香辣担担面. -- More dan dan mian. 正宗香辣担担面! Totally different from the woman above. This one is awesome for the crazy mix of science and passion here. Dude drops some serious method on the making of red oil. Frying the pan full of the two chilis ((朝天椒, 二金条辣椒) is serious, too.

Thanks. This was great. Even without knowing a word of Chinese, the great production values allowed me to get a pretty decent idea of how to reproduce the dish. Seems like a regular cooking show: are there any more of this gentleman hosting, on Youtube?

He blanches the duck blood real quick in water. He must be a real Nanjinger because I've only seen duck blood for sale all boxed up like that when I was in Nanjing.

If you liked the show with the guys cooking dan dan mian and shui zhu yu, the show is called 天天饮食. If you type that into Tudou or Youku or other Chinese language fake-Youtubes, there are lots of episodes.

Lots of episodes on Tudou.

It was really popular when it came out but the original host left. I think he's on the CCTV kids channel now.

Beijing based media company, Danwei has launched a series of videos which they describe as "a quick guide to traditional Chinese food as it's prepared where the cuisine was born: in Chinese rural areas and villages"

The first is about Chestnut Chicken Stew from Anhui province.

In Chinese with English subtitles.

Sorry for digging out this thread but I stumbled upon this video and it has intrigued me a bit... Would anyone who speaks Chinese be kind enough to explain what is he cooking, and what is he using for ingredients. Thanks in advance. :)

He is cooking "spicy wheat gluten" or as he names it at the end "功夫面筋 - Kung Fu Gluten"

 

In order, the Chinese captions read (in places a rough translation - the language gets a bit cryptic sometimes.)

This is a poem praising the dish. It is virtually untranslatable, but just really tells you he likes it!

 

It was interesting for me to see this for the first time. I see the wheat gluten sold dried or in jars all the time, but I've never seen it being made from scratch before.

Thanks a lot, Liuzhou, that helped a lot. :)

 

Incidentally, one of his videos is translated and therein I picked up one of the best culinary advice found anywhere:

Looking yummy. But very difficult to make at home ( for a beginner like me).
