Will Sasha complete the challenge? Will he finally hit the end of nduja-related puns? Only one way to find out...

The goal of any thin hand-pulled noodle dough is repeatable extensibility, which is easier to describe than it is to achieve. Here—as in many noodle shops around the world—Tim Chin uses a dough relaxer to make the stretching process much easier and much, much faster. And while some shops use industrial-grade dough enhancers with all sorts of scary names, this recipe uses a natural ingredient that you can readily find at grocery stores or purchase online: nutritional yeast.
You’ll be able to stretch this dough, but it still takes practice to pull the actual noodles when the time comes. But don’t let that scare you: This is a very forgiving dough, and you can practice pulling noodles over and over again to gain muscle memory and confidence before flouring and cooking off a batch of homemade pulled noodles. Be sure to use bread flour with at least 12% protein content—any lower, and the dough will get too sticky and the noodles will lack both structure and chew.

Way too many times I've had to listen to people say something along the lines of, "It's all pasta in the end, just use whatever shape." False. In Italy, sauces and shapes are carefully and intentionally paired with each other, and while you can find both spaghetti and rigatoni coupled with carbonara at restaurants in Rome, you (hopefully) won't ever see carbonara served with fresh, egg dough pasta like tagliatelle. Why? Because you need the chew of durum wheat dried pasta to stand up to the richness of the egg yolk and guanciale in the sauce, as well as the starchy pasta water that it produces to emulsify the sauce. Egg pasta is too delicate and its flavor and texture would be drowned out by the brash bite of the pork fat, black pepper, and Pecorino Romano
Italians usually don't see the need to go into the specifics of why you would never commit such pasta heresy, and instead just matter of factly say, "non ci va" (it doesn't go [together with that]). So, which shapes are worthy of your time? We decided to buy a ton of pasta, set up a camera, and recorded a long series of pasta rants. Check them out.

Tossing food in a skillet is an efficient way to mix and move food around in a pan. But let's be honest: one big reason why we like to throw foods up, out of, and then back into a pan is because it looks kinda badass.
So, for those of you who want to master this skill, here's how you do it. The first thing to know is that tossing should only be attempted in cookware with curved, sloping sides, such as frying pans and woks. The mechanics of food tossing is kind of like ski jumping, and ski jumpers race downhill towards a ramp, not a wall.

Known in Chinese as "ginger juice," this classic Sichuan flavor profile doesn't involve juicing ginger at all—instead, it's a bright and fresh dressing for cold vegetables that features very finely minced ginger. Used on cold dishes, particularly vegetable ones like blanched green beans or spinach, this sauce has a light, bright quality that Fuchsia compares to a vinaigrette. The balanced combination of Chinkiang vinegar, finely minced ginger, and sesame oil enhances the clean and fresh flavor of the vegetables without weighing them down. Fuchsia Dunlop, author of The Food of Sichuan, and Daniel Gritzer discuss the flavor in this video.

In this video, Kenji Lopez-Alt shows you how to use a sharpening stone (also known as a whetstone). This is the best method by far. Not only will it give you the best edge, it also removes the least amount of material. With a fine enough grit, your knife should be able to take hairs off your arm when you've finished. Additionally—and I'm not kidding about the importance of this one—the act of sharpening your knife will help you create a much stronger bond with your blade, and a knife that is treated respectfully will behave much better for its owner. The only problem? It takes a little know-how. That's where we come in. Get yourself some whetstones, follow the instructions, and practice. You won't believe the difference a sharp knife can make in your cooking.

There are the building blocks of málà in there—both numbing Sichuan peppercorns and spicy chilies—along with sweet sugar, salty soy sauce, nutty sesame paste and oil, and sour vinegar.
Though strange flavor is often conflated with bang bang chicken, a dish that uses strange flavor sauce, it's good for more than coating bang bang's cold poached chicken shreds. In this video, the Chinese food expert and author of The Food of Sichuan Fuchsia Dunlop walks us through the basics of strange flavor, and demonstrates how to make it yourself at home.

That's the question I attempt to answer here and in the video above. The answer, as is the case with many things in life, is this: It depends. The best way to cook steak hinges on personal preferences and the context in which you'll be cooking. Do you value a more perfectly even gradient of doneness from edge to edge or a deeper, crustier sear on the exterior? Will you be making just one or two steaks, or are you feeding a crowd? And just how adept of a cook are you? The answers to these questions will often lead you to a different steak-cooking conclusion. Daniel Gritzer compares three methods and give you the pros and cons of each: sous vide, reverse-sear, and butter basting.

A few years back, we raised some money and spent some time asking ourselves, "What would a Food Lab television show look like?" Like the column, the show would strive to communicate complex scientific concepts, and more importantly, show how understanding those concepts can improve your cooking.
We pulled together a production team, and enlisted the help of former Serious Eats intern Katie Quinn to up the on-camera charisma factor, we wrote some scripts, and we shot and edited the episodes.
Then...pretty much nobody saw them. This was our own fault—due to a partnership we made to get the series funded, we were unfortunately required to distribute them behind a paywall. That contract has since ended, and we're in the clear to do with them as we please. So here we are, releasing them to you one-by-one, for free.
In this episode, Kenji and Katie talk about roasting chickens, specifically spatchcocked chicken. Spatchcocked chicken has been split down its back (the easiest way is to cut out its backbone with a pair of sturdy kitchen shears). This process helps the chicken cook more evenly, increases the amount of crispy skin, and leads to record-fast cook times. Bonus: if learn how to do this to a chicken, you’ve got the skills to roast the fastest, crispest, juiciest spatchcock Thanksgiving turkey, too.

In this episode of the Food Lab video series, based on one of Kenji's most popular articles ever, we'll run a series of experiments to determine some truths about steak.
We'll test resting steaks at room temperature (a technique that is, as it turns out, like the inside of a Tauntaun: lukewarm). We'll poke holes in the idea that searing locks in juice. You'll flip when you see how many times you should turn your steak while cooking (hint: not just once). What really is the best way to cook a steak? And will Kenji's cholesterol ever return to normal levels again?
