Love this dish but Korean style. We do put potatoes and zucchini, onions along with the meat. We use the fresh cucumbef and also yellow pickle radish and raw onion as a side with black bean paste to dip the radish and onion. Koreans love this dish but its origins is Chinese. Love your show Mike.
The picture you painted for us of what you look like during a thunderstorm at home (hahahahahaha)! Thank you for sharing the recipe. I've always wanted to try this dish.
great recipe Mike! my wife and I made this today, with the exception of the nummy peppercorn couldn't find at 2 chinese stores we dropped by at. Tho we tried the sauce without the version 2.0 of hot oil..and the taste seemed kinda subtle..so we both added some hot oil 2.0 to our individual servings and that enhanced the flavor profile. We made our batch of your hot oil without the nummy peppercorn as well. The end result dish was good with the hot oil 2.0 we were so stuffed the potatoes were a good addition. I'm glad the noodles aren't a specific type means it is possible to add variety to the dish by just changing the noodle itself. We're not as fond of rice noodles so we went with a semi wide shanghai noodle. Awesome recipie!!
Watching you stuff food into your mouth like that reminds me of the way I eat... I just love food! Some people savour the food they love, but when I think something tastes great, I can't shovel it down my throat fast enough. Lol And I get just as enthusiastic as you. I swear, every bite I'm going, "Mmmm!" and I don't even know I'm doing it. You make me REALLY want to eat these noodles. Plus, I love the Korean version. I've never had the "just some sauce with noodles" thing you're talking about because I only go to authentic K-joints, and MAN do they put just as much deliciousness into their dish as you do! But I know the Chinese flavours are a bit different and I'm excited to try them, too!
somehow it makes me a bit sad that i'm sitting here in germany, watching all this stuff and wondering how awesome it would be to go on some food-adventure with you xD
I’ve made so many of your dishes vegetarian-style using king oyster and shiitake mushrooms instead of meat (personal preference not to eat meat...) and it all turned out great! Going to have to try this one as well. So far, the mapo tofu was my fave.
Hey Mike, hello from Germany. I'm watching your channel since a few years now and I love the dishes you introduce. Keep up the great work and stay as you are! I'm always sharing your videos with my friends who want to cook something asian.
I think the sauce is called Doubanjiang instead of Doubianjiang. So if u guys are going to look for it in the Asian grocery place, make sure to say it right so they know what u are looking for.
Found your channels last month. I love love Asian food. You give better ideas for dishes than what I can find on Google. I much rather cook at home. All the Asain restaurants around here are very Americanized. I didn't grow up here, so moving here has been painful to the palette.
Strictly Dumpling Already did and tweeted you the pictures! I didn't use as much bean sauce though so it's not as dark as the sauce you made! I'll be honest, yours looks a lot better than my modified version...
really like the addition of potato idea. will make it much more filling (especially if using instant noodles) and tasty. such a simple, good dish. thanks for sharing
This is so good it’s ridiculous. My wife does most of the cooking but since discovering your channel I’ve taken over a lot of dinners; this stuff is too great, I want it all the time!!! I tried it without your hot chili oil (version 1), and with hot chili oil. It was great without it, and I ate a lot. Then I made it again and added hot chili oil and oh my gosh, it went to another dimension of deliciousness.
I remember a Korean restaurant near here served potatoes in the sauce, then the new owner changed (or should I say ruined) it and took out the potatoes!!! (Probably to save money) I was so mad. Mike you're a madman 9:06 I wonder who were the 108 clearly insane people who didn't like this video. I absolutely love it. Thanks
i cooked it with chinese soybean paste and chinese plum sauce as my local asian super market didnt have the sweet flour sauce and it turned out really yummy ^o^
Wow! That's the original Chinese fried sauce noodles. I thought it was complicated to look for ingredients and to cook. But it's simple, just like me. 🇵🇭😊❤
+hmrhuang I know you mean the flat ho fun rice noodles. But i'm just saying that although i don't like udon... with this sauce i'll even eat it with udon.
