instant Ramen might be one of the most important food products in the entire world from college struggle meals to a late night where you don’t have any ingredients in the fridge or time it saved us all but there’s a big problem instant Ramen is just kind of boring after a while it’s a packet with the spices water you boil it it’s done yeah there’s other flavors but since it only takes a few minutes couldn’t you leverage it a bunch of other ways that’s why today I’m showing you every practical way to use instant Ramen I’m not here to waste your time we’re not going to throw it in an air fryer in the dishwasher on top of a microwave and let it seep into the internal unit of it we spend a lot of time figuring out the best most realistic and some are on the edge for sure ways to use Ramen and actually enjoy every bite but just to be extra sure we’re going to make all of them rank them and find out which one is the best and at the very least you’re going to have a ton of other ways to use instant Ramen and yes the cabinet is back by very popular demand let’s make this shall we the first Ramen of the day straight up now what is straight up exactly I mean just cook it according to package directions Ramen goes in to boiling water and we add all of our different things this comes with a vegetable mix now add the rest of my flavor packets beef bone flavor whatever that is I still think Shin black is the best multi-purpose Ramen anyone can eat it and enjoy it it’s got lots of flavorings and it has a little veg stir up my noodles then you just let that go till the noodles are cooked our noodles are soft now all you got to do is pour it into a bowl and enjoy you know how to eat this right I mean it’s delicious by itself that’s a solid seven and that’s a high rating for me I’ve said it before I love inster ramen I always have I always will you can use any brand instant Ramen you like and it’s delicious but where does it go from here we got 24 other ways let’s go to the very next zest it up we already have our bowl of ramen plated so how do you zest it up all you do is just add stuff to it that’s the beauty of instant Ramen since this takes almost no time why not take an extra couple minutes to make a softboiled egg literally boil an egg for 6 minutes take it out put in an ice water bath and you end up with a nice beautiful glossy egg but on the inside is ooey gooey beautiful you can use both of these eggs you can use one egg that goes right on you could add some green onion maybe you have some leftover meat like brown pork or cooked chicken or whatever you got or maybe you use a meat substitute I don’t know I’m not judging often times in traditional Ramen they’re going to add a little bit of fat at the end so you could add toasted sesame oil chili oil I’m going to add a light little drizzle toasted sesame oil over this bad boy and that is a beautiful bowl of ramen this almost looks like I got it from a restaurant just because I added some garnish and fresh food to it and it’s a whole another level now this is an actual bowl of ramen experience in what 10 minutes yeah giving this a solid eight that went a whole point up big move you know I rarely give eights and nines is this really going to be the highest rated one despite how simple it is I don’t know we got 23 more to go moving on next one carbonara Ramen again you can use any brand you want I’m using Nissan ton kotu three packets one pan for the tossing and cooking one for the boiling of the noodles before we boil the noodles saucepan Guan Al in medium low heat so I’m going to add the oil packet to the Guan chal I’m riffing here and then just let that cook down let that render out until crispy and brown like this we’re going to boil our noodles just in or whatever the package says our guelli is almost done our noodles are cooked the pan is off we’re going to add add noodles to the pan that’s all right it’s a little messy whatever get a little bit of water in there that’s good the water’s going to help with the Emulsion add egg yolks a little bit of our Tang kotu seasoning packet we can add more later I don’t want to oversalt it some pecino Romano finally shredded and some Parmesan Rano you’re going to use your pasta water to melt and emulsify this but first we’re starting with nun just do it as is and toss it’s look a little dry perfect we add a little bit of our noodle water that’s full of starch loosen that up give it a chance to mix before you add any more max Mariola calls this the sound of love I’m going to add a touch more of the ton kotu seasoning little bit more pasta water just to loosen that bad boy up look how beautifully creamy emulsified that is a sauce now we plate it we use the ton kotu Ramen which I think really doubles down on the creamy sort of Porky Vibes so let’s see how that went holy that is on God Road that’s aing nine minimal added ingredients in time extraordinary increas in quality it’s creamy it’s Rich yet it’s balanced I don’t know if anything is going to beat this but we got plenty more to go so let’s find out Ramen as breading chicken breast