Hey chefs and every one else reading this ! Just FYI : if you take your every day baking soda in powder form and put it in an oven tray > 210°F (98°C) for an hour, but you'll lose about 37% in mass of your product (it's a good way to know it worked) of soda ash (sodium carbonate). This blows things out of the water in cooking, especially asian style cooking or to mix in your noodle dough. Thinly sliced beef, pork, (less slightly thin) chicken, etc ? About half a teaspoon per pound of the stuff in your meat, let it does its magic for 30 minutes, rinse it off in cold water (it changes taste otherwise), drain / pat dry .. and you'll get insanely tender yet bouncy meat pieces. Marinate with soy sauce, grated ginger, whatever you want + a good spoonful of starch (rice or corn), heat a wok or a large skillet with a neutral oil like peanut oil, crushed garlic in, then the meat, you'll have your base meat for any sauce mix you want.
Based off my understanding of 11:25 , you don't cook noodles with the broth because the goal is to have a "clean" broth and adding noodles early will cloud the broth.
One trick I was taught when making soy sauce eggs (or even pickled eggs) is to put a layer of paper towels over the top of the eggs. They will normally float, and you'll get a bald spot that the soy sauce couldn't get to. Putting the paper towel over the top, will absorb the sauce, and disburse it on top of the egg, making a more uniform "Staining" look.
Also choose the right container. When the chef put the eggs in such a wide bowl, the marinade had to spread wide. If put in a tall, narrow container, he probably could have gotten the eggs covered with even less sauce. An example I often use when pickling eggs is the jars that marinated artichokes or peppers or other pickled veggies often come in -- tall, narrow cylinder maybe 10 inches high(I'm not a good judge of that).
@@user-ps1ft1hy4j That's where I keep messing up. I can't "Eyeball" my liquid volume vs mass of food. Any tips on how to "Judge" liquid vs mass of food?
@@briancoleman9330 Honestly I just do what I can from experience but my experience is not some recipe for perfection, so I make what seems to me a reasonable amount of marinade for the tall sorta-thin jar at hand if I'm just doing not-that-many eggs, with maybe a little extra that I can always freeze for the next marinade if I have to. Also, I keep in mind that I can always top up a shortage of liquid by adding more vinegar, soy, seasonings, etc, to keep the level high enough to submerge. It may make the marinade a little different every time, but there's no perfection in this world and if the ingredients are what I like, I'm not going to go too disastrously wrong when things vary from time to time. Also, sometimes you can decrease the amount of marinade you need simply by cramming in an extra egg. That makes the liquid level rise so much that sometimes everything is now submerged. I just try to keep in mind not to touch the lid with the liquid, because that can cause reactions. And of course to keep my hands extremely clean to avoid eventual biologicals creating a raft of toxic yuck on top.
Note to self: Don't order soft or hard boiled eggs at Gordan Ransey restaurants. I'm not a purist or anything but when it comes to culturally significant dishes, try to, at least, stay close to the roots. When he started putting the seaweed in, all I could think about was that Jamie Oliver spinach ball when he made ramen (Uncle Roger killed it on that one).
Yeah that round compacted brick of spinach was a bizarre idea that looked in no way appetizing. Uncle Roger did indeed give Oliver a well-deserved beating on that video.
Hi Brian, it's super common in japanese cooking to make a dashi using the water from the rehydration process when rehydrating dried mushrooms. I make my dashi out of bonito flakes, rehydrated mushrooms, kombu, and dried shrimp. Also, Gordon must have remembered somewhere that you make dashi with mushrooms and seaweed, but didn't realize nori and kombu aren't the same.....
