Been making "scallion oil noodles" using this recipe for the last two weeks:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5me5Cgt3-M

Tonight was my first time using fresh made noodles (Shanghai style, similar in size to linguine, but thicker/more squared off) instead of dry, and man; the difference is night and day.
Fully cooked, yet pleasantly chewy, and the recipe is so simple, you can Swiss Army knife it with additions to taste.

The first I had a few different ways, but was usually banana/sweet potatoes with a hot sugary coating that started soft but hardened as it cooled.

There's a video by the same dude I just posted about that one:

Chef Mike style Dan Dan noodles with gai choy (salted, then blanched). TVP (rehydrated with mushroom powder) and hoisin were substituted for meat and oyster sauce, respectively.

There are some things I'd change for next time, but it was alright.
Next time I'll saute the greens in garlic, ginger, and soy, and the TVP needs more mushroom powder if I'm not going to use meat.

No idea if this is the right place to ask this, but, I really like Mongolian grill. Yes I know it's not even remotely actual Mongolian food. But I was curious if anyone knew what kind of noodles and sauces that dumb chain uses so I can replicate it at home in a wok?

Man, I wish we still had one of those; it wasn't great but at least it was different from the photocopy bar and grill bullshit that's out here.

Google pulled this up. No measurements, but it should be a good place to start:

Lol I got burned on a can of that crap a long time ago, now I just get a pack of vanilla jello pudding when I need it for Nanaimo bars or whatever. I probably wouldn't use pudding to deep fry lotus root though.

Isn't it like 90% starch anyway, I'm sure it won't be too bad

Most brands deep fry their noodles to preserve them, however some are not. Nongshim and probably a few others uses that as a marketing point on some of their ramen products:

Ya the "high end" instant noodles coming out of China and Korea are amazing. I can never go back to the 50cent stuff, even if I'm tarting it up with my own ingredients.

I'd be very interested in a goon database or if someone knows of a good existing one, documenting all the instant noodles that have made their way over to US markets. There are so many, too many to try alone.

Not a goon database, but one dude has made it their calling to try every instant ramen there is, and to post about it:

Anyone have a recipe they like for Fish Maw Soup?

I see this stuff at my Asian mart all the time and I've always wondered how it was used.

Yeah, my Asian mart sells them; they don't really exist outside of those in my city.

I'm a fan of mushroom stock powder (I forget the brand though). Works in other stuff too.

One thing I didn't find at the supermarket though was gluten. Is this something one can normally buy? Is it fresh or frozen? I'm looking for the spongey stuff I've had in soups before.

Usually canned.
