Lan is so fantastic. She’s an incredible chef and her voice is so soothing too.

Lan is a great cook and presenter with a subtle sense of humor. Bridget is also so the combination of those two is fun and informative.

I find Bridgets continuous interruptions extremely annoying. Let Lan Lam do her thing.
Lan Lam's recipes and techniques make me want to run right into my kitchen and start trying them.
Lan is always an instaclick! She's the empress of the best ATK recipes, and she's looking so majestic with those silver hairs coming in! Bow to the queen 😭

Its so nice when she teaches Asian dishes. It gives an air of authority. As opposed to another cook who has to research the dish and probably never had it in her life before.

Lan is such a G. She just drops ‘people sleep on the bok Chou’ like nothing. I love this channel. My steaks are on point because of it.
I love it when Lan is cooking. She’s so good, calming and gorgeous. The dish is gorgeous too. I could devour all that myself. Thank you ATK.

It's Lan, so I will watch.
I have made this at home several times before watching this video. It is so good and ATK really does a great job. The ONLY thing I do different is to go through a much more elaborate and classic preparation for the chinese chili oil. But, that being said, I was afraid they would not put in the fermented/dried mustard greens in the pork topping, AND THEY DID IT. It really is essential and there really is no substitute. Despite living in a highly Asian subdivision of Seattle...those mustard greens sometimes are unavailble in the Chinese supermarket. Order them online! No substitute for the black vinegar or the toasted sesame seed paste either. "Shoaxing Wine"...dry sherry does just fine, but it tends to be a bit more expensive.
Love the chemistry between these two! Fun video thanks!
I was on the recipe testing for this dish!!!! I make this all the time with veggie sausage for the meat
Lan is outstanding and the recipe looks absolutely delicious
Dan Dan actually means “carrying pole”, it is called Biandan in Mandarin, but People in Sichuan call it Dandan. Dandan mian used to be a street food in Sichuan province. Sellers carried the noodle with a carrying pole and sold it on streets. That is how it got such a name, carrying pole noodle. BTW, Mian means flour, Miantiao means noodle, but people just call noodle Mian for short. Dandan Mian is a Sichuan local food, you can hardly find it outside Sichuan province.

I think it's really common in Shenzhen, which had a ton of (forced) immigration from Sichuan? And I've been told Sichuan cuisine in general is "trendy" in China, not just in the west

@@tommihommi1 Shenzhen is the silicon valley of China, so it is also a city of immigration. People go there for money, you don't have to force people to go somewhere that has many opportunities of earning money. I guess Shenzhen has a lot of people from Sichuan so perhaps Dandan mian is also popular there. BTW, BYD, DJI, Huawei, Xiaomi, Tencent, these big names' headquarters are all in Shenzhen.

Lan Lam is a treasure! I hope we see many more videos from them.
Absolutely amazing personality and voice Lan Oi Dep wah !
This really captures the experience of Chinese cooking of needing a million different sauces even for simple dishes like Dan Dan Mien
Sichuan (aka "Szechuan") is one of the most complex & sophisticated cuisines I've encountered. On par with Thai food for heavenliness.
The chef is just wow. Once in a while you come across a master and Lan is one
Beautiful dish, I'll pickup the sweet wheat and sesame paste and I can't wait to make it. I like everyone at ATK although Lan and Bridget are my favorites, I wish we'd see more of them. They have great chemistry on camera and I appreciate their wonderful energy and sense of humor.

This is so authentic of Sichuan that an ethnic Chinese myself, I sometimes have a hard time sourcing and therefore forego the pickled mustard greens, but this dish is so packed w/ flavours and textures that it is still incredibly delicious w/out the pickled mustard greens anyway.
I have never heard of this dish, but it looks amazing. Plus, I adore Lan!
Yum...so many seasonings I have yet to try. Thanks for the education

Incredible. I'm going to try this.
I really love the black vinegar!

In a past life I traveled occasionally to Chengdu and this was the one local dish that I specifically sought out each trip - very yummy!

Lan's been with ATK's Cook's Illustrated for more than a decade and is currently a Senior Editor. That's her day job, but you can see her toiling away in the background of both ATK and Cook’s Country TV shows for a number of seasons. In 2017, she joined the cast of Cook's Country and moved to the ATK TV show in 2018, so she's been a part of the cast for several years. You can still see her occasionally in the ATK back kitchen when she's not presenting a recipe - that's where all the real cooking for the show takes place.

Great. Now I'm hungry.... :)

I was afraid this was going to be an Americanized version of this until Lan added the pickled mustard greens... They are tricky to find... if you have a chinese grocery store (looking at you 99 ranch market) you can find them there.

Even w/out the pickled mustard greens, this dish is so full of flavours and tasty. This dish is also a popular and quintessential “Chinese Cuisine” dish in all of Japan - I believe the Japanese add hot broth to it; in the cold Japanese winter, this noodle dish in hot soupy broth is so comforting and fantastic!

Obsessed with dandan atm
WoW !!!
This looks so good. I don’t know if I can find the fermented vegetable that mixed in the meat. I will try this dish without the fermented veggies if I can’t find it.
My tongue is definitely vibrating
I made it a minute in and stopped, I couldn't break the feeling I was watching rescue 911 and it was the 90's again.
Tongues vibrating a little bit lol! I always love the taste of Sichuan pepper!
It's funny how everyone makes them a little different. I usually stick to Fuchsia Dunlops version but will try this one the next time. If I ever had to pick a last meal it would definitely by Dan Dan noodles.
OMGOSH YUM ❤
I gotta get that fermented wheat paste. You had me at umami bomb.
BOOM! 😍
I've never eaten this dish, but I've heard it raved about on the Try Guys YT Channel (Keith in particular loves it). It looks amazing! I've never heard of most of those ingredients so I'd have to do a lot of work tracking them down before I could even try to make this! But it looks awfully good. Thanks!

Dandanmian is my absolute favorite dish, I even make a big batch of chili oil...but the sui mi ya cai I can't find anywhere in Rome! The owner of my favorite shop gave me a sub which is made from the stem of the mustard. They sell in tiny little packets used for snacking and they're so good too!
I feel like Dan should of been the co-host on this one just to be festive 🎉
I Lan-ed a lot! Excellent recipe.
The "Sichuan chile powder" is - if you look - Sichuan chile FLAKES - so that's what to pick up from store if you don't have it...Asian cooking websites say they're distinctive (vs Italian red pepper flakes), hence a distinctive part of the Sichuan 'flavor profile'. Upshot - get 'em
Where do you buy thr noodles and what brand, name?
Can't find all the ingredients. But looks delicious 😋
I don't know what funky is supposed to mean, but dang I need it.
I'm assuming "sweet wheat paste" means "Tian mian jiang". I've never seen it labelled as the former before.
Cooking with out heat/fore?
Very nice and a dish I’d love to sample. But I cannot go buy all these ingredients from a who-knows-where source and use them once or twice, thereafter to rot in my fridge. Would love to find this in a restaurant. Story of my cooking life😖
Bridget is stunning
This looks great but seems to require a lot of things I don’t have in my pantry.
