How To Make Saimin - Hawaii's Ramen Noodle Soup
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 ноя 2019
- Chef Sheldon Simeon shares a comfort food from his home state of Hawaii: saimin noodle soup. Somewhat similar to ramen, Sheldon explains how this dish, found only in Hawaii, is the product of multiple ethnic cuisines.
Sheldon starts with a pressure-cooked broth made from chicken and pork and adds a variety of Japanese ingredients, like kombu (dried kelp), dried shiitake mushrooms, dried shrimp, plus garlic, ginger, carrots, and leeks, for flavor. Next, Sheldon marinates and preps some beef for barbecue skewers that traditionally accompany saimin. Finally, Sheldon boils instant ramen noodles and assembles the saimin with green onions and kamaboko (cured fish cake) for garnish and Chinese hot mustard on the side.

This dude seems like such a genuine and calming host, imma need to see more of him on munchies.
imma
That’s the Hawaii vibes. I know because I’m from there :)
He has a show on Eater a while back. You can find it on RUclips. It's called Cooking in America
This literally how we all be in hawaii
Masao2k
I feel that. I’m from san diego, and us mexicans fuck with fillipinos, hawwaiins, and a lot of food that catches that vibe. Hell yeah.
"Never figured it out when I was a kid. Thought I was illiterate". HAHAHHA
"Ramen is trendy, Saimin is for life."
Same shit, different name.
Dumb-ass.
I'll take the ramen
@@nishbrown no, dumb ass it's not the same.
@@theespeedcow808 dumbass did you see the video ,even the cook said "it's the hawain way of ramen "
ultra Guy and you spelled Hawaiian wrong, dipshit incel
What’s cool about Sheldon is he’s so proud of being from Hawaii. I was the same way growing up only knowing top ramen as package saimin. We also called edamame just soy beans growing up and the person who taught me that Japanese word was a white guy in college. I’m ethnically Japanese 😅
Don't be to hard on yourself on not using Japanese terms. Japanese cuisine gets a free pass in having its techniques, dishes, and ingredients untranslated in English conversation. Unlike Chinese cuisine, which is clumsily translated into English.
People know ramen, but not lamian. They know wasabi, but not huajiao. They know gyoza, but not jiaozi.
All hawaiians are super proud to be in hawaii, love going there, love the people and love everything about hawaii.
Dude love your channel. Was watching the tonkatsu ramen episode just yesterday.
Chauffeur thanks very much!
I could never understand why my cousin in Hawaii kept saying shoyu even though we are ethnically Chinese.
This guy is legit and real. No bullshit and knows his stuff.
@Silver Chopsticks wtf you bs'n about it's Hawaiian version which is an amalgamation of all those influences including both Japanese and Chinese. They just go by the Chinese name. Do yourself and everyone else around you a favour and get over yourself.
@Silver Chopsticks he also explains the noodles are different if you actually go to a house but he grew up using the instant ramen noodles, troll
Silver Chopsticks lol did you watch the entire video? It’s his take on it.
know's how to give y'all heart cancer with the amount of sugar he's telling you to use

It may be a bit challenging for you.
But
Do try to pay attention shall we.
This guy needs a show hitting up all eat spots on the islands. Would make a good show.
Yes omg
You need to be producing shows or something cause I would definitely watch that
This idea is genius, and would be a tourist boom for the lesser known spots
Nope no need share the local spots with mainlanders. Bad enough mainlanders take all the best beach spots and leave their opala behind when the leave.
@@zmystere5241 Too true!!
If anyone's curious about the knife. Its handle is made from recycled skateboards. It's made by a Filipino brand called Nacionale Bladeworks! 🇵🇭
Thanks for the info. Do you know where I can possibly buy it?