Nothing wrong with what Gordan does since Ramen can be eaten without cooking it but if he serves that at his restaurant, everyone is gonna dislike it. I suggest for Gordan to serve his Ramen at The super Ghetto Schools because I can tell you. What he placed in there is the healthy version of what Hawaii's Ghetto Schools serves for Ramen. And people spit in the School Ramen 😅
@@bloodyfitnerd1947 vegetarians don't eat eggs. The only animal product vegetarians do is dairy based. At least that's how it is in south Asia. And if you eat eggs, it's non veg
@@piyusarkar3065 Eggs are by definition vegetarian, unless they are fertilized. Unfertilized eggs are an animal by-product, and chickens produce them all the time. They don't need to do anything with them.
On using the noodle water to thicken the stock: So from what I know, with Japanese ramen broth, some styles look for a pure, clear flavor, and having the noodle water would potentially affect the flavor of the broth, either weakening or "muddy" the flavor profile. They are really particular about it - they teach that you need to dry your noodles that you boil properly by shaking it in the spider, so that the water on noodle wouldn't affect the broth, even. I personally can't tell the difference, though, hahaha edit: there are other styles of ramen that would have the broth be much thicker or "muddier", so I can't say if this applies for all styles of ramen
A lot of vegetarian ramen recipes use the rehydrated shiitake mushrooms and kombu in water as part of the tare. You should strain it after, but it’s not dirt water.
Always a treat to get both our favorite comical cooks to review recipes and disasters (my god gordon stop cooking....). In french "taré" is slang for someone that is crazy/insane. Definitly not to be mixed up with "Tare" the umami bomb that is added in ramen broth base to make a ramen of the specified taste, like shoyu (soy sauce) being the most common, miso, shio (dashi based (bonito, fish flake)), etc....
I think the biggest thing with Gordon's noodle is, it wasn't ramen. The dish should have been a ramen, inspired (or inspired by) vegetarian noodle dish. I take packaged ramen, cook it per the instructions and then dress it up, if I want to.
Happy Father's Day Brian and Frenchie!! Thank you for your reactions to both these Ramen videos. So glad you both got to enjoy real Ramen at the end. Hope you both have a great day and week!!!
I remember seeing an interview of Gordon and his family. When her wife was asked something like "is there anything you don't like about Gordon's cooking?", she said "the cleaning up"😂
Chefs can be brutal on the clean-up they impose on staff! So for that matter can ANYONE be who never has to think about the clean-up afterwards. They're far more likely to leave the kitchen looking like a bomb went off.
Honestly one of my favorite dishes is a baked broccoli & cauliflower. About equal parts of each, mixed with about a cup of cheddar, a can of mushroom or chicken cream soup, bake it and finish with some crispy topping. Im going from memory, but i swear it's delicious.
so happy I found your channel Brian. Been watching the series with Frenchy for few days now. So good, also, usually you are just pretty chill. But, in this I felt how you wanted to sleep. Hope you aight.
"No its not a family dish, the point is you get your own God damn bowl!!" 😂😂😂. New t shirt idea, a picture of Frenchie that says "FRENCHIE DOESN'T SHARE GOOD!!"
Y'all didn't drink the broth at the end?! I demand satisfaction, choose your weapon! I know it's 7000% of your daily recommended value of salt, bone marrow, and depending on the recipe a lot of times, butter, but damn it, you do it for the culture!
When Gordon added the miso paste to the water, he's just basically making miso soup, all he needs to do is just add the tofu and sprinkle some green onions just before serving.
The way I YELPED when Gordon put the miso in, my dog thought I had hurt myself and came to check on me. 😂 Also: if anyone on his shows gave him that horrible unseasoned cauliflower, he would SKIN THEM ALIVE. 😂
Another idea for a T-shirt: Front: "He got the egg right." Frenchie Back: "But it's not even marinated." Chef Brian P.S.: Is he trying to outdo Jamie Oliver's egg fried rice?
That egg-noodle is going to overcooked to hell, in boiling water those noodle will be ready in like 60-90s max depend on how soft you want it to be, even from dry stage
Frenchie started on the channel complaining when you were explaining stuff, now (at least when he wants to) he's asking questions for you to have a reason explain things.
