佩服的功夫

[ultimategamer300]

just wow that is really cool

[TheUltimateRF]

Koreans and japanese find it polite to slurp... But im chinese and I love slurping lol :D

[999hellokittylover]

Pulling noodles is a little tiring but amazingly fun! I tried it and it was so much fun and when u eat the noodles it is WAY much better than what u buy at a store. It is smooth and easy to chew. GREAT JOB!

[Rockstar110Percent]

Picking up your plate to eat with chopsticks not ok for all asian cultures. E.g. Korean table manners, not ok to pick up your plate or bowl while eating with chopsticks, use a spoon

[hotelpan]

A bowl of that noodles with spicy beef soup only costs 80 cents-1.3 dollar in Chinese major cities.

[SKTPSY]

wow!

[iamthedaz]

im pretty sure that MUST be pixie dust xD

[arna11420]

Do these noodles feel smooth to the tongue? I think I ate them once in a Chinese restaurant as a part of a soup dish.

[Cricks1474]

He covers the dough in flour so that it loses its stick. Then, through a series of twists and folds he separates the dough into individual strands. Very clever.

[zv051982]

Quiero la receta jejeje. que tecnica, sin duda alguna la comida asiatica es una de las mejores..

[yasarcakir87]

Adamlar aşmış amk :D

[christoabbe]

Chinese people are amazing. I SMOKE SO MUCH WEED AFTER CLASS AND EAT CHINESE FOODD.

[guguigugu]

@christoabbe best comment ever! we should hang out!!

[martineluv1]

I open the pack of spagatti and cook it, and eat so fast but never thinked about how much hard work it is , too make one.

[therealkakkamakkara]

It's not the twist that doubles the noodles, it's the folding in half. If you're gonna comment and mention the obvious, then do it right!

[MsSmoopy]

I want to marry that man

[ConcertMusik]

[pommeying]

[TrishMiGab]

[Stormy4ya]

I wanna cry when i see that. Must be impossible pleasure to eat that afterwards! Wish i could do that

[TheWinnie2010]

luv u clearlly tell uz wat he is doin in da title

duhhh

[tommynice]

very good chef, well done

[shinyfirenight]

They add weed to the flour. I love this kind of noodles, it's soft but very chewy, and you can ask the chef to make you a bowl with noodles that even thinner than the angel air. Any thickness you like. They also have a Technic that could peel the flour into pieces... the most important thing, it taste really good! trust me, even better than udon which is my Favorite here... It's the real lamein which exactly as it's name: pulling noodles!!

PS, I love the comments here LOL

[jan8919]

This take years to learn to make noodle by hand !

[AndreaInternauta]

just like pucca!

[SuperstarRichardG]

I swear, Asians are aliens

[animaniacsify]

chinese dun slurp, its rude. only japanese ramen promotes slurping

[LittoBUbbo]

@animaniacsify chinese do slurp... maybe it depends which region you come from but slurping demonstrates to the chef that you enjoy the food they created. 

[MickLawification]

@LittoBUbbo Thats in Japan, its to show that they enjoy the food. Chinese dont slurp, i should know since im chinese

[LittoBUbbo]

@MickLawification Well I am Chinese as well. And I know hundreds of Chinese that live here do it as well. I live in SF, which means a shit load of immigrants from different regions, which may mean as a collective it is accepted to slurp. And it sure wasn't the fact that they moved to America that made them develop "rude" manners since in US it is considered rude.

[AndyRoddick969]

i think he opened up this chop sticks the wrong way . . .

[WisdomVendor]

nothing is quite as amazing as watching a true expert working in their trade.

[bjpakosta]

He uses weed flour like me. But when I want to do some noodles, I remember:

"Shit, I smoked the weed. Now I just have the flour..."

[AUAirForce]

Lol ;P

[Btomme]

I'm from germany, so i cant understand every word exactly. Which flour does he use?

[bjpakosta]

@Btomme he uses weed flour =) 3:31

[radicalanddangerous]

@Btomme Wheat Flour

[Sparkblue19]

@Btomme it's wheat flour

[MW2INCALI]

i typed in shit in chinese noodles and got this.. wow youtube?

[andelicekandy]

typical noodles from chinese lanzhou....and?

[QwertnotQuark]

@MrNaryal  What?

[mowafq]

حركة حلوة

[sweeper1977]

Believe it or not, this is actually not a very difficult technique. A lot of Chinese cooks can do that and you don't need to be a master.

[chokkesan]

what a video, now i feel hungry, super man

[dotaARHAN]

hes a black belt in making noodles...

[Sowyet]

respect for him

[jimmygster]

That was terrific! Thanks for the great post.