salt both sides you got a typical three compartment breading got the flour egg wash and then typically this would be breadcrumbs or panko but instead we have crushed ramen noodles dry hand wet hand so I’ll use my dry hand for the flour both sides shake off the excess this is allpurpose flour into the egg switch my wet hand both sides into my breading both sides you really got to make sure this is fully adhering now we’re ready to fry we got fry oil 350 fah and drop your chicken in I have no idea what’s going to happen will the breading stick will it fall off I don’t know I’m going to give it a little flip wow that looks interesting I don’t know if this is going to get crispy my Ramen packet put it in a sifter and just sift that all over Ramen Fried Chicken this looks nuts hopefully it’s crispy breading’s not really falling off I’m surprised wow this is great this is unlike any crunch in a fried chicken you’ve ever had is it the most ideal crunch I’m looking for I don’t know it’s creating a nice coating it makes it taste like honestly flavored Fried Chicken I’m going to give this a solid 7.2 it’s very good I would absolutely eat it again would I make it again maybe if I’m really in the mood for it but my thought is like why not just make regular fried chicken and then use the seasoning packet that’s just me moving on little Ramen snack mix with two Shin black Ramen instant noodles just straight up just break them into low pieces and Fry 350 fit you can go big pieces you can go small pieces once it start to turn golden brown drain there’s tons of seasoning that come with this doing a little bit of everything red seasoning as well toss that together now we combine for a snack mix once this is cooled down you’re going to add pretzels cashews toasted and salted handied pecans potato chips and M&M’s give that a toss if you want you can season it with a little bit of your shin black seasoning not too much and that is a beautiful snack mix I mean do you really need me to explain snack mix look get a little bit of everything little Ramen seasoned up little M&M little Candi nut this is not a healthy trail mix but God damn it’s good it’s crunchy sweet salty spicy umami I’ve never been a huge fan of snack mix but this is a snack mix worthy of a seven moving on Tick Tock Ramen hate that boiling water noodles go in no seasoning packet the Tik Tok recipe has no seasoning not shocked about that now while that’s cooking tan butter in melt it going to add crushed garlic so you’re going to add soy sauce brown sugar and crushed red pepper flakes so I’m essentially making like a little glaze here once your Ramen is just almost cooked through but not quite drain that add to your sauce get it coated you got a beaten egg let that cook it’s essentially like fried rice kind of which we do have a version for that coming up scramble it heat off and then just mix everything together that’s literally it but I am a big fan of Beauty and simplicity so maybe it’s very good let’s plate it and find out they suggest you top it with a little bit of green onion and a little bit of sesame seed it’s okay it’s probably one of the most overhyped things I’ve ever tasted it tastes far less good than a bowl of ramen could be a little spicier salt levels need some lift so maybe more soy but I don’t know the flavors are kind of confused I mean I feel like there’s a million ways you could have made this better I don’t know this I’ll give it a six moving on Pizza Ramen how do you make ramen out of pizza I got cooked noodles in here from a Ramen packet I’m going to season my noodles lightly with the packet seasoning that comes with it start light add more later if you want more I usually do about half toss that all together so we want our crust to have flavor cast iron skillet Ramen goes in the bottom press that out firmly little bit of olive oil around the edge that is going to help get the base crusty and crispy any pizza sauce you like going to spread that on to your pizza spread it out leave a bit of a border so we have montere Jack or mozzarella little parmesan of regano toss that together and that is our cheese mix you just sprinkle that directly on top all over your pie optionally you want to add some pepperoni you can do that yourself it’s going to go in at 400° F till the cheese is melted and the bottom is Crisp Pizza is done beautiful this feels wrong only one way to find out how do I eat this tastes like pizza with all the textures you don’t want four out of 10 quick redo we let this cool completely and it did Stay Together tastes great I don’t hate it I’ll give it an additional point five will I make this again no please just make a pizza mac and cheese Ramen we got a rud going on here butter flour give it a good old fashion Whiskey Business cook that down about a minute whisking often now once your Ru is cooked you’re going to add heavy cream Daddy’s milky wilkies American cheese let that melt little cheddar cheese cut off the heat little grer cooked ramen noodles plus its water all right mix that all up get it nice and coated into a bowl and