Oh dang that's cool
Proud to be Filipino!! 🇵🇭
@The Predator cringe
@@danielcr4052 true.. what a loser
I'm from hawaii and when he said "we call it saimin and yet the packet sayis 'top ramen' " got me dead laughing. TRUE FACTS -hawaii problems lol
Ire.... Saimin is not Ramen.... This dude is not clear on the concept of various types of noodles... as a matter of fact...saimin is Chinese and ramen is Japanese.... Then again, ... they make sushi out of Spam....lol... 🤣
@@jaaron2834 don't be an asshole dude. Culture is never that simple and in a place like Hawaii where cultures and ethnicities mix, intersect, and interact your Wikipedia level, one-note knowledge just comes off as ignorant. Also nobody here calls spam musubi sushi, maybe YOU should get your terminology straight before you run your mouth???
@@realityisDEAD98 white knight alert!!!
I swear some people. If they not from Hawaii they will never understand. “If can, can. If no can, no can”.
In Samoa 🇼🇸 where I'm from we call it Saimin too. No one says noodles lol
Such an informative, soft spoken, sincere individual. Such a great ambassador for Hawaiians and Filipinos everywhere!
I got to admit, when I saw the packaged ramen noodles, I instantly was like "oh how is this going to be different" and I was pleasantly surprised.
I love this guy's spirit. Would love to eat at his restaurant. 🤤
Such great character! Seems like a nice dude!
eyyy thats how its always been in hawaii
-random local
If from where he lives his restaurant tin roof is FIREEEE
It's a nice small spot near the airport on maui really good food.
This guy is so chilled. I just wanna be his friend
I can’t put in to words how much i loved the super random Camron reference. Too good. Great video
For real the idea of killa cam making kamaboko fucking killed me
Came here looking for a comment about it 😂 😂 😂
I was wondering how many of them behind the camera got the reference.
omg I wish they flashed a pic of Camron in all his pink fur
At that moment I said you earned your like
just fyi! when you go to saimin spots in Hawaii they use fresh noodles :)
I love how he showed it with he packaged noodles tho...more typical for the average household here.
I grew up eating this stuff everyday.
0:48 "I eat saiman every morning. I didnt even know what cereal was growing up." 😲
*saimin
You are on all of these dude.
Probably because a gallon milk is like $8 over there
@@kyleefaren3075 yeah if it is that much I'd be cooking noodles too. Luckily my little one would love Saimin
@@kyleefaren3075 actually its usually $5-6 depending at the store
I see Saimin...I click. I hear the Hawaiian accent. I stay. Nuff said. Aloha and Enjoy the video, cuhh.
A KING hawaiian accent ??? Ok lol he’s Filipino brah
You mean pidgin english?
@@raymondkailiawa7774 obviously, to everyone else we have an accent ! No matter if they're Filipino or samoan or hawaiian, when we born and raised Hawai'i, we have an accent !
Tehya Kamalii yea called pidgin lol
@@raymondkailiawa7774 duh ik what its called but you didn't say any of that LOL you said he's "Filipino" like that has anything to do with our language/accent 🤔😂
Back in the 1970's when I lived and worked in Hawaii, I was surprised this was on McDonald's menu. Along with Portuguese sausage, eggs, and rice for breakfast. But my favorite fast food out there was Zippy's Zip Pac. A piece of fried chicken, a piece of fried fish, some teriyaki beef, and what my local friends called a Samoan steak (Spam) - served on a bed of rice. It's hard to believe it's been over 40 years since I lived there. But if this Kama'aina ever gets back, my first stop will be Zippy's.
Zippy's in LV, +2years or so...
🤙
McDonald's Local Deluxe Breakfast is LEGENDARY! Don't forget the shoyu and ketchup...that's how, brah 🤙
Hawaii has some of the sweetest people like look at this guy seems like such a kind soul!
Would love to see more of Sheldon! Great chef, great host, love his personality, nuff said.
Bro every time I see some Hawaiian they’re always so chill and cool and sweet and wholesome omg... and I’m a dude but every Hawaiian dude I’ve seen is just a perfect dad or husband.
