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
I want to cry that is such a beautiful meal. He was just playing with dough it seemed, and about 2:15 noodles appeared!!! Amazing.
Hi, Ming. you are so great! I love the way how you talk about cooking.
We always love ur cooking. Stay blessed always.
It is amazing how they could do that.. Such a skill..
love ur channel...love chinese food and the culture...wonderful!!
Ming is the MAN
Hi Ming it looks delicious god bless
lol he used the hand he used to hold the noodle to shake the chef's hand
TV needs more Ming and less of these reality show winning 'celebrities'. Some of the cooking shows out there right now are downright laughable.

wicked
Is there a difference between kneading the dough by hand and by machine?
Do you know what the the name of the noodle restaurant is?
For those non-believers---simply ming Google "borax chinese noodles"...
Without the "BORAX" powder after the dough has rested it can NOT stretch....
I consume top ramen:(
lol, oh well
@MrBEIJINGJACK So is nutmeg pal, calm yourself down and throw back a cup or so. Maybe it will mellow you out.
Eat up,we have plenty of BORAX in the storage room....

Labor of love? This dude looks like he substituted the water of the recipe with his warm tears.
wha? try about $1.50 where I lived (beef, not prawns)
I think it's funny how this guy is "famous" for doing something you can see on nearly every street in China.
its la mien

his chinese isnt THAT bad, and the hand thing might have been done on purpose/comedy?
lol his chinese is horrible and he had to use his hands with the chopsticks. oh mannn..
