Done these quite a few times and they're amazing especially when you consider the amount of expertise they require (not much. Things I like to add in addition to the standard cucumber and carrot: 1. cherry tomatoes! Surely not the most common ingredient in Chinese/Chinese-inspired things but suits this one so well. 2. Chinese preserved crispy mushrooms! You find them in glass jars with a cartoon guy giving the thumbs up or something like that. They add some crunch as well as protein and some mustard greens flavour.

Suggestion for chef John, in the sauce that if you combine same amount of tahini would be upgrade your cold noodles. What I mean is you still need peanuts butter, but additional same amount of tahini, give it extra flavor and richness and also sauce will coat the noodles even more. Also add little bit of sugar to balance all the flavor. Every summer time, my family always makes this, always love it

The corporate overlords are not too smart. The intro was perfect, now not so much. I'm saying anything about CJ! Rather, I'm referring to the mystique of Chef John being lost by seeing him; it's like the Wizard of Oz being seen insead of being just heard. But no one, and I mean no one, ever accusted the corporate overlords of being smart.

Always wear cut resistant gloves. I learned my lesson the hard way.
I sliced the tip of a finger off on a mandoline. Not because the carrot was too short and I was trying to get as much as I could. It just snapped in half as it was oddly shaped. I was mindlessly going through the back and forth motion and couldn't react in time.

That picture-in-picture for the intro caught me off guard. I was pleasantly surprised. (:
The salad is one of my go-to quick snacks. I often use those vacuum-packed udon or ramen noodles that cook in 90s - you can just dump some boiling water from the kettle on them, no need to use the stove at all.

Don’t trust the cut proof glove! I had one on, but when my hand slipped i got cut very badly. 4 stitches and nerve damage to my thumb. Perhaps it would have been worse without the glove, but it was pretty terrible. Taking your time and being extremely careful is best

I made this for dinner tonight! it was great! I substituted cabbage for cucumbers because I didn't want to go out to shop. And I added some cherry tomatoes. It was a great companion to some leftover salmon. I'll make it again soon!

I’ve been making a version of this for years, Pro Tip: DO NOT SKIP rinsing the noodles after cooking. I do meal prep with this recipe and if you don’t rinse the noodles they will clump like they were glued together
Thank you Chef!

Cold sesame noodles was one of my favorite takeout foods back when I was living in New York City in the 1990s. It’s still one of my favorites. I always have these ingredients in my pantry. Thanks for reminding me to make it!

I love this recipe! Except you must have a tongue of steel for that much chili crisp! I love it, but I have never used more than a teaspoon! Usually, I'll do 1/4 tsp per serving. Can't wait to try this one, thanks Chef!

This might be the first time I've ever heard Chef John mention an obscure, uncommon ingredient with zero explanation of what it is or where to get it. Come on man, what the heck is chili crisp

embarrassing that AI is forcing people to put their facecams in every video
what's also sad is that AI is getting better at copying human faces, so that won't last for long either

Chef tip for cooking Asian cold noodles are cooling the noodles with lots of ice. Using your hands to rinse and rub the noodles in cold running water. Then drain the water well

I love my mandolin. The FBI is no longer able to identify me by my fingerprints!
Seriously though, I did buy one of those chainmail gloves after a particularly bad encounter.

Anyone have a recommendation for a chili crisp that doesn't taste like fish Tried Laoganma and it sucks. Can't figure out why anyone would want to eat that nasty stuff in anything

As soon as you’re done using that type of mandolin, immediately close the blade guard so that you can’t accidentally reach over and cut yourself. Ask me how I know.

Absolutely love this. Spicy peanut noodles (of some sort) have been a regular in my rotation for at least 15yrs. Great with chicken or crispy tofu. Hot and eapecially cold.

Hmm, if you're using spaghetti for this, what could you swap out to make less spicy spaghetti salad I still love spicy food, but alas, my 40 year old stomach does not.