Man they have something else we don’t ...
I know what you mean. Theres a certain mellowness and patience to them.
STFU
Nice that he gave a shout out to Hamaura’s Saimin at the end. Best saimin in all my life, Chee pono cuz!
I'd like to see more of Sheldon Simeon, he seems like the most genuine dude. Someone I'd get a beer with and listen to his stories. I'm definitely making this recipe soon!
Visited about 3 weeks ago in Oahu. Everyone is basically like this dude. So chill and humble and welcoming. I love the people out there.
Take me to Shiros in Pearl City. Didn't get back until 19 years after we moved off the island. Brought tears to my eyes, number 99 with extra bbq park.
Saw him at Tinroof in Maui. He just a regular chill dude handing out orders.
What were you expecting dude? Haha
when the Haoles get surprised by the Aloha spirit "he's so genuine"❤️😂🤙
what
Sheldon is the GOAT, and I'm so glad he always represents HI and our food with such pride.
"I thought I was illiterate for a long time..." 😂😂😂
i love hawaii and hawaiian people so much!
Hawaiian food is some of the best and most underrated food. The main thing I miss about living there, for sure.
Watching this while eating my saimin fried spam and eggs
hawaiians have a real chill vibe
I transferred school there for college from the East Coast a while ago. Immediately, I realized I walked too fast when going to class. Everyone was strolling along and I was doing the East Coast speed walk. Never really adjusted to the pace there and settled on the compromise of West Coast. Happy medium between East Coast and Hawaii.
He’s not Hawaiian, he’s Filipino.
Urban Decay yeah but he was born in Hawaii
Kevin Gualberto I live in Hawaii. There’s 2 types of ppl. Hawaiians and locals. Sheldon is a local. Not Hawaiian. Just like me.
Kevin Gualberto being Hawaiian is different from being born/living there. It’s not the same as a person born in Texas being a Texan, because being Hawaiian is an actual ethnicity, it won’t show “Texan” on somebodies birth certificate just because they were born in Texas, and it doesn’t show “Hawaiian” because they were born in Hawai’i.
You represent Hawaii so well! Happy for you, hope to see more shows in the future. "Ramen is trendy...Saimin is for life" CheeeeeeePono to that!
Gotta start a food truck called "Saimin Says". The motto? "Simeon says to eat at Saimin Says!"
He is so zen, wow just watching him and listening brings me a chill vibe. He's a guru in his own rite.
Da kine ono grinds right here cuz, saimin for life
I really enjoyed this. Sheldon is SO chill.
Haven't been to Hawaii in like 20 years, but, when I was last there, one of my favorite things to do was hit up Zippys and place an order consisting of saimin, chilli and rice, and a fruit punch. I can only hope and pray that Zippys is still around, so others can taste the amazing flavors of that meal.
Zippy's now in LV, +2years or so...
They aint going nowhere brudda dont worry lmao, zippys is here to stay for a LONG time
Liar no zippys in Vegas
Thank you! I lived on Oahu in the mid 60s as a military brat and have craved this dish ever since. Ramen does NOT compare!
My fondest memories growing up, was running home after school eat a bowl of siamin and watching Checkers and Pogo.
Yeeeeeeesssss!!!! My man is back making noodles. I love this guy so much.
Yessuh baby thank ahh for show the haoles how for make some saimin shoots 🤙
Just watching all these different episodes of people cooking shows me how beautiful food really is. And I never use that word.