You should use the water from rehydrating the dried shiitake, its pretty common in Cantonese Cooking as the water is super flavorful. Just rinse the mushrooms off first before rehydrating then it won't be dirty lol.
You're the first person I've heard say to dump the shitake water. Every single video I've seen and I've watched thousands from Chinese Cooking Demystified to Kenji to Chinese chefs back home always keep and use that water and they stress on not dumping it.
It's actually amazing the amount of British chefs that fuck up their "ramen" by using the wrong noodles. And yes Gordon over complicates things, it's almost as if he's compelled to because he can't make a simple dish for tv. Just like Jamie Oliveoil.
nah gordon is the GOAT. crashed his bike a few days ago, got badly hurt bruise. And that mofo is now back in pain in uniform in one of his kitchens working doing his damn job.
He has a bunch of these 10 minute meals , and for anything that is Italian or Asian or any kind of non English speaking countries food, they are all odd. Nothing is traditional. He has a Steak, Fried rice and Fried Eggs one "Gordon Ramsay Cooks up Steak, Fried rice and Fried Eggs in Under 10 Minutes"
Didn`t he actually make a damn good sushi once?I swear I remember on one of his shows he was creating sushi and reacting to the prep of fugu. I might be wrong though.
@@wolfetteplays8894 theres a 2 minute video on Gordon's page of him learning to make sushi. But "Gordon Ramsay: How To Fail With Sushi" is a longer version of the same video at about 4 minutes
My goodness, the look on y'all's faces(and mine) when Gordon put the spring onions in the boiling water😂 this was the weirdest looking not ramen ever- I'm gonna go make a pre made packet now 🤣
Gordan just made a cubano sandwich with no ham and non pressed bread... he started so well too.. and had lots of crackling (pork skin) that he didn't use; meat to veg ratio was wtf...(Wendy's ole lady "wheres the meats"
I forget which Jamie Oliver video it was that Uncle Roger (or it might have been someone else) reacted to but Jamie was making a dish (I think it was Pad Thai) and then the Uncle Roger showed a clip of Gordon Ramsey making the same dish for a chef who was well known for it. The chef took one look at the dish, turned to Gordon and said it was wrong, Gordon was shocked.
Soft boiled eggs spring onion and sesame seeds maybe a little sesame oil added to instant ramen is a great veggie ramen once in a while. Way better than this and so quick and easy and gets the protein with the eggs too.
🤦🤦😂😂😂 For the longest time I thought the drawing behind Chef Tsao was just some random seventies style grandma!!! And even now that I see that it's him I can't unsee the grandma!!
He should take that pool of dirt water, gunk and seaweed and sell it in one of his restaurants if he likes it so much. He could even name it Tamesis Soup, and even convince his customers he is actually serving them a bit of liquid dump from his homeland.
The one thing i would have done that BWB didn’t do is put a paper towel over the top of the soy marinated eggs that way the marinade can soak into the towel and the air exposed parts of the eggs would have been covered, allowing them to soak the marinade OUT of the paper towel, completely coating them. Totally unnecessary step, but it is essential if you want the perfect marinated egg.
I've only had restaurant ramen a few times. It was a step up from what I enjoyed in my mid-teens as ramen with Ranma. Neither of which was vegetarian friendly lol
This is like the episode where Gordan tried to make Pad Thai. The thai chef he was with took one taste and his expression of disappointment was soooo unforgettable.
Quick ramen noodle hack for homemade ramen, I want to share, since not everyone is able to purchase good ramen noodles or has a pasta maker. You take thin spaghetti or spaghettini--before you type offending things into your keyboad, hear me out--, and cook them in water that is salted and has baking soda (or kansui) added. The latter is the alkaline component that gives the noodles nicely chewey texture like real ramen. When cooking I prefer higher temperature at the beginning at middle temperature later, so you get more evenly hydrated noodles. This is a legit hack, and since I'm fluid in Japanese, I can also confirm that there is also a significant number of Japanese articles from Japanese expats who are using that hack.