then optionally you can season it with your Ramen packets so you give a little mix and now what you have is a Ramen mac and cheese holy that’s insane that’s not even mac and cheese anymore there needs to be a new name for this just experientially really what it is it’s just a creamy luxurious Ramen it’s almost as if you combined a sucan Ramen with regular Ramen with instant Ramen with mac and cheese with fedini alfredo but with ramen noodles the Umami is unbelievable this is a 9.2 this out of anything I am making again good Lord have mercy although this is rated High I doubt this is going to be the highest because there are many more to come and we’re on our roll so moving on Ramen waffle look we had to add something to the list I wanted to try it I do have my thoughts on how this might be terrible one package of ramen with a large ramen noodle brick into boiling water we shall not be putting the seasoning in it yet cuz that’s going to go into the actual waffle cook these noodles until they separate and are pretty much ready to eat then we’ll drain them the noodles are just cooked through I’m going to drain them got a bowl here noodles go in whatever packets they have put them in to taste a little bit of Locka paste as well as some of the Locka powder we have one whole egg that’s going to get cracked in glove mix that all together till thoroughly combined should look like that so we got our waffle iron right here grease it lightly and on goes your ramen noodles it’s okay if you don’t fill the entire thing generally we just want a rough waffle shape and then just let it rip and pre boom you got a Ramen waffle look at that guy dude that’s kind of a little cutie right there ow that’s a beautiful Ramen waffle right there so look you can eat this straight up hot and fresh you can also top it with other things such as an eggs benedict Vibe Pudo poached egg hollay I should mention this is just an example of what you could put on the waffle to Me This lends itself to an application that is Savory just like this x Benedict H this tastes amazing texturally I’m not a fan I was expecting more out of this honestly I don’t think Ramen should be waffled I’m going to give this a 4 out of 10 on texture flavor it’s great it’s like an 8 out of 10 so I guess you could say that falls around a five or a 6 out of 10 I’d rather just eat XG Benedict or I’d rather just not waffle Ramen that just goes to show how incredibly important it is to have great texture because the flavor is not going to save me wanting to eat this it’s exactly what my cookbook is about texture over taste yes this is a plug the Link’s in the description it’s available and it’s a New York Times bestseller thank you to you thank you for buying it thank you for your reviews I love you moving on this is my favorite way to make an instant Ramen I’ve got two slices of bacon you can also do three that have been cooked low and slow until very very crispy they should have rendered out quite a bit of fat at least a tablespoon if there’s not enough fat in there you can always add a little more and heat that pan up and you’re going to add one to two sliced shitake mushrooms one green onion that’s been thinly sliced and one clove of garlic thinly sliced tiny bit of salt to taste just sauté that just until everything’s cooked through going to set that to the side as well you can add a touch more oil to the pan keep that over high heat add in one egg just let that fry once that’s nice and cooked Off remove your egg from the pan we’ve cooked all of our toppings just make your Ramen according to the package directions I would recommend nisson kotu Ramen so we’re going to need two cups of water one and two medium high heat and just stir you’re going to scrape all that bacony fond off the bottom once that’s out of boil add your noodle in add your seasoning from the Nissan this looks like a flavored sort of oil that’s going to go in now if you have a lid cover that up Let it boil all right once those noodles are nice and softened up and cooked through going to lower that heat just a little bit and we’re going to add a splash of heavy cream stir that in now from there we can plate into your bowl the broth goes followed by our nudes your cooked veg your fried egg cooked bacon sesame oil a little bit of green onion this is like my childhood Ramen so now at this point we will puncture our egg get everything all tossed together as a bowl of ramen this is the best incident Ramen I think anyone will ever have if you love ton kotu this is going to be probably a top Contender for you and I’m going to give this a solid nine and yes it is biased yes it is the way I like to eat it of course I’m going to give it a nine but I also think others would agree moving on fried rice inspired ramen noodles so oil in the walk which is already hot by the way to that dly sliced shallot carrot little green onion ginger garlic salt to taste stir fry once that’s softened crack in an egg let that cook now at that stage you’re going to add cooked ramen noodles with no flavor packet and separately you’ll season this