Grew up always calling Top Ramen Saimin. We didn't live in Hawaii, but my dad is Hawaiian and that's what he called it. I felt so weird when my friends didn't know what I was talking about. Totally vindicated when we ended up visiting Maui a few years ago and saimin was everywhere.
the word "saimin" itself is from cantonese 細麵 (sai min). the word "ramen" is from japanese ラーメン (rāmen), which itself is from mandarin 拉面 (lāmiàn)
My Grandma always called noodle soup (Top Ramen) Saimin. Lol, i never knew it was a Hawiian. When I'd spend my weekends at my grandparents house she would always make saimin for breakfast for me and my sister. RIP Grandma
Lone Wolf “Saimin” is Hawaiian, more like pidgin I would say
@@thaliaisomura3007 the word "saimin" itself is from cantonese 細麵 (sai min). the word "ramen" is from japanese ラーメン (rāmen), which itself is from mandarin 拉面 (lāmiàn)
Kama'aina living on the mainland...now I'm craving saimin so badly!
Same 🤙
Me too. Need some extra charsiu on mine
This cat is really chill and humble and really skillful...Gusto ko talagang subukan ang kanyang pagluluto!
Thank you chef Sheldon Simeon for keeping it simple and calm.
The camron line solidified me as a fan lol
My name is Simon and that’s why I was interested in this video 😂
My Hawaiian neighbor growing up would always make this for us for lunch! Nostalgic😋💕!
sheldon is such a delight to watch and listen to
Miss seeing Sheldon, wonderful chef, would love to eat one of his restaurants!
I've never seen a recipe that made me miss a place as much as this one. Bravo.
Such a chill personality. Love it. Can’t wait to go to Hawaii one day and try it🤍
I love this dude. Such a happy, gentle soul
love whenever there's a lot of leeks and spring onions being chopped, my favorite ingredient
i'd like to try this out!
What a nice guy ☺️
Im so proud of this guy! Never be afraid of your heritage..🍻
This guy's awesome, love his energy and the food looks great
My mom still has the habit calling almost every asian noodle soup saimin since moving to the mainland.
Lol me too when I first moved to the mainland in my own, I had to learn only to use that term at Hawaiian eateries because no one knows what Saimin is.
Why change be yourself and if you got to explain then let’s tell a story Hawaiian 🌺 style. “Das How I Tok” 🤙🏽
"Was Cam'ron around when fish cake was invented?"
jajajaja
Lived on Oahu for a short time many years ago.
The food , the phrases, the way of living never leaves the heart.
There are so many beautiful people and cultures in our world! Thank you for sharing!
I had siamin in Hilo on a cold rainy day. Was perfect after exploring the volcano park and being outside all day. Good stuff!!
I worked at a Hawaiian place in London, and watching these videos is so infuriating because the real deal looks sooooo much better than the dry crap we push.
he's using instant noodles in this one
It’s cuz you’re in London my guy.
P3rformula so what? Oh god if used some pearls of Chinese egg noodles, or a pack of soba it’s somehow better? Noodles are noodles my dude. They’re either homemade or they’re dried and in a flavorful broth like that it really doesn’t matter that much.
P3rformula
So what?
@@Socktupus I agree this doesn't matter that much, but in many cases noodles do matter, and he did mention real fresh egg noodles are more traditional.
i love listening to him speak, it reminds me of my papa :) and the way he speaks about Hawai'i makes my heart so happy
Lived on Oahu for six months a long, long time ago. Once a week we’d go to Palace Saimin for dinner. Lots of little old ladies in the kitchen, order at a small window, get your cold drinks from a couple coke machines, sit at picnic tables with other folks. A couple orders of beef saté to go with the noodles. Christ, that stuff was delicious. Comfort food, Hawaiian soul food. I sure miss that.
Sheldon has a voice that can cure anxiety, and he's the first chef who has explained what the significance of alkaline noodles in Ramen.
love this guy a legend , from uk
Chef Sheldon was awesome in this video. Loved it and thank you.
I made this for hubby tonight and it was awesome. It brought back memories of when we met and dates to Zippy’s. I miss the Islands so much
My first bowl of Saimin was at Zippys Makiki and it was a lighting bolt! Such deliciousness!
This guy is awesome. More of this guy munchies
I miss the islands terribly when I watch these. The food is filling, delicious and inexpensive!