"Snots coming out of my nose" lmao😂. I love thunderstorms and rain too. I can completely relate but I need to have the window open so I can hear the howling wind or sit on a covered balcony.
I've just discovered, and subscribed to your channel. I love your passion for food. While these are older videos, I'm enjoying watching. They're very informative. Thank you.
I hope you get this comment . I too love the rain . Here in San Diego it doesn't rain !!! I am from the east coast and I am not used to this . I miss the rain so much . But , back to you : One of the many reasons you love the rain & thunderstorms is --there are negative ions in the air and those ions make some people feel really good and I mean really , really good . The rain & the thunder casts a special mood on life . It almost makes you want to push a button on life and make time stand still so you can get your fill of the strange ambience that rain & thunder produce . And one other thing : It is absolutely necessary that your apartment or house is clean on such days .
This channel is so amazing, i have cooking books where you need like 1000 ingedients for each dish, but these videos show so simple yet delicious plates. Hot oil is amazing. Damn. I am hungry. again.
Dude I love the little bits of historical info you drop in your vids I think I am following all of your channels you most be one of the hardest working people on social media and your recipes are awesome I am still collecting my ingredients but I will have a fully stocked kitchen soon ☺
I really love your channel Mike and can see why you are so popular! You are truly an excellent cook and host! You even inspired me to order hot oil from Amazon and I can't wait to use it (I also need to find your hot oil recipe and try that too)!!! You make the best recommendations for the best products! I LOVE to cook and make a lot of Asian and Mediterranean food, so your channel is right up my alley for sure. I love healthy eating. This recipe looks just fantastic and I have everything in the house except for the Chinese Sweet Flour Sauce, so I need to get some at our local Chinese market. YUMMY.....can't wait to make this!! Thank you so much! ~Jackie
When I visited my dad in China, we ate a lot of different things. We stopped by a street vendor and they served a rice pancake with a super spicy omelet, delicious! We also ate a lot of fried lotus root, tastes the same as a potato.
got around to making this at last! when I tasted the sauce alone I thought, holy crap it's salty! then mixed it in with noodles and still thought it was too salty. and then after adding cucumbers...IT'S SO GOOD!!!!!!!!! was eating this while watching your shabu shabu video, so double the enjoyment :) Thanks Mike!
I don't think the sauce is meant to be watery though. I ended up with a rather thick paste that kept for about a week in the fridge. Just cook and drain some noodles, microwave a spoon of sauce, chop up more cucumbers, and mix. Maybe try another high water content but bland crunchy element, like celery, cauliflower, or even asian pear?
I totally share your liking of settling indoors during inclement weather outside and cooking some comfort food. It is Gemütlichkeit (coziness, in German).
Just found your channel. I do love your take on this dish. I've made the Korean version, but I'm definitely trying yours. It looks fantastic! I love your energy, humor and very likable personality.

I have been watching your videos for about an hour now, and I cannot explain how hungry I am.
I love mike, he always has so much personality in his videos.
I'm addicted to Strictly Dumpling!
Lol! Your excitement when adding your hot oil 😄🙌.. You're adorable Mr Chen and ya videos are always so entertaining and informative. xx
Oh yea! Love the sound of thunderstorm, makes you feel so safe and warm inside the house! And the sauce looks good!

I love how when you say E words it sounds like Ye, I just makes me smile.
When he said there's something missing I immediately thought of hot oil...lol
i totally feel your excitement and love for food.
I remember a Korean restaurant near here served potatoes in the sauce, then the new owner changed (or should I say ruined) it and took out the potatoes!!! (Probably to save money) I was so mad.
Mike you're a madman 9:06 I wonder who were the 108 clearly insane people who didn't like this video. I absolutely love it. Thanks
The potatoes is actually a good idea. The starch in it will help thicken the sauce.
Your channel always makes me so hungry. I love how much you enjoy the food you are eating.