with the flavor packet starting with one a little bit of sesame oil and stir fry now from there optionally you feel like it needs it you can add a little bit of soy sauce to taste toss all that together and now we serve all right noodles go into a bowl little bit of green onion on top and you enjoy fried rice flavored noodles with Ramen seasoning I don’t think it’s blowing my skirt up as much as I thought it would it t tastes like fried rice but do be aware any Ramen packet you add to this is going to totally overwhelm the flavor it’s enjoyable it’s fun I would rather just have fried rice I’m going to give this a 6.8 it’s pretty good but moving on Dand noodles we’ve got ground pork that I’ve cooked down in a pan you’re going to add shallot garlic Touch of salt to taste just to help that sweat sauté that I just want these vegetables softened so I got peanut butter need to loosen that so I’m adding a little bit of hot water to that I’m going to whisk that together go chugar flakes Locka Curry noodles boiled in just water I did not use their packet seasoning yet you can use regular ramen noodles but I think the Locka works really really well here toss all that together nicely coat them you’re going to add some of your Locka paste comes in the bag optionally you’re going to add some of your Locka powder you can use a little bit of your water to help dissolve that toss that together you’re going to add your thin out peanut butter little bit of sugar rice vinegar mirin fold all that together till thoroughly combined last thing seasoned lightly with soy to taste little gochugaru and some sliced green onion daad da I mean danand Dan noodles these aren’t really exactly danand noodles they’re more like danand inspired peanut noodles I’m really trying to St my diet right now right I’m eating one noodle okay I’ll eat two that’s Bonkers you can make this sure with any Ramen and it’s going to be incredibly delicious but the loxa curry whatever they’re putting in that powder it’s like a coconut creamy loxa Curry Vibe it’s not very spicy this is creamy salty Umami a little bit sweet this is my ideal peanut noodle I’m going to give this an 8 out of 10 for the peanut noodle really really good moving on chili oil noodles ramen inspired you’ve done this recipe before it’s in our cheapest Ramen video we have goj jugaru and our ramen packet spices in here along with green onion finally chopped garlic finally chopped you can also add a splash of Chinese black vinegar or rice vinegar for a little acidity to mix that together take some hot oil vegetable oil avocado oil that gets poured directly on top it’s going to sizzle a lot be careful immediately stir that together do not burn yourself you have your chili oil you have your nudes these are the ramen noodles that were cooked the packet from the ramen noodles are in the chili oil you add your hot nudes to the chili oil you just gently toss that together you see how I’m like kind of like just letting it fall on itself if you vigorously mix this there’s a chance you cut up all the noodles noodles and you end up with soup they are delicate at this stage red glaze get yourself a bowl little green onion on top chili oil noodles I’ve had these before and I’m a big fan of them do they still live up yes immediately upon tasting this I don’t even think Ramen green onion and the garlic and the goou Garo and all the oil creating this chili oil transforms it a step away from the ramen and into a totally different category of itself which is a chili garlic oil noodle this is a solid 8.5 moving on popcorn with Ramen seasoning a little oil in the pan corn kernels in toss them bad boys to cat now from this stage it’s going to go high heat lid on and you’re just going to shake keep them moving and eventually at this stage I got ramen powder right here this is a mixture of both hackets from the shin black Ramen you can use any Ramen you want season the popcorn nicely close the lid give it another good oldfashioned Shake into a bowl popcorn can take a lot of salt don’t be shy this is ridiculous you could add whatever else you wanted to this but honestly if you want popcorn even more addicting than it already is ADD MSG Pack full of flavor Ramen packet of your choice you could even add some butter to this or clarified butter and it would be ridiculous 7.5 big fan moving on pesto Ramen we’re making a shiso pesto food processor garlic pine nuts shiso leaves but also Thai Basil little salt I’m adding flaky salt to help break it up Pulse once you’ve got like a rough sort of paste going on you’re then going to add handful of Bonito Flakes and olive oil blit that together we have cooked ramen noodles I have not added the packet of spice yet we’re going to utilize our ramen pack packs so you’re going to hit that with a little bit this is the shin black Ramen so I’m using both the shin black powder the white powder and the red powder two taste okay so add a little bit first and add more later if it needs it don’t add it all at once followed by our pesto then you’re just going to toss that together let it