[waddles0606]

that dude pretends like he is such an expert on chinese culture... -.- not the chef, that was awesome :) the annoying commentary dude. -.-

[pepgi79]

nn ci sono più i cinesi di una volta...

[redbullz00]

this american is weird

[StephProductions1]

thats so awesome. i wanna learn how to do that.

[enfulninja]

"Operator."

"I need to learn to make noodles. Lot's of noodles."

[tube02148]

this process has been done in china for almost 5,000yrs, it's too bad opening up to american audience now. oh yeah..try explaining all the science you can.. and then go buy yourself a fancy expensive italian pasta machine. someday there will be a white guy doing this, just like there's a white guy in shaolin.

[retrotw]

u can do them with other flour...he is good but...far from great compared to actual chefs in china...hong kong...taiwan...etc....and i hate them to be called pasta chef...there are no pasta dishes in chinese cuisine...should just be called in their own language...

[kassiestiek]

@retrotw Fuck face it´s called pasta chef, actually pasta was founded in China to begin with!!!

[x0955863233]

@retrotw what ever dude, i live in taiwan and im just glad that white people can actually appreciate la mian

[retrotw]

@x0955863233 yea you're right...im actually from Taiwan...

[bigcrowfly]

How many: OODLES

[wisesatyr72]

I can eat noodles everyday..

[wantanmien]

Thank you Mr. Chow for a nice video ! 非常多謝給大家分享 wantanmien

[Cetramarius]

I WANT THE RECIPE FOR THE DOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[zackstorm54]

AAAAwwwwEEEeeeSSSOOOOMMMEEE



[s123a]

Actualy i think 1. think he dose he is not making noodls yet. He is more thn not alining donuth to make more longitudinal conection betwen proteins.

So he starts dubling them only when he adds flour. so siple math would be 2^x in and you have noodls at end.

[OsmoseXIII]

i tried this and got it kindof right. after 30 tries lol

[Detano2]

I tried doing it, i whiped my little bro in the face

[TwilightXoXnighT]

@Detano2 LMAO Aww :L

[Nat4Brendan]

Holy crap! I still don't understand how the hell that works! That guy's got awesome skill.

[goreth01]

@Nat4Brendan: Actually it's pretty obvious how it works. He's just pulling the dough longer and folding it, dividing it into ever finer strings. (Using flour so it doesn't stick together again)

Doing it is an entirely different matter of course. I doubt I could do it without the stuff sticking together again, or ripping it apart. And even if I did manage, I'd probably need 20 times as long.

This guy is really awesome. Stylish asian cooks for teh win!

[XxAngelShinn]

what the hell!!!! how does the dough magically split up!!!!

[MsLila7]

i think people who knows how to do this is so talented...^_^

[daisieful]

lol, you gotta love alton brown, his comments may be over doing it, but it is pretty funny.

[mdrayan1]

On 0:34 it looks like testicles..

[pete6851]

ancient art

[L33tGabrielK]

this guy would own with nun chuks



[jayjangles]

shutup commentator ya poof

[SourBugg]

Stop talking, its annoying we know what he's doing.. we just want to watch the "making" of the noodles.

[SaisenseiHQ]

the chinese chef should hit the commentator with the dough like a whip

[Gotixos]

OMNOMNOMONMOMNOMNONMONM KURWA JAKIE DOBRE .

[dogstyle2222]

This ain't nothin special in china you can see people doing this in relativly normal resturants. Some places let you watch I used to love it as a kid

[juljulkuk]

did He say "don't try this at home" or "do try this at home"

?

[lvzhendong]

U call that master? I can get this kinda ramen all over the streets in china, this is probably one the most common ways of make noodles in china, the real master I've seen can make the noodles so thin that can go thru a needle eye

[sbeer6er]

bounce, twist, bounce, bounce, twist, I THINK I GOT IT!

[PigsCanFly99]

I'm not convinced slurping is an integral part of it. Also total bs re: creating noodles with each twist. Removes end as it's excessive. Skilled chef knows how much to handle at one go. Interesting bit of noodle trivia re: symbol of longevity re: no cutty with knife.

[stoopid231]

pretty amazing i would like to have this skill for sure, impressive

[gtrefghuk]

That's cool.

[terminator6267]

wow....that is very hynotic...i almost got dizzy watchin this...this is awesome

[akim211]

... they do this in every chinese noodle shop.

[iMpRiSoNeD44]

did i hear he said weed or wheat flour?

[trclocke]

wheat

[TheVittleVlog]

Damn nice!

[RainfallMint]

Amazing! I thought it was going to be ramen in a broth. I recommend watching Ramen Girl. It's a really good Japanese movie.

[beliefxinflyingpigs]

i think you're a little confused--he means that the strands of the noodles were formed by the twisting. the folding just increases the number of noodles.

