Choosing the Best Mortar & Pestle for Your Kitchen 🥄

Bridget Lancaster and Lan Lam make Dan Dan Mian, a Chinese noodle dish that packs a lot of spicy and savory flavor. Julia Collin Davison and Adam Ried then talk about the uses for a mortar and pestle, and discuss the criteria you should look for when buying one for yourself. Finally, Julia and Dan Souza make a rich and flavorful batch of Shīzi Tóu (Lion's Head Meatballs) that are as tender as they are aromatic.