emulsify tell me that doesn’t look beautiful plate that up into a bowl little extra Ramen seasoning almost like the parmesano if you will some fresh Bonito Flakes and some fresh High basil Joy it’s vibrant green I smell the smokiness of the Bonito flakes the tender herb graciousness of the shiso that’s very nice I think this will be for some people and not for others you got to have a palette that enjoys shiso which is a very specific flavor it’s almost an it’s very fragrant it has herbaceousness to it but that anise quality is quite strong so if you don’t like that you won’t like this it doesn’t feel Italian Japanese Chinese but I love the complexity of flavor in here it’s smoky it’s salty it’s Umami it’s also quite delicate because of the shiso delicious I’ll give this a 7 out of 10 it’s not for everybody I like it moving on soup dumplings with Ramen so we got Shin black cook it according to package directions all of it once that’s done you got your boiling liquid turn your heat off then you’re going to whisk in powderized gelatin quite a bit actually and you might be thinking well why powderized gelatin what do you think it’s going to do it’s going to gelatinize it when it’s hot it’s liquid but when it’s cool it’s solid so once that is dissolved quarter sheet tray grease that lightly and then you’re going to pour your Ramen gelatin soup base no seasoning required spread your noodles out evenly chill in the fridge until completely set ideally overnight they’re solidified so we’re going to carefully remove these from our pan give it a little flip cut them into qu inch little logs and then again the other way 1/4 inch Cuts again you end up with little QB boys now all you’re going to do is stuff these in dumpling wrappers you can use homemade pre-made whatever you just need a good quality wrapper put a few of these guys in there have a little border of water around this guy so it’s seals shut and then crimp it closed now you could close this probably like a traditional pot sticker style dumpling you could just close the top like this you’re going to also do the Jong bow shape same thing start with a circular boy dab a generous amount of water on the border some gelatinized soup you’re going to start by folding and cradling this Edge over itself rotate keep going all the way around so you see how we’re going you’re essentially left with this pouch that has a hole at that point you just gather these edges up carefully bring these together and twist and pinch we got a steamer basket I got two other shapes I wanted to try so I’ll Place those on as well cover it with lid and steam around 10 minutes maybe 12 they’re done let’s taste we have soup dumplings made with Ramen give it a taste oh yeah I can’t believe that actually worked this is exactly what you think it would be like a soup dumpling perfectly cradling hot juicy instant Ramen whatever instant Ramen flavor you have in your head is exactly what’s on the inside you would think this would be too much noodle on noodle but it’s not I like that the outside is this sort of like thin dumpling texture but the inside you have a little bit more loose a little bit more tender ramen noodles so all in all I’m going to give these a solid standing seven these turned out great serve them with chili oil sering with a little Chinese black vinegar to and enjoy ramen burger can we just make a normal Burger I’ve actually never had one of these and I’ve never made one of these what does that tell you so first we’re going to make our Burger buns two packages of shin black Ramen into boiling water ramen noodles are cook drain them from their water into a bowl now you’ll season the noodles directly I would not recommend using both packages of the seasoning because there’s no water to diffuse the salt levels I have two packets here I’m adding like one and a/ qu packet we can always add more you can’t take away do that we’re going to add two eggs and using a glove I’m going to mix by hand you could also just do this with a spoon now we have two 3in molds that have been plastic wrapped you’re going to evenly distribute your ramen noodles between the two press them into mold a little bit of the egg will leak out that’s totally fine cover the tops with plastic wrap and get two weights these can be Soup cans these can be pip containers filled with water lightly press just let those stay weighed down in the fridge until solidified should take about 3 hours but ideally overnight we have hot oil here we have our ramen discs that we made there those in our oil this is what will become our bun now just let those shallow fry for about 2 to 3 minutes until round flip and repeat on the other side take it out of the pan ball see how it made that noise that’s good smash your patties down sear it for about a minute season with salt and pepper flip add your American cheese and let it melt little bit of mayo a little bit of mustard spread that around so they mix slightly some finely brunoa onion your first Patty on your seconds Petty and just Crown your king ramen burger welcome to hell just leave some things