If you show this to any Japanese grandma who doesn't know who Gordon is, she will probably think he is a typical man who can't cook and wife is not home that day 😅
I will agree with Gordon on one thing that egg cracking, cold water thing does work. I boil the sht out of my eggs, dump out the water shake the pot so the egg shells crack slightly then out cold water and let them sit for 10 to 15 mns. I don't know why but they peel a lot easier.
As a kid growing up on little to nothing. Those Mr.Noodle ramen packs gave me an extra meal for twenty five cents per pack. I lived off those for quite a few years. And when you do live off instant ramen, you find ways of tweaking it and making things your own way. Like, I love doing fried ramen, what I'll do is just soak the noodles soften then throw them on a small skillet with butter and fry the noodles before throwing them into the broth.
11:25 I actually tried cooking the noodles in the broth. The noodles honestly just absorbed the broth, leaving my ramen with so little soup in the end :P
afaik Ramen is boiled short and then rinsed in water to cool it off and stop it from cooking. IT is served immediately to eat and waiting to eat it will "break the noodles". You dont boil ramen in the broth because the noodles wouldnt haev the correct taste/texture. Also you can make really quick ramen, you dont need tonkotsu or broth, ramen are just the noodles, you might as well whip up a quick miso tare and that is miso ramen.
The only way I can think of someone creating broth from non-meats is if they use sources of vegetables or something with high fat content... And I don't think 'Olive' oil makes for a broth. It looks like Onions, Celery, and Carrots are the main ingredients for vegetable broth in general, but it doesn't have any fat content for the oily goodness of meat fats.
The black stuff in mushrooms may not be dirt… white mushrooms are frequently made from a compost of straw and horse manure. Shitake frequently uses chicken manure.
Not a chef, but I appreciate Frenchy as a butcher. "Just because I do this, doesn't mean you kids can." You're gonna saw both your hands off, boys. Don't play until you have decades. And don't get chef tattoos.
At this point Ramsay isnt a chef, he's a celebrity with MONEY. Any meal he will make, no matter what situation will be overcomplicated and made fancy and you cant get full on fancy. It was really proven when Brady made that grilled cheese and Gordon still couldnt comprehend that a good grilled cheese is simple. The man isnt capable of simple cooking and I guarantee he can no longer enjoy the simple things. Even a burger, no no has to be wagyu and some fancy cheese and an egg. MEAT IN BUN, how hard is that
The fact that Gordon Ramsey is a famous and wildly successful chef is what makes these epic fuck-up videos so fun to poke holes at. Trust me, he knows how to cook and *his* food is delicious. But he has this hubris that makes him think he can go anywhere and cook anything without learning the proper way to make these iconic dishes, when, if things were reversed he would mock the shit out of some regional chef floundering about in a Brigade de Cuisine kitchen at a fine dining restaurant. If a dish takes 2 days to prepare properly don't make "your own version" in 10 minutes. I would have respected this video more if he had taken premade vegetable stock, ramen noodles, dashi, a soft boiled egg, some mushrooms, and basic tare seasonings (pick one) and showed how a 'home cook' can make a good-enough bowl of vegetarian ramen quickly. Instead we got this chunks of tofu and fried cauliflower abomination that nobody would bother to make--particularly when you can order a pretty good bowl of actual god-damned ramen anywhere in the US for under $20.
The thing is that you can make a good vegetarian and even vegan ramen. Japan has tons of recipes utilizing shiitake kombu dashi. They love their vegetables in Japan.
the only few times I would like to eat cauliflower is either fried or roasted. Nothing really else comes to mind, maybe a replacement for broccoli on some stirfried dishes?