I could just watch you eat all day! you enjoy it so much
this guys enthusiasm for the food is infectious
Me too! I love the rain and noodles.
rain lovers here ☔
Mike loves the same things I do: spicy food, meat, and rain
me too :)
Mallika Banerjee Chili oil gives you the sun from inside!
Thanks Mike for all your food videos they are fun to watch.
You are making my college life much better... Love from Korea
Storms with noodle soup and a movie= my happiness
i cooked it with chinese soybean paste and chinese plum sauce as my local asian super market didnt have the sweet flour sauce and it turned out really yummy ^o^
I just love how happy he gets from good homemade food love this chanel!!!!!!
Wow! That's the original Chinese fried sauce noodles. I thought it was complicated to look for ingredients and to cook. But it's simple, just like me. 🇵🇭😊❤
You should try it with broad/thick rice noodles! HEAVEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+hmrhuang I agree, this is one of the rare times i like udon noodles.
No, not udon, but the think rice noodles (i.e., the kind they use for Vietnamese Pho).
+hmrhuang I know you mean the flat ho fun rice noodles. But i'm just saying that although i don't like udon... with this sauce i'll even eat it with udon.
Ah...
+hmrhuang just tried it with rice noodles and it was amaaaaazing
I like how every dish he talks about is his favorite dish.
If you love thunderstorms, move to Florida. It storms here nearly every day. Made this tonight for dinner...so delicious!
"Snots coming out of my nose" lmao😂. I love thunderstorms and rain too. I can completely relate but I need to have the window open so I can hear the howling wind or sit on a covered balcony.

Ken Dai be there soon
That sauce looks absolutely incredible, especially after adding the hot chili oil!
Ok I learned my lesson: NEVER watch a video of Mike if you're hungry ! Loved the video Mike, keep going with those amazing recepies .
Tiktok960 Thanks :-)
There is nothing better than super saucy noodles...
Thank you for the recipe... will try this.
I know what I'm making for dinner. Thank you for sharing this delicious video. Blessings ChefMike
Dude love your cooking vibe
got around to making this at last! when I tasted the sauce alone I thought, holy crap it's salty! then mixed it in with noodles and still thought it was too salty. and then after adding cucumbers...IT'S SO GOOD!!!!!!!!! was eating this while watching your shabu shabu video, so double the enjoyment :) Thanks Mike!
It is very salty. I had no cucumber :( I will add more water next time? Tone down the salty. Otherwise it was amazing!
I don't think the sauce is meant to be watery though. I ended up with a rather thick paste that kept for about a week in the fridge. Just cook and drain some noodles, microwave a spoon of sauce, chop up more cucumbers, and mix. Maybe try another high water content but bland crunchy element, like celery, cauliflower, or even asian pear?
Love stormy weather 👍
I recommend adding lots of diced onion to the sauce when you add the potato, it tastes delicious! 😊
oh my God sounds right Shute!! that bite you took was like dang!!!
I had this in Beijing but never knew what they were called! Thank you for making this.
So this is jajangmyun’s ancestor.
First...had no idea this recipe is so easy, thanks
This is similar to a Korean jjajangmyeon... my favorite dish. Yum!
That looks so good omg
I love how you love potatos. I love them so much.
I think I had this exact same dish in China. I love your videos and I love learning how to cook this amazing food that I miss so much!!
Omg that looks so good going to try it tonight ! We need more videos !
i was skeptical at first, but the potatoes are actually delicious in this dish, and I'll be making it with them from now on. Thanks for the video!
Ohhhhh... that looks amazing!
One of my fave comfort foods. I learned how to make this in Beijing and its a go to when I'm hungry.
I totally share your liking of settling indoors during inclement weather outside and cooking some comfort food. It is Gemütlichkeit (coziness, in German).
OMG THAT LOOK SOOO GOODD
Liked not because of recipe but for Mike's excitement. LOL.
Horror movies during thunderstorms are the best!
Please make more noodle recipes :)
