are so clear and thorough! I had Dan Dan noodles when I visited NYC last year. This makes me want to attempt to make them!

*hands down* Agreed! She is one of the best instructors for Chinese cooking on KZread.

I really like the fact that you give so much information and so many tips while teaching me how to make such good food.

I love this dish and make it pretty often with some shortcuts and make-aheads so it's about 15 minutes start to finish when I need to feed my dan dan addiction. Store-bought noodles, packaged lean ground pork, a jar of the final sauce mix to taste (sesame + chili oil + sugar + sichuan peppercorn powder + vinegar, etc) in the fridge and a jar of chili oil on the shelf. A quick fry up, boil the noodles, cut some scallions, assembly and I'm good to eat . The sauce mix is so good that I will often use a little bit of it to punch up other things. Mix in with mayo for burgers and sandwiches, etc.

Thanks for the tip

Mandy has helped me up my cooking game so much. One thing I may suggest. The ingredients she shows are very important to the flavor, especially the wok. I've tried other brands and it's just not the same. Mandy is a great teacher. The food is so good, Oh my! I've been making homemade noodles since I was a kid when my grandmother taught me. Did you see Mandy fold that dough? I've never done that before and it makes so much sense. (My face is red) :)

Guess I will be purchasing attachments for my Kitchen Aide. Wonderful and easy explanation.

This recipe looks amazing!! Thank you Mandy!!

Thank you, Mandy, for this lesson on how to cook one of my favorite Chinese entrees. I could eat Dan Dan Noodles every week and not tire of it. Everything I have cooked from your videos has been most excellent. I take the leftovers to work for lunch, a day or two later, and my co-workers like to joke that I have taken a Chinese bride that no one knows about. 😀

Mandy, thank you so much for this recipe. It made all the difference for me. This is the single most helpful recipe I’ve followed to make decent homemade Chinese noodles. I finally decided to invest in a kitchenaid mixer after 30 years as a home cook, and this is the first recipe I used with the machine. Your instructions are flawless and precise; I would not have been successful without this video. I now have frozen noodles just waiting for my next bowl of soup or fried sauce toppings. You are the best!!

You are the absolute best!!! Love watching your channel

Greetings, Asian foodie friends. For those of you like me who are time-crunched and plan to purchase refrigerated, ready-to-use noodles for this dish (like those shown at 1:00), you can skip ahead in the video to 7:21. Happy New Year!

I love your videos. So detailed and effective. Thank you

I loved the way you explained everything. I used to see this dish and think I'm never gonna make it but you've converted me. Can't wait to try my hand at it!

I love you so much for posting this! I've been waiting for this! Will definitely be making this.

I've a stack of Chinese cookbooks but this is hands down the best recipe I've tried. Thank you.

You are the best in showing Chinese cooking, as you have considered other cultures making it. Thanks for sharing.

Yum that was really great! I tweaked the recipe. For the noodles I added 1 Tablespoon the lard fat from frying the pork as I usually put EVOO in my Italian pasta. The bread flour added chewiness to the noodles and the fat gave a silkiness. I did have the set bean paste, need to put that on the next Amazon list so I used honey for the minced pork. And we like our DanDan noodles to have more peanut/sesame sauce so I put like a 1/4 cup per dish or even more. I’m so happy there is enough noddles for tomorrow! Thanks for the recipe!

I really enjoyed your explanation of the pork and fat ratio and I can't wait to try this for myself. Thank you.

I USED YOUR RECIPE FOR PEPPER STEAK, AND IT WAS GREAT! I STILL USE THIS RECIPE REALLY OFTEN. THANK YOU! 😊❤️😁

No you definitely don’t talk a lot. I really appreciate the care that you take and your attention to detail :)

Wow, this looks super yummy that I would love to try it for sure. Thanks for sharing, miss! 😊

I've watched a bunch of different dan dan noodle videos, and this one is by far looks the best! I'm very excited to try making it! 🍜🧡

My Dear,.... YOU are an ARTIST!! I will likely not make this beautiful dish, but your talent is pure pleasure to watch....... well done!....You put “cooking” shows to shame....thank you.

LOVE the bowl you served the dan dan noodles in!!!!! This looks SOOO good!!!

I will definitely give this recipe a try! With some patience and time, you get something delicious, and it looks great for the winter time weather! Thank you as always, Mandy!

You’re truly amazing, girl!!! Thank you so much

Yum!! Thanks for the recipe and video. Looks great!

Love your videos, love the recipes and the in depth clear and precise directions. Also love the links provided for recipes and products. I love this channel and your personality! You are so deserving of a Food Network show ASAP.

Fantastic film. Thank you for your clear instructions. They way you break it down makes it easy to follow. Delicious!!!

Mandy, Another great recipe! Thanks

I finally got a chance to make this tonight! Absolutely amazing. I made Hon yo style chili oil from Chinese cooking demystified, but otherwise followed your instructions exactly. My only note is that I ended up using about 2/3 of the noodles for my 2 servings tonight, and with any less I think it would have been too much sauce. Soooooooooo delicious.

GREAT recipe! Made it today and everyone raved about it, Thank you,

One dish on my bucket list to try. Looks so appetizing!

Love your cooking skills and recipes 💕👍🏼

Thanks for sharing all the details. I am excited to try this.

This recipe was so delicious! Can’t wait to make it again!

I love these "from scratch" videos... Dan dan Noodles done. Thank you

Great video! I love recipes like this with thoughtful instructions and insights that are in depth. It gives respect and integrity to the dish and just food in general! There's too much "quick and easy" in our world today, in my opinion! Thank you for this video!