alone some things are just meant to be what they were supposed to be I love everything about this burger except for the Buns that I hate it leaves you Desiring exactly what it’s missing which is the bun I do think that this Ramen bun tastes good I just don’t want it it takes away too much from the Flavor of the burger that this just isn’t a burger anymore that said I do think you could potentially use these buns for something else like it might be really good with like spam like something really just kind of in your face salty something that might make sense with this texture just not so much a burger I don’t know I’d give it a 5 out of 10 cuz it tastes great I don’t know I’m not excited about it I wouldn’t make this again personally moving on this is a famous New York Times Ramen recipe that we found we got one Shin black Ramen cooking as normal it’s ready to go this is an interesting technique so I’m going to crack an egg into a container carefully not to break the yolk we’re going to cut the heat off and you make a little hole and you’re going to pour your egg into that and then you’re going to fold your noodles on top of that egg there’s no boiling left now let that sit for 1 minute should be a poached egg we’re going to pour this into our serving Bowl right gently our poached egg is hiding underneath to that you’re going to add a teaspoon of butter two slices of American cheese sesame seeds and then you mix it up garnish with a little green onion that is this New York Times Ramen I do like this recipe it’s got basic ingredients that go good in ramen so I’m sure it’s going to be tasty I do like it the egg I’m not really detecting that much but the cheese I am and it’s very American cheesy so if you don’t like the taste of American cheese you will not like this it’s salty it’s almost too salty but not quite I like it honestly I’ll give this a 7.5 very good super easy to make I think you guys would like making this one moving on instant pad tie this is really not instant to be honest with you but I did find these really cool fa instant ramen noodles and I thought huh you can make Pad tie out of that because it comes with rice noodles what we’re going to do before we even drop this padti sauce small bowl palm sugar Tamarind paste sweet soy fish sauce stir all that together thinly sliced chicken coat it lightly and just a touch of corn starch white pepper toss that together just a touch of soy sauce you can do this in a bowl Chet tray doesn’t really matter we got a walk we got boiling water into your walk coat with vegetable oil on high heat add in your chicken let that sear just until one side gets color once that’s done scrape that up and stir fry about another 2 to 3 minutes till cook through while that’s going you got boiling water I got four packets of my instant fa add in my noodles along with all the spice packets my chicken’s done take that off the heat I’m going to cut the heat on my nudes those are going to go into here in just a bit but first we’re going to get our pad tie rolling to this you’re going to add Shrimp Po that’s going to toast beautifully followed by shallot garlic and zakai add a touch of salt your fry now once that veg has softened up get your noodles I’m draining them slightly add that in stir fry push noodles to one side add oil to the other get that ripping hot and crack in three eggs using the eggs scramble them once those eggs are cooked down turn the heat down a little lower to that you’re going to add your chicken bean sprouts your sauce garlic chives and just toss it together now just plate her up some nice crushed peanut little squirt of fresh lime juice and a little extra cheek that’s pad’s High I mean straight up I know that we’re mixing and matching a bunch of really weird things here but this works this is delicious would I make this again absolutely clearly not a perfectly traditional pad tie but it’s got the salt levels that I want it’s got the Umami the funkiness from the fish sauce and the shrimp powder a little bit of acidity the tartness from The Tamarind the lime juice I mean this is fragrant it’s nice I think if you got this at a restaurant you be like wow this just really good it’s a little different but I like it I’m going to give this an8 out of 10 big fan wouldn’t make again just understand that it is a little more involved moving on stir fried nudes gosh what’s the difference between this and the fried rice version fried rice version was sort of a fried rice flavored noodle this is straight up S FR you can change the ingredients however you want swap out the vegetables add broccoli add snaap Peas I don’t care we’re using ribeye to kick this off so I’ve got some thinly sliced we’re going to sear that off first sear one side get a nice myard stir fry season with salt for Taste once it’s just cooked through set to the side little more oil to that we’re going to add sweet onion red Fresno chili ginger and garlic now instead of seasoning this with salt we’ve got a Ramen packets Shin black comes with two season with your Ramen seasoning to your heart’s desire