My home sloppy Chi-Mehk ramyeon (Korean-inspired, hence the different spelling) uses a homemade chicken stock fortified with a homemade chicken demi glace, garlic-chili sambal(because I suck at judging how to balance gochujjang), and beer for the broth. I use Leinenkugel's Honeyweiss, which lends a background of Hawaiian rolls. All the inclusions get simmered in the broth, added in at different times so none of them get hammered - usually a sliced grilled bratwurst (an upgrade from the hot dogs you'd get in Korea's budae jjigae), sliced baby portabella mushrooms, carrots, and the white part of a spring onion. The noodles go in for ½ minute, the flame gets killed, and then 2 raw eggs get cracked in, lid on the pot, and the eggs poach in the residual heat of the broth for 2 minutes. Find the yolks, stir them through for their velvety richness. Yes, it's nowhere close to traditional anything, but it's damn good. Flavor-wise, the broth is like a liquefied version of a Hawaiian roll dipped in good chicken soup with some chili added for spice. The richness of the eggs blunt the sharp edge of the spice, but because that chili flavor has permeated the interior of the meat where the eggs can't reach, those sausage slices retain the full heat, so you've got layers of spice and flavor going on. And if you can digest them (sadly, I can't), you can slice up the green tops of the spring onions for a garnish, which my wife likes.
I am pretty sure if you want a vegan option for Ramen, 3 of the 4 main Japanese Ramen bases Shoyu, Miso, and Shio are all vegan. As for Chinese Ramen, I think all bases are vegan, and only when it comes to Toppings will you encounter meat.
What I like to do with the cheap ramens is use dashi powder instead of the broth, cook the noodles in it, put a spoon of miso after, then put a dried topping mix in the bottom of the bowl(tofu cubes, seaweed chunks, green onion) then hit with sesame oil before serving. Super tasty
I think outside of it changing the broth flavor and clarity (when cooking noodles in the broth), it also makes the noodles less noticeable when you cook it in the broth. Because ramen in totality takes so long to make, you need to make each element shine as best as you can, by cooking the pasta in the broth (especially since its not like a hardier noodle like soba) you'd also lose the flavor of the noodle itself as it would blend in with the broth. Not a chef/Japanese/asian so I could be dead wrong.

Y'all didn't drink the broth at the end?! I demand satisfaction, choose your weapon!
I know it's 7000% of your daily recommended value of salt, bone marrow, and depending on the recipe a lot of times, butter, but damn it, you do it for the culture!
Gordon Ramsay: "I'm going to elevate Ramen"
Tsuta, Nakiryu, an Konjiki Hototogisu: "Bruh? NANI?"
"I want something easy today *searches 10-minute recipes*"
Gordon: "Ready for your placement test?"
Ok so I now going to help myself to a pack of Habanero Lime Buldak Ramen LOL 😂😂. Happy Father's Day. Cheers 🍻
Good choice
When Gordon added the miso paste to the water, he's just basically making miso soup, all he needs to do is just add the tofu and sprinkle some green onions just before serving.
Great video as always. Love the dynamic between you guys.
Where did you go for ramen after? Looks amazing!!
This is Ichiran ramen, popular for the private space
Thanks for answer :), looks like an amazing place
The way I YELPED when Gordon put the miso in, my dog thought I had hurt myself and came to check on me. 😂
Also: if anyone on his shows gave him that horrible unseasoned cauliflower, he would SKIN THEM ALIVE. 😂
Another idea for a T-shirt:
Front: "He got the egg right." Frenchie
Back: "But it's not even marinated." Chef Brian
P.S.: Is he trying to outdo Jamie Oliver's egg fried rice?
😂
Don't forget Jamie Oliver also made Ramen 😂
That egg-noodle is going to overcooked to hell, in boiling water those noodle will be ready in like 60-90s max depend on how soft you want it to be, even from dry stage
Frenchie started on the channel complaining when you were explaining stuff, now (at least when he wants to) he's asking questions for you to have a reason explain things.
You should use the water from rehydrating the dried shiitake, its pretty common in Cantonese Cooking as the water is super flavorful. Just rinse the mushrooms off first before rehydrating then it won't be dirty lol.
