"Five Spice" refers to the five Chinese Elements.. not a mix of five spices
MSG is so important for Asian food.
I'm a white guy in California USA, and MSG changed everything. It's such an amazing addition to all Asian cooking, hell I even get cheeky and add it to Thai curries!
That thumbnail is horrifying 😂
This had nothing to do with instant noodles, incorrect title.
How can you say Chef makes INSTANT NOODLES Gourmet!! When he DOESN'T use instant noodles but makes noodles, should report this to YouTube for being misleading.
If Ebbers had just handed them some Nongshim Shin Ramyun with fresh vegetables cut into it, it would have been an instant win in my book.
One year later – Ebbers, make a grilled cheese gourmet – make's a quesadilla will 12 sides.
A perfect ramen egg, finely julienned green onions, a few greens, some char siu (not char sui as Ben pronounces it), some pickle element and wood ear mushroom perhaps. Simple, delicious. A spice blend on top of the provided packet as mentioned might be a bit much because those packets do pack a punch if you get a good ramen. But a little extra sesame or tagorashi blend wouldn't hurt. Pay a little more for a better instant ramen and you won't regret it. I mean $2 or $3 more. I know it is a different animal, but you can make a great bowl for say $5 or $6 for two people rather than $1 for a very sad bowl and be left with extra ingredients to make more later. Do not get the generic $1 Western instant cup noodles. Go to an Asian market and be spoiled for choice.
I believe it's buckwheat flour that is used.
I want 😩😍
Here's instant Ramen noodles, I'll make a completely different noodle dish instead of making Gourmet Ramen, aka, actual ramen.
My favorite hack. Pkg ramen, a bit of meat, a bit fresh veg. Any sauce/spice.
This was not making gourmet instant noodles, but just gourmet noodles.
Not what the brief was at all.
Instant noodles are better if you change the order you do things in.
Cook the plain noodles first.
Then drain them.
Then add the flavour packet + mix to coat everything.
The starch from the wet noodles combines with the seasoning powder to create a sticky coating which isn't diluted by water, so the taste of whatever is in your packet is noticeably stronger.
NO! that's not Instant noodles. you made noodles. no no no.
9:16 LMFAOOO JUST JAMIE REACTING AND NO ONE ELSE IS SO FUNNY
No lamb? I don't know about elsewhere in the world but I would be surprised if there is a Chinese restaurant in Australia that does not have a version of at least Mongolian Lamb if not others.
they look like they're holding big knickers 😮
Yeah let’s try this again, dried noodles, dried veg and stock that can last without a fridge
I might be a little late to the table, but this is a recipe for mankini noodles??? 😂😂😂
So….. even at the time this video was made China had locked up all of the Muslim Chinese. Over 10million religious captives. They have been in nozi style concentration camps for close to 10 years now. They have been doing unit 731 style shit to them. Fuck 🇨🇳
Just another “It’s not instant noodles” comment don’t mind me.
I do still feel sad about that though.
OK I am confused about something this is at least the second episode where Ben has talked about how great MSG is. But for all of my adult life I’m 60 I have heard that we need to avoid MSG that is very bad for us. Hence whenever I order Chinese I ask for it without the MSG
Wait how did ebbers get chucked out of China 🤣
Fail
works great. i love that it has stainless steal pot inside https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxG-7WiT7ocumjytOpHDFt632PL0pxXRAg and not the one with coating. we used to have a coated pot before, and the coating slowly peels, and i am sure went into the food that we cooked. Absolutely love stainless steel, and will not use a coated product again.This pot has many settings and many buttons, and i need to sit down with a manual to figure out which setting to use. I used the basic functions, and even though i am not technologically skilled, i turned it on and assembled it without any help.Very satisfied with this product overall.
This is as far away from instant noodles as Britain is from Xian.
I hope you see this Barry but isn't you that wins most of the challenges by thinking like a chef? I think Barry is actually a Greek God masquerading as a mortal!
I’m sorry I know the aim of this series is to turn a basic dish into a high quality dish that reflects the original dish and Ebbers put so much effort and provided a lot of firsthand knowledge into this but you can’t make instant noodles gourmet, that’s the beauty of them 😂😂 it’s literally impossible to take a dish that only needs hot water a high quality dish because instant noodles are specifically intended to be simple and convenient, not filled with fancy expensive ingredients 😂
Ive never heard that cut of chicken called a supreme. Here, in the states, it is cut/purchased/sold as an airline breast.
Nice job, but a lot of work.😅
2 yrs late but where are the instant noodles here? Give him instant ramen and make it gourmet Ebbers!
"So simple even Barry could make it"? Kinda rude talking to the new sous-chef of sorted that way, innit Jaimie?
All the flak thrown at barry in this episode yet he won the sou chef challenge
Not instant noodles in any way. Incorrect cusine origin. And in no way instant.
I have a friend who loves the spice packets from instant noodles. I find them too salty, so if I'm making a huge batch in camp I'll hide a couple spice packets for him.
I think Ben should have started with an instant noodle and improved it. He is just making a noodle dish……
CUPASOUP – EBBERS, MAKE IT GOURMET!
salt!
Nope, nothing about this was instant😂
