    There's something about the quietness of this video and a lot of your videos. The feeling of a quiet, slow and peaceful British evening; the sun laying lowly through your glass with night time creeping up.. It's almost tangible. Like being a young boy at the grandparents house on a Sunday evening. It's a nice homely thing you procure in your videos. Thank you.

    Hi Shrimp!
    Let me give you my recipe to try with either Shin Ramyun or Shin Ramyun Black (the latter I was eating all the time in Netherlands, they are not available in Poland though, so I get regular one). I had the meal numerous times and it is my favourite lunch for days when I have nothing else available.
    Ingredients:
    - half an onion
    - teaspoon of sugar
    - one egg
    - some butter (enough to fry the onion),
    - 1 Shin Ramyun.
    1. Slice half of green or regular onion and fry it up with a bit of butter. Add a teaspoon of sugar and let the mixture get brown. Give sugar some time to carmelize.
    2. As on the package, add 550 ml of water, preferably boiled in kettle. It is important to add the exact amount, so measure it. I often would add closer to 600ml and find the soup to be a little less savoury. The difference is noticeable. Add all the powdered seasonings from the Shin Ramyun package.
    3. Once water boils, lower the gas, add the noodles and cook under the lid for more or less 3,5 minutes.
    4. Break one egg into the soup and set the timer to 1,5 - 2 minutes. If water stops boiling after egg is added, make the fire stronger for 5-10 seconds.
    5. Once the timer goes off, put the contents into the bowl. If you want to eat it the way it's meant to be, get ramen spoon and chopsticks :)
    To sum up, with only butter, onion, egg, sugar and package of Shin Ramyun you get a dish that continues to impress my guests every time I serve it to them.
    Recently I have been experimenting with replacing water with chicken stock, cube based chicken stock or even tomato soup (from chicken stock and tomato concentrate, without cream). All these versions make the soup even heavier and more filling. There is a lot of room for experimentation!
    Hope you see my comment and are tempted enough to try the recipe! The simplicity is the best part of it (I even make it sometimes at the office).

    Hi, Thanks for still doing a video while being poorly. I wish I could identify the garlic leaves I wouldn't mind trying that. Thanks. ☺

    • @AtomicShrimp
      @AtomicShrimp  6 лет назад +5

      The easiest ways to identify Ramsons are either: crush the leaves and smell them (unmistakable strong garlic/onion aroma), or wait for the plant to flower - the blooms are very distinctive. I will do a separate video on safe identification of wild garlic soon.

    • @JulieWallis1963
      @JulieWallis1963 4 года назад +3

      deb b my husband and I were walking in the woodland on Monday, we could tell when we were close to wild garlic because it’s smells strongly of garlic.
      They are all in flower now so even easier to identify.

  • @lloydevans2900
    @lloydevans2900 3 года назад +3

    I make sloe gin too, but I never actually take the sloes out of it - they always get left in the bottle for the flavour to just keep getting stronger. I have found that even if you leave them in there for years, they don't disintegrate, so provided you don't mind getting a few into your glass when you pour some out, it doesn't matter too much.
    I also do the same recipe (fruit, sugar, alcohol) with some other fruits: It works well with cranberries, either fresh (which you find in shops near christmas time) or just as well with dried cranberries, which you can get any time of year. I have also done the same with dried apricots, which works amazingly well, and dried morello cherries, which makes a fantastic flavoured liqueur.

    I hope you recovered quickly. Thanks for sharing your tips, too.
    I know that I've had sinus and throat issues in the past that I've treated in similar ways. The spicy food, as long as it's not so spicy as to make you cough, helps cut through the sinuses and in some way soothes things a bit. My best guess is they partially overload your senses for the affected areas and cut down on some of the awfulness. I've found hard liquor, taken carefully, has a similar effect by stimulating nerves and leaving a pleasant taste. Plus, well, you don't mind so much afterwards, if only a little. The latter has gotten me some bad looks for suggesting in the past, but I know it works for me. I'm sure the type of both liquor and spicy foods is very variable between people.

    • @AtomicShrimp
      @AtomicShrimp  5 лет назад +3

      I think you're definitely right about the sensory overload - probably triggers release of endorphins in the brain, which will make you feel better.
      For me, anything spicy also just loosens up the sinuses, which just seems to assist in expelling all the nastiness of a cold

    • @PriyaPans
      @PriyaPans 4 года назад +3

      I agree - I always have a hot lemon (hot water, lemon, honey), and sometimes with whiskey in.
      When I was younger (not too young, in my late teens) my dad would pour whiskey into a ladle with a cardamom pod and flambe it over the hob, for me to sip while still rather hot when I was sniffley. He sometimes excluded the cardamom pod from the ladle and told me to have the hot whiskey and then to leave the cardamom pod in my mouth for a while seperately afterwards.

    • @bartiz12
      @bartiz12 4 года назад +3

      I love this feeling when I eat some spicy noodles - my mind clears up, I stop being sleepy / distracted / somewhere else (which I am 90% of the time) and your sinuses suddenly clear up. The downside is, for the first 2 minutes, upon sudden emergence of spice I always get hiccups!

It's great with some grilled, sliced steak or chicken thrown in at the last minute.

      When I was in Zwolle, Netherlands - there was this one Asian Market that had an entire, 20 meter alley filled with only Instant Soups. It was heavenly. On my first trip there I picked up 20 packages of Ramen, each one was from different brand / flavour. Even when I only used the boiling water back then for preparation, Shin Ramyun would turn out the best IMO.
      There was also a bottle of Sake I picked up, out of curiosity. Even though I lived in student housing and took part in numerous parties, for half a year, the sake was untouched. Nobody liked it even during parties! It turned out to be a nice cooking ingredient though!

Here in USA, that would be about the most "bubba" thing to do. You would be ostracised , and run out of polite (firearms) company. BUT, Americans, and especially American firearms culture is supposed to be so uncouth. That's why 1776.