don’t go too crazy at first you can add more later you can’t take it away surey that all this is cooking I’m going to cook my noodles all right once your noodles are done we’re going to drain them add them to the walk along with a little bit of mirin sweet soy your beef or chicken or pork or whatever the hell you added to it stir that is ready you can season this with additional Ramen seasoning to taste and now we plate and top that with a little bit of sliced green onion this is what the Tik Tock Ramen wanted to be even even without the steak taking the extra time to just cut some aromatics the chilies the onion and the ginger and stir fry them adds so much to this the Tik Tock Ramen had this idea in mind and just didn’t quite get there this is technique and this is wonderful it’s salty it’s got the Umami it’s little sweetness just imagine your favorite stir-fried noodle specifically more like an egg noodle you’re kind of getting that Vibe here but with the texture of instant ramen noodles you get a little bit of that instant Ramen flavor but it’s just a little bit of a note in the back it’s not overwhelming the whole flavor I like this a lot 7.5 out of 10 I would absolutely make this again and I would make this for guests very nice moving on budy jigay Korean army Stew one of my favorite stews of all time I have a recipe for this the link is in the description we’re starting with our base once it’s done you just drop them directly in Nestle them nicely in there get them submerged don’t stir it bring it up to a boil we have some seared off spam which is also going to get placed in there nicely a little bit of uh seared off sausage which I’ll put on the other side I love the metin of this stew and then the very last thing you’re going to add two slices of amican cheese and then just pop the lid on it let that cook just until the noodles are done which take anywhere between 3 to 6 minutes once that’s done you take your lid off where did the cheese go it became a part of the stew man so we’re going to top that with a little bit of fresh green onion but at this point I just serve this straight up it’s supposed to be easy it’s supposed to be quick it’s not about it looking like ridiculously beautiful it’s about it being ridiculously delicious and nutritious so you give this little stir just the stock alone is so good little tart from the kimchi it’s sweet it’s salty it’s Umami it’s a little spicy one of my favorite soups of all time for a reason I don’t think this is a showstopper dish this is like an easy to make institution of a meal you could sit down and eat this with a group of people feel satisfied not e anything afterwards and be ready to conquer the evening the day it doesn’t matter I’m going to give it a seven moving on okonomiyaki with instant Ramen we’re using the neoguri spicy Seafood Ramen which is cooking right here all I did was cook it according to package directions once those noodles are just barely cooked set those bad boys aside start making our okonomiyaki first our batter is going to consist of combination of potato allpurpose flour wh that together do that you’re going to add one whole legegg water you’re just going to whisk that together till you get a nice light batter from there we got all our mixins Julianne carrot kimchi obviously cabbage fresh thinly sliced green onion toss everything together we have our cooked ramen noodles a little bit of its juice fold all that together now we cook non-stick pan vegetable oil in this is heated over medium medium highish make sure this is all thoroughly Incorporated and then just pour that into your pan press that out try to fill out the pan evenly let him cook 2 to 3 minutes now once that’s congealed into one Mass it should move around the underside is a little bit Brown pour this out onto your plate and you’re going to carefully invert that you got a little bit of toasted sesame oil which we’re going to drizzle around the rim and Sear The Other Side another two to 3 minutes you’re going to add a little bit of okonomiyaki sauce followed by specifically koopy Mayo little green onion and Bonito flakes that’s okonomiyaki I like to cut it like a pizza oh I’ve been making a lot of ramen dishes today this by far is the most different most unique and most delicious tasting one I have had today easily this might be one of the best okonomiyaki I’ve ever made I love the texture of the ramen noodles in there crispy on the outside custardy on the inside nice chew from the noodles sweet salty tartness from the okonomiyaki sauce this is a 9.5 that is probably the best use I could think of for ramen noodles somehow this is the perfect marriage made in heaven but if you think it’s over you’re wrong we still have three more Ramen to go so can any of them top it moving on you know those crispy rice spicy tuna things you sometimes see like in those La restaurants we’re going to do that with Ramen so boiling water and four packs of shin black Ramen along with its packets once that is cooked and all of your noodles are looking nice drain them you’re going to need an eight