Dude I was kinda disappointed, too. Mainly because it didn't make sense. If Po's dad's soup was the same and had no secret ingredient, why tf was it better than Po's LOL
The reason why you need to make the noodles yourself is because the secret ingredient is soul. Even if your hand-pulled noodles aren't totally authentic-tastng, the act of making them yourself makes the soup special.
"The only perfect noodles can be found in one place, in your heart" If you've got noodles in your heart, something has gone very wrong when you were eating them.
When i hear "secrect ingredient" in movies/cartoons i just assume its MSG. Thats the real life equivalent to a secret ingredient that makes everything tastes good

@@jadadaniels7226 why would a restaurant order a shipment of food that wouldn't be used?? (Though it could be for a different restaurant, but I don't think there are other restaurants nearby since none are mentioned)
@@goose3713 there it is! You see Mr. Ping chop a daikon radish in the first movie. He stopped using red radishes because baby Po ate them when his mom left him in the crate.
If I remember Kung Fu Panda 2 correctly, Ping actually did use carrots in his soup (and specifically stopped using radishes). Or, at least, they were among his delivered ingredients.
No. He was using Radishes in both the first and the second film, the difference is between Daikons and Red Radishes, both belong to the same Family of vegetables but are fairly distinct in taste, Radishes are Red and have a more pungent, Peppery, bitter flavour, while Daikons are white, and have a sweeter, milder, more rounded out flavour. Hence why when he switched from Radishes to Daikons his soup got sweeter.
@@harshbing8123 I never even experienced the taste and smell of the Secret Ingredient Noodle Soup before in my life. But I guess nothing can go wrong with a nice hearty bowl of soup.
@@avanotalive Yeah, but even if he switched to Daikon just because he had no choice, he says “…ever since then, my soup and my life have been that much sweeter.” Implying that ever since then, he kept making the soup the same way. And it’s a better story if Mr Ping chose to change his recipe to reflect that night he adopted Po, and the fact that his life has felt sweeter since then.
They probably only harvest pork during the spring because they get engorged dicks for mating but still I. This movie we legit see a fucking pig eating that shit
No joke--that's dropping major $$$ at a specialty market; assuming your city / town HAS a specialty market that stocks these VERY expensive, VERY perishable items. If you don't cook ethnic food on the reg, all those expensive, specialty ingredients go to waste quickly. It's vastly cheaper just to find a good ethnic restaurant.
Nero Wolfe outside of the Chinese scallops and the longon fruit what it perticualry expensive or speciality? 90% of that can be found in supermarkets. And most of it is dried so it’s long life. Meaning most of it is hardly highly perishable. Also, please for the love of god, “ethnic food”??? The fuck man. Hahah 😂
I’m honestly surprised you made it that far with the noodles… I’ve watched my grandma make them for years and I still haven’t figured out just how she does it. Props to you.
Alright Babish, it’s time you finally introduce some real food and high end cuisine to this channel. Let’s see you make some tubby custard and tubby toast from the Teletubbies. Edit: Thanks for all the likes and replies!
I cried watching this, me and my great grandma used to make "secret ingredient soup" which was just base chicken ramen with crystal hot sauce and lemon sauce, I miss her everyday and everytime I make soup I think about her, I obviously use more ingredients but sometimes I just, I make that soup and think about how proud she must be of me, atleast I hope she is
I agree with FireBlasta and this also happens to me with my Japanese great grandmother, her name was Sumiko and she married an American solider during WWII and moved to America. Whenever my twin sister and I would go to her house she would make us curry and rice balls (just rice in the shape of a ball, you do it by wetting your hands and putting salt on them, taking a scoop of rice and then rolling it into a ball and then placing it into clear plastic wrap to wrap it up). She died in Dec. of 2018 and my family misses her very much. And I’m sure your gran is proud of you (also that soup sounds very good, even though I don’t like spicy things).
Pulling noodles always looks so cool. I went to Yunnan, and whenever the dough touched the metal table they were making the noodles on, there would just be a loud gunshot noise. The noodles were great. I went there a lot

I am Chinese, have lived in the US for nearly two decades. I love this video, made me laugh so hard - it is the combination of me and my western friends when I cook for them; I did not know my cooking was so weird to them. Still, they all love the final product (as long as they do not know what the secret ingredients are, this is a joke), just like when they go to the over-priced over-touted over-crowded Ramen house (they do not know the secret ingredients either, this is true).
@Matis H Yes. There are actually many Generals whose last name is Cao. But the one most famous in the US probably is Genera Tsao for his chicken instead of war. Tsao and Cao are different spellings for the same Chinese character. When people really want to pronounce my last name, I use Genera Tsao chicken to help them get it right.
@Matis H Surely. Cao Cao. 曹操。When in China or when talking to Chinese, if I need to tell others my name, I would say "my last name is Cao, Cao Cao's Cao." Then people would know exactly which character I am talking about. Cao Cao is the most famous person (not just the most famous general) with the last name Cao throughout China's history. But here, in the US, most people wouldn't know that. Are you Chinese?
I mean it is a pigs tail, and if it's not then it's another piece of pork. Pig penises are long, thin, and curl at the end. Source: I've had the unfortunate encounter with 2 pigs on my aunt's farm. No questions I still cry about it.

