My hometown’s XiAn as well and I wanted to thank you for introducing this on your platform! It looks delicious!
Three suggestions for anyone interested: (1) the dough we use isn’t usually sticky. If you’re resting it for 12 hours in oil then the hydration can be lower- you’ll get more consistent “pulls” this way. It’ll also help if you shape the noodle before you let it rest (2) traditionally you don’t need the sugar (3) oil should be pretty hot when you pour it, maybe around 200F (the chilis didn’t look like they were really sizzling in the video). Take out the peppercorns earlier as they’re more prone to burning and leaving the unpleasant flavor described. Enjoy!!
I would love to put some peanut powder with this noodle.
I like the easy to understand explanation of gluten and why the dough needs to rest . Thanks
I really hoped my presumptions about this video were going to be unfounded but no, they did mess it up in the most ignorant way possible.
Just watched this on PBS. Thank you! Love watching you two! 😊
It's amazing that more and more Western trained kitchens / chefs are able to do authentic Chinese food properly. Kudos!
Now let's learn how to write the character "biang"…
Made this dish today. Super satisfying and tasty!
What a great thing to make for New Year’s! I love watching you two cook together, makes me miss my sisters. 🥂🎉
Love how they get into what they do
Really nice they have fun doing it
Very enjoying to watch😋😊
Feel starving now!
Bang bang noodles
💜💜💛📹🤑🍹HI FAM🙏YUMMY, GOOD-NESS,DELICIOUS✌🙏😎💯🔥💜🔥💜
Italy has a tradition such as this with flat hand pulled noodles. 🙂
I just made the dough, and it was so super sticky there was no way I could do the final hand knead. My guess is 1 cup water is just too much. Any input?
Brilliant!
I've been to China many times but I still associate this dish with Xi'an Famous Foods in NYC! Love it!
Tried a version of this recipe today and it was awesome.
I would love to try these noodles from America's Test Kitchen, but can I skip that really hot oil sauce and you something else that isn't so spicy and numbing?
BIRDS EYE chillies
Why they don't use measured weight such as grams in recipes I don't know, surely they know how imprecise cups and spoons are, especially when you consider the global audience and the difference in measures for cups and spoons outside of the US.
I really wish ATK would use weight for measurements instead of volume.
You guys make it easy to follow this recipe. Gonna give it a try. Thank you.
Can you buy the noodles already made??
I think ill make these this weekend! I firmly believe that the oil needs to be ripping hot when you add it to the chilies/spices
I love Bridget and Julia. I've been watching them for years. The attracted me to ATK
On God they look like 2 Karens
I adore Shaanxi dishes
Rock star, best tutorial on this dish👏👏🤗🤗🙏🙏🇨🇦
Is it just me or is ATK the least entertaining cooking show on YouTube? Good info but god damn is the delivery boring!
yummy
that looks soooo good
我怀疑到底有多少美国人会主动回家尝试做手工面条。还是kfc更效率吧
We're expats living in shenzhen and just tried biang biang noodles for the first time at a local shop and its our favorite! Made a video if you want to see what its like 🙂
Mad props on your pinyin pronunciation!!
Oh so now they're doing asmr… What will they think of next 😂
Am I the only one that started laughing when they started slapping the noodles on the table?
Good job ladies! not too shabby! I laughed so hard when I heard "Again again" 😂😂😂 was that an Elmo reference? lol
Those noodles look great. I can't eat gluten. Do you think they would work with a GF recipe? Thanks.
I noticed that the Chefs that normally make this usually fold the noodles in half and continue to pull; they do this a couple of times to get the spaghetti type noodles.
Are they the same noodles in chow fun?
Black vinegar is super cheap at the Asian market. They also sell fresh Shan Xi noodles ready to drop in boiling water.
We didn't see Julia and Bridget slurping the noodles.
Is she rubbing oil into a marble counter? I always was told to keep oils and acids off my marble slab.
Guys… For dough… Place the WATER in the mixer bowl FIRST… You won't have to stop and scrape the bowl down. You're welcome.
Cool.