sheet lined with plastic wrap taste your noodles if they’re not seasoned enough you can add an extra Ramen packet to this to season it to taste your Ramen it’s very hot it will burn add to your quarter sheet tray press that out from there you’re going to wrap that again in plastic wrap to flatten this invert it onto a larger sheet and then add Soup cans on top of this and just make sure it gets pressed down nice and firmly and set this in the fridge with weights overnight unwrap our little Masterpiece you’re just going to cut this into little rectangles I like to trim the edges you don’t have to but I’m going to cut it into thin rectangles like this and then split those rectangles into in half roughly before we fry these we need to First quickly make our spicy tuna Sashimi grade tuna this already came pre-sliced so what I’m going to do is I’m going to cut that into cubes it’s going to go into a bowl little bit of cuy mayo shacha little salt to taste and then fold together optionally you can also add a little fresh grated garlic now let’s fry oil 350 F our blocks of ramen in and Fry all right once that’s lightly brown and beginning to crisp on the outside drain on a wire rack we got got our tuna nice and tall like so fresh avocado little flaky little Sesame little Greeno now let’s try this way better than I anticipated got this sort of spicy creamy salty Tuna on top the creaminess of the avocado The Green Onion little burst of Sesame what really brings this together is that crispy base I’m surprised by how well this turned out because the outside of these little Ramen bricks is perfectly crisp and the inside is perfectly intact it’s not oily at all it’s a nice alente chewy well-cooked noodle I’m going to give this a 7.5 I’d be willing to open up the debate is this better than the crispy rice version in some cases it might be moving on cow soy this is a way to bring instant Ramen and cow soy together hot saier Pan Once the vegetable oil is hot chicken goes in season to taste with salt let that sear till Brown on one side 2 to 3 minutes let those continue to sear it just until cook through internal temperature 165 fah Brown chicky pieces nice and mayed up we got some chicken fat in the pan I’m going to try and keep that in there now we got all this fawned you can add a touch more oil if needed now on medium heat we’re going to add red curry paste little turmeric powder Gango garlic and shallot cook down your curry paste and your veg after about 30 seconds you got a nice fond it’s fragrant you’re going to add your chicken stock scrape the bottom get that fond off there and your coconut milk we’re going to add a little bit of sugar come up to a boil then you’re going to add the special component instant loxa Ramen packets it’s actually not Ramen but it’s instant loxa this brand big fan you’re going to use two packets worth of this you may only need to use one of the seasonings that choice is up to you add your chicken back in along with your noodles and just let them cook once that’s cooked at this point you can turn the heat down season it with a little fish sauce to taste and serve looks like Locka Curry smells like Locka Curry first let’s try the broth good God M that’s a 9.5 we got another 9.5 this is Bonkers requires a little more effort 1 million per worth it everything you could possibly want it’s like a combo of loxa a combo of cow soy put together Umami fragrant coconuty creamy sweet spicy Rich guaranteed I’m making this again this is incredibly good wow moving on number 25 I’m sure we’ve seen this before and I’ve always wanted to try it I’m not going to lie using Ramen to fix your drywall it’s stupid but we’re going to try it I’ve never even fixed drywall before what I’ve seen in videos is they just break it up I mean it is filling it up pretty good you know what else you could do just put drywall filler in there and foro the ramen all right that’s filled up we’re going to use our dry decks are spackle and just get that in there that’s going to hold that spackle in place how am I doing contractors who are watching this would you hire me don’t rush perfection Yep this is not working great I can see the ramen peeking through I’m never doing this again so we have our 25 but what were the top five that were worth it got the answers right here buddy kimchi pancake and the instant caloy came in at a tie both 9.5 that might very well be the highest rating we’ve ever given anything they were remarkably good and I think you should all make them but what about the other three out of the five mac and cheese Ramen came in at 9.2 Ramen carbonara at 9 and my instant Ramen out of nine which is biased so maybe you can replace it with one of the other ones if you want I don’t know look the learn lesson is there are infinite ways to use Ramen really right technically could grind into a flour and make bread but is that really the practical way any noodle dish any soup dish could be instantized or made better or made quickly because of the power of the instant Ramen packet you have the power you can do this I believe in you
