Ming Tsai makes a visit to Boston's Chinatown where he learns how to make la mien. Catch Simply Ming on your local public television station or at ming.com/simplyming.and as always, peace and good eating!
I always say that the cooking shows on PBS have the best teachers. The chefs on the cooking shows teach you so many things, and give you ideas on what to make, and how to make things go a little faster in the kitchen. Whereas the chefs on Food Network are there to entertain. They’re in it for the money and fame
@Severian Wintermute It's funny that you don't know that some places can still be a lot better than others and therefore become famous within a town lol Theres a difference between people who just do a reguar la mian soup on the street and so called noudle masters who can do them as tinny that it's not even possible anymore to cook them in soups but have to be fried cause they would otherwise fall apart. So yeah I sure bet people like that get some more recognizion than others...
"Ming" forgot to mention what was in that little plastic container with water---it's called BORAX---something that is TOXIC in large enough amounts---mmmmm-delicious...
its not BAD but its not very good either, and the hand thing, oh god made me cringe. i very much doubt it was for comedic purposes. and he went on about the numbers of the noodles at the wrong moment; it was still just 1 piece of dough at that time :S