[1unisol1]

its 512 nudles..

[2070martin]

este chef es genial hay que hacer esos fideos a mano...martin kpo

[vinceyfas08]

Fecking amazing stuff.

[ComoWays257]

STUMBLED!  MD

[UriaHeep08]

ALTON BROWN IS THE SHIT!!!!!!!!!

[YouToobWatcher3]

This narrator is so full of shit it's coming out his mouth. The noodles are made by the folding over and not by the twisting.

[sawyerleemoore]

What happens to the excess dough? Awesome vid though.

[JubeiX90]

I'd fuckin' eat that shit raw. It look so tasty.

[nameUnavailab1e]

They probably re-use it, or maybe throw it away since flour is relatively cheap.

[RumOom]

mmmmaaaagic.

[lineupyoucunt]

[Moolahg]

i don't even understand how that happens...it's freakin awesome though :D

[romerosierrac]

i never thought making noodles could be this cool

[smittybuffmoma]

im pretty sure that actually WAS pixie dust

[RiceEater07]

looks like a dough yoyo

[QwertnotQuark]

This guy needs to shut up and let the man's skill speak for itself, and what the Heck does he mean "don't try this at home." I would defiantly try this at home it's just noodles.

[graknor]

@QwertnotQuark you're right, he does need to shut up

[maniacboyz7]

@QwertnotQuark it's what Alton Brown does...talk. never watch the food network? 

[asihall]

@QwertnotQuark Alton Brown is a true culinary master. He can say what he wants. He's a food-comedian ! And, because of that, when he said "Don't try this at home" he was clearly saying a joke. You're just too thick to get it.

[Cormega006]

@QwertnotQuark lol I hate that guy hes such a fag.

[ajaarg]

@QwertnotQuark Alton brown is popular because he is what nerds think is cool. I don't blame Food Network, really, they're just out to make a buck. I do blame the idiots who watch food network. By the way, a recent study showed that Americans spend more time watching cooking shows than they do cooking.

Which again, explains Alton Brown's nerdy popularity perfectly.

[liquidfreedom88]

*droooollll* im gonna excavate my instant ramen now

[gothbaby6]

XD at Alton Brown's commentary.... Yip's the man lol.

[jupiter784]

WHAAAAAAAAAT!!!

[joelruns]

If you want to learn how to do this, go watch the video on my channel. There is no secret asian recipe or machinery needed. Its just kneeding technique. Here: watch?v=OZA1oPcKoJw

[FrACt05]

I've seen this live on my trip to Beijing and I have to admit, handmade noodles taste great!

[heywhatsup47]

but those noodles look good!

[heywhatsup47]

the narrorator is so annoying

[gevron]

u know this is so common in china....cus machines are far more expensive than hiring a guy to do all this shit

[azianwacko]

they have machines now...its a hassle and a tradition that hasnt really been passed down as much as it was back then. Too bad...its truly an art.

[hao84304945]

@azianwacko bullshit u can find chinese noodle restrauants everywhere in china....all the noodle chef scan do that....

[cooljammer22]

wow that is soooooooooooooooooo awsome

[Bloodlesson]

2000 YEARS of NODDLE HISTORY !

[cal124]

that is some skill he has

[synergyGK21]

utmost respect. so much finesse goes into this. can't really appreciate an art form like this unless you go to culinary school haha JWU REPRESENT!

[mifysk]

interesting

[taybae78]

lol i like how they treat it like a "behind the magic" thing. whether or not i get how he does it, theres no way in hell i could ever do this myself. its pretty awesome

[jj34dr4]

Cool Video

[animedbzgurl]

I was like "OH my god, how does he do it...HOW DOES HE DO IT?!" lol. I was amazeeed.

[roygbiv330]

awesome. professional

[WatchThatOrangeRoll]

this made me cry its so beautiful

[QuietCannon]

Lol! I laughed, but you're right. This is serious talent. :) It's amazing what people can do!!!

[ppshchik]

Chinese cuisines (real ones) are 10x harder to cook than Western ones.

What that guy did might seem like magic to westerners, but it's a pretty common trick in Chinese noodle restaurants.

[chefskinnyandmini]

That is awesome!

[quicklogon]

That is FUCKIN BEAUTIFUL!

[alexiox55]

ddaammmn

[adlsp]

If you double the long dough, starting with two fat strands, by the...

5th doubling you get 16 strands

8th doubling you get 128 strands

12th doubling you get 2,048 strands

15th doubling you get 16,384 strands

20th doubling you get 524,288 strands

...and by the 23rd, you have over 4 million strands..

The same principle is used to make samurai swords. The steel is bent, and re-bent numerous times as it is forged in hot fire, to create a blade with tremendous strength and flexibility.
