Wow
I'm really impressed with myself
Hi guys,
Welcome back, on today's menu we'll be doing
(biang biang) pulled noodles!
and fluffy under pits
that's not part of the menu
yup, you're right to be slightly
concerned
it is, at first look, quite a complex and physically demanding recipe
but I did find an easy recipe online
according to that easy recipe all you
need is flour water salt and
a lot of patience
I'm excited I hope you're excited
I want to pull some noodles
I mean these baby have to be useful for
something
oh I think it's the other way
okay
now, for the base all you need is flour, water, and salt in
a certain
proportion
[happy jazz music]
Let it rest for 45 minutes
while this baby relaxes we're going to start chopping
all the things we need for the seasoning
bok choy
my favorite kisser accessory
the garlic
wow, this is a huge garlic
it looks, it looks good and
by good I mean it looks like on the internet
because this is the first time I'm doing this
so it looks good and now they say
you have to continue massaging the dough for a good 3 to 5 minutes to make sure
that all the bubbles come out
I mean that this arm is good to do some
exercise
we have a nice though now
the next step will be to separate it in multiple
little balls that we will then flatten it up
and let to meditate again for
another hour
oh boy, this is sticky
the more you manipulated the less sticky it becomes
Look at these pretty babies
it's time to flatten and roll the balls
but because I don't have a roller we're gonna use a
Vodka bottle! Which I have cleaned
very nice a local product
if ever you're wondering how Quebec
vodka tastes like
yep
allright
so we have six big noodles
one two three four five six of different
size
what we want to do now is to let them rest for another hour
over here, I need a cover fit this one
there you go
it's stuck
Oh no!
minimal damage
this one is perfect though look at the
difference
perfect
slightly damaged
now the fun begins
it is the pooling part
I need a chopstick first
put (the dough) it on the table then
you press the chopstick in the middle
that will be the line along
which you're gonna pull the noodles in two
to make it longer
pull it gently and
flap it up a little bit as you pull
now what you want to do is put the fingers along the line you did with
chopstick and then
separate it
hopefully it should come out easily and then I
open it
noodle number three
I kind of ruined it
now they're all stuck together
this is a bit of a disaster
oh boy
now they're all smashed together
should have
started cooking them as soon as I pulled them out
assembly line time!
it is the time of truth
wah
this was actually very labor-intensive
I started around 1p.m. and now it's almost 6:00
okay good consistency
Oh, it smells delicious
love me a good garlic
I should have added a bit of ginger
now that I think about it
mmm
I'm actually surprised at how tasty this is
given how it looks
Wow the noodles are chewy
mmm
this is it for today let me know what you thought of today's recipe
how differently would you have done it
I would love to know your input
thanks so much
for watching and on this I'll see you next time
I'm trying to hide the things that
are stuck in my teeth
all right so thank you
seriously this is
so tasty I'm literally making an entire bucket