Thankss for this Chef Simeon… Looks very delicious. Shall try it. I reckon my family is going to enjoy it much.
growing up in Hawaii dishes like this was more common than typical American breakfast, eating Cereal in the morning was more for the privileged kids... those rich faka's.
Sheldon picked beef skewers as his meat w/ saimin and how it was prepared...I'm over here like.... Ah to lazy for that, I think SPAM will do just fine.
silent RIOT you had me at fakas
The spam sound good then add egg too!
@@BL00DS5 Yes, spam and egg are a great combination. Not even from Hawaii, just love spam and eggs.
Ah yes i hate it when food becomes more easy to prepare as i have my 10 hour workshift in 6 am
American breakfast is garbage tbh
Saw Sheldon on a show with Gordon Ramsey. Dude was mad chill and a fire chef
i was born in maui, only lived there till i was 10 years. loved it. miss it.
I love Chef Sheldon!
Saimin says, "Delicious!"
Ramen noodles!!! I ate 5 days a week when in college. You think I would be tired of it... but nooooo. Cook With soup, cook without soup, eat it dry without cooking, stir fry, deep fry, making dessert out of it, making salad out of it... Just can’t get enough of it!!! 👍👍👍👍👍😍😍😍😍😍😍
So happy to have found this recipe! The moment he mentioned my stomping ground, Palace Saimin, I knew I'd be pleased. Mahalo Sheldon!
Yeah this cooking vibes, i loved
Darn this dude makes a hell of a bowl of oddles n noddles lol
cuz we polynesians eat a lot
Hamura Saimin is hands down one of the best places in the world for noodles.
Mitchell Grigerek or like Japan but ok
Not really, pretty basic stuff, and noodles are overcooked and soggy all the time...cool environment though
was lucky enough to have Chef Sheldon's saimin at Tin Roof Cafe. Best meal I had in Hawaii. Delicious.
Been eating saimin my whole entire life, but never seen it made this way.. i enjoy your vids or watching you on some cooking channel on TV.. you’re doing a great job 👍🏼
Saimin says, make this soup!
Everytime I see Sheldon I keep thinking “oh wow, Alvin Cailan lost weight” 😂
Let's make it pink baby!!! I love how fun he makes cooking.
I must try this on my channel. Looks delicious. Thank you for sharing.
He’s so cute and real.
Saimin is da one my brada. Never knew what Ramen was growing up, it was always Saimin lol. Drop one egg while the broth is hot, winnahz
I loved him on top chef! Hes such a chill dude
I love his energy
Chicken, pork, fish, and beef all in one dish
There is a Puerto Rican influence in Hawaiian cuisine?!? I must find these dishes!
Christen Solomon It’s actually not Hawaiian cuisine but what we call local food in Hawaii. There’s a very important distinction between the two. Local food is what organically happened as a result of our vast multi ethnicity. That’s why it’s extremely normal for one person to be 8 different ethnicities here.
@Christen Solomon you wouldn't believe how much Puerto Rican cooking in Hawaii. I'm pure Puerto Rican born and raised in Hawai'i. My great grandparents worked in the plantation in Hawaii. Growing up we ate alot of mix culture foods like Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, Korean, Puerto Rican etc... Food on the daily. Living in Hawaii taught me how to cook so many different cultures recipes. But there alot of Puerto Rican living in Hawaii
Yeah, growing up in Hawaii, you almost take it for granted how multicultural our food tastes are in the islands. Everything from Polynesian to Asian (Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, etc), European, or Latino.
All that's missing is some African cuisines like good Ethiopian flatbread and seasoned meats.
The only Puerto Rican food people in Hawai'i know about is pastele that's it.
@@huh8620 Yeah you right. But there's many different Puerto Rican foods like stews, Donut's, salads, my mom made when I was a kid and still today she makes. Hawaii gotta step out and try the different foods that Puerto Rican make. Not only pasteles and gondule rice....
I love how he walks us through the meal.
More Sheldon please! This dude is such a chiller