You're the first person I've heard say to dump the shitake water. Every single video I've seen and I've watched thousands from Chinese Cooking Demystified to Kenji to Chinese chefs back home always keep and use that water and they stress on not dumping it.
Provided the mushrooms were washed beforehand
It's actually amazing the amount of British chefs that fuck up their "ramen" by using the wrong noodles.
And yes Gordon over complicates things, it's almost as if he's compelled to because he can't make a simple dish for tv.
Just like Jamie Oliveoil.
No Romano with pepperberry?
nah gordon is the GOAT. crashed his bike a few days ago, got badly hurt bruise. And that mofo is now back in pain in uniform in one of his kitchens working doing his damn job.
There's nothing GOAT about going back to doing some job while still healing. Not like Gordon needs the money.
@@XBluDiamondX nah man you need help 💀
@@enxangura5263 Nah fam you need to see a doctor.
He has a bunch of these 10 minute meals , and for anything that is Italian or Asian or any kind of non English speaking countries food, they are all odd. Nothing is traditional. He has a Steak, Fried rice and Fried Eggs one
"Gordon Ramsay Cooks up Steak, Fried rice and Fried Eggs in Under 10 Minutes"
Didn`t he actually make a damn good sushi once?I swear I remember on one of his shows he was creating sushi and reacting to the prep of fugu. I might be wrong though.
@@wolfetteplays8894 theres a 2 minute video on Gordon's page of him learning to make sushi. But "Gordon Ramsay: How To Fail With Sushi" is a longer version of the same video at about 4 minutes
My goodness, the look on y'all's faces(and mine) when Gordon put the spring onions in the boiling water😂 this was the weirdest looking not ramen ever- I'm gonna go make a pre made packet now 🤣
Raid Shadow Legends sponsor is honestly the last sponsor I'd expect xD
Never put nori in the ramen broth. Not just because it will wilt. But the entire broth will taste like seaweed.
Gordan just made a cubano sandwich with no ham and non pressed bread... he started so well too.. and had lots of crackling (pork skin) that he didn't use; meat to veg ratio was wtf...(Wendy's ole lady "wheres the meats"
I love the ramen skit at the end. Very chill vibes. Would love more of that :)
I forget which Jamie Oliver video it was that Uncle Roger (or it might have been someone else) reacted to but Jamie was making a dish (I think it was Pad Thai) and then the Uncle Roger showed a clip of Gordon Ramsey making the same dish for a chef who was well known for it. The chef took one look at the dish, turned to Gordon and said it was wrong, Gordon was shocked.
It's almost like Miso Soup, but with added Noodles.
Soft boiled eggs spring onion and sesame seeds maybe a little sesame oil added to instant ramen is a great veggie ramen once in a while. Way better than this and so quick and easy and gets the protein with the eggs too.
I heard that bumper sticker joke first from Dave Mustaine (Megadeth)
🤦🤦😂😂😂 For the longest time I thought the drawing behind Chef Tsao was just some random seventies style grandma!!! And even now that I see that it's him I can't unsee the grandma!!
That intro is spicy. I love it. 🤣
He should take that pool of dirt water, gunk and seaweed and sell it in one of his restaurants if he likes it so much. He could even name it Tamesis Soup, and even convince his customers he is actually serving them a bit of liquid dump from his homeland.
5:00 use paper over the eggs
no more white parts
He's saying "oooh" cuz he's burning his hands on those eggs. I know it
The one thing i would have done that BWB didn’t do is put a paper towel over the top of the soy marinated eggs that way the marinade can soak into the towel and the air exposed parts of the eggs would have been covered, allowing them to soak the marinade OUT of the paper towel, completely coating them. Totally unnecessary step, but it is essential if you want the perfect marinated egg.
I've only had restaurant ramen a few times. It was a step up from what I enjoyed in my mid-teens as ramen with Ranma. Neither of which was vegetarian friendly lol
This is like the episode where Gordan tried to make Pad Thai. The thai chef he