Don't feel bad: making hand pulled noodles and knife-shaved noodles at home/learning from family, I can confirm: scientific ratios based on weight on the working recipe changes day to day. Also, "Ramen" is the Japanification of "La Mien", or "Pulled Noodles." :P
This is so bizarrely timed. My boyfriend has been trying to teach himself the ways of lamian hand pulled noodles. In my efforts to help, I too have been driven mad by the conflicting recipes, tips, and hacks talking about gluten content, pH, etc. We're this close to going to China and attending noodle school. Which is a real thing.
Please don't go to China. Their government is doing horrible things to its people, including but not limited to live organ harvesting of the Uyghur people. Don't help fund their regime with tourism.
No Name I get that you’ve been soaking in every last bit of anti China material but did you really have to go and say that it’s worse than Nazi Germany? Sickening.
I don't know about organ harvesting, but I do know a HKPF officer walked into a crowd of protestors and shot one of them with his side arm. There are wider videos where you can see clearly lines of egress for the officer.
“Are we sure this is pigs tail fellas” The only reason I didn’t lose my shit was because it’s 2:30 am and my parents are sleeping like3 feet away from me rn
"How is he doctor?" "I don't know how to break this to you, but somehow, a perfect bowl of noodles was found in his heart. Of course, he never stood a chance. I'm sorry."
Considering making noodles is a very difficult process, I would actually say that he was wrong and that there is a secret ingredient in the soup; experience. It's a long and arduous process but only gets easier with time and effort, much like a martial art. Kind of poignant when you think about it.
@Weeb Tendency tai lung defeated himself, po reflected all his anger back at him just like the mirror surface of the scroll, one of my favorite scenes of the movie is when tai lung opens the scroll and yells "there's nothing here!!" as he sees his own reflection, the anger had blinded him so bad he couldn't even see himself, he was nothing, nothing but rage and sadness, I always wanted the writers to bring him back in the sequels and give him a redemption arc or something like that where he finds inner peace and the ability to see himself again because if you really think about it his story is very sad.
"Everyone seems to have a recipe for the perfect hand-pulled noodles and everyone else seems to think that everyone else is wrong." Ah, so it's just like everything else on the internet.
Yeah but face to face, normally they just nod and stay silent. They don't get vocal until they get home and hop on Twitter... or Facebook...... or Live Journal...?
I believe that this video, including the part about mastering the art on how to make homemade noodles definitely and truly deserves a AAA+, a 10/10, and a gold medal on this one.
2:10 carrots are definitely used in traditional chinese cooking, as they help to mellow out, give colour and sweeten the meats in the soup, making it taste great (Adding some big chinese Mushrooms or dried fish can add some flavour to the soups too) There's a chilli paste that has some small shrimps in them (hebihiam) which is pretty nice for noodles
"Are we sure this is a pig's tail?" As someone who had to watch pig insemination videos for multiple agriculture class, Yes, I am 100% sure that is a tail.
"The only ingredients are noodles and soup" _Alright seems easy enough!_ *14 hours later* "Now we are done with the noodles" _Alright, I take that back..._
You’re a mad man for hand pulling noodles. I always assumed Po’s noodle was Lanzhou beef noodles as that is the most well known noodle involving radish slices and clear broth. Definitely one of the most delicious noodle recipes ever.
As someone who was raised in Japan by native nanas and has a semi-decent knack as making hand-pulled noodles - your first attempt was 10x better than my first. Keep at it, it only took three years to figure it out enough to not offend my nana.
@@KentGoSuzuki Dude, I am not even Japanese, but i know "Soba" noodles are authentically hand pulled. There are still some japanese chefs who prefer to hand pull than hand cut their soba noodles.
The length you go to in these videos is ridiculous and I have a profound respect for you as a result. Thank you for going to insane depths of "from scratch" to make these videos for us.
5:21 "......and it would be cheap and it would be easy, and it would be convenient." sounded like you were regretting it hahaha but a chef gotta do what a chef does.
Could you please do Remy’s soup from ratatouille? Edit: Ratatouille has been my favorite film since I was 5 and my favorite scene is still the soup scene where remy just followed his instincts and made the soup better. I’ve always wondered what that soup tasted like..
Tip: put your dried scallops in water and wait for about 8 hours. It will help the scallops not clump up and become hard. Add the scallop water into the soup as well
Gonna be honest, this was the best noodle experience i had. Especially because my mom’s hometown in china had specialized in herbs and spices for food. Just so happened she had a collection of spices from china into hawaii.
Asian moms: how good at cooking are you? Babish: well I have my own YT cooking show Asian moms: So? Babish: I can make hand made noodles Asian moms: OOOHHHHHHHH
@@Nate-tx9fp I wonder why that is? I know my grandma is AMAZING at cooking (we're Hispanic so we make a lot of food all the time as our passtime), she says its all her years of experience and the recipes she had from her mother, and her mother's mother, and so on and so forth. In my personal opinion, I think when a you become a grandma you just go, "Okay yep, time to feed these kids the best meals for the rest of my days."
"Flour, water, salt and alcaline"But that all changed when Babish tried pulling noodles. Only an experienced cook could master pulling noodles. Only he could stop the unexperienced Babish, but when the world needed him most, he vanished
Whoops I forgot to add the dew of a single ginkgo leaf and the energy of the universe

Don't feel bad: making hand pulled noodles and knife-shaved noodles at home/learning from family, I can confirm: scientific ratios based on weight on the working recipe changes day to day.
Also, "Ramen" is the Japanification of "La Mien", or "Pulled Noodles." :P
Lamian, not La Mien, it's not french :P

The process of making hand-made noodles seems very traumatizing. I'd rather retake my entire college course.
This is so bizarrely timed. My boyfriend has been trying to teach himself the ways of lamian hand pulled noodles. In my efforts to help, I too have been driven mad by the conflicting recipes, tips, and hacks talking about gluten content, pH, etc.
We're this close to going to China and attending noodle school. Which is a real thing.
Wow, best of luck you guys!
The lack of authentic Lanzhou lamian is the one thing preventing me from moving abroad
Please don't go to China. Their government is doing horrible things to its people, including but not limited to live organ harvesting of the Uyghur people. Don't help fund their regime with tourism.
No Name I get that you’ve been soaking in every last bit of anti China material but did you really have to go and say that it’s worse than Nazi Germany? Sickening.
Nufu I found the Beijing mole
I don't know about organ harvesting, but I do know a HKPF officer walked into a crowd of protestors and shot one of them with his side arm. There are wider videos where you can see clearly lines of egress for the officer.

Considering making noodles is a very difficult process, I would actually say that he was wrong and that there is a secret ingredient in the soup; experience. It's a long and arduous process but only gets easier with time and effort, much like a martial art. Kind of poignant when you think about it.
Experience is no secret ingredient though.
@Weeb Tendency tai lung defeated himself, po reflected all his anger back at him just like the mirror surface of the scroll, one of my favorite scenes of the movie is when tai lung opens the scroll and yells "there's nothing here!!" as he sees his own reflection, the anger had blinded him so bad he couldn't even see himself, he was nothing, nothing but rage and sadness, I always wanted the writers to bring him back in the sequels and give him a redemption arc or something like that where he finds inner peace and the ability to see himself again because if you really think about it his story is very sad.

Underrated comment is underrated
*ding*
2:10 carrots are definitely used in traditional chinese cooking, as they help to mellow out, give colour and sweeten the meats in the soup, making it taste great
(Adding some big chinese Mushrooms or dried fish can add some flavour to the soups too)
There's a chilli paste that has some small shrimps in them (hebihiam) which is pretty nice for noodles
"Are we sure this is a pig's tail?"

You’re a mad man for hand pulling noodles.
I always assumed Po’s noodle was Lanzhou beef noodles as that is the most well known noodle involving radish slices and clear broth. Definitely one of the most delicious noodle recipes ever.

"Four" is a "good" amount. Hah! (For those that don't get what might not actually be a joke the number 4 is considered unlucky in Chinese culture)

@Aroxar it's can be considered basically every number with a 4 in it, but mainly 4

Could you please do Remy’s soup from ratatouille?
Edit:
Ratatouille has been my favorite film since I was 5 and my favorite scene is still the soup scene where remy just followed his instincts and made the soup better. I’ve always wondered what that soup tasted like..
Yes! Same here, always wondered what the soup tasted like before and after Remy put his own flair on it.

Everyone: Can't you just buy fresh noodles at the local Asian market?
Babish: Yes. But nO.
Tip: put your dried scallops in water and wait for about 8 hours. It will help the scallops not clump up and become hard. Add the scallop water into the soup as well
@doom_371blahblah5he adds dried scallops at 2:18
Gonna be honest, this was the best noodle experience i had. Especially because my mom’s hometown in china had specialized in herbs and spices for food. Just so happened she had a collection of spices from china into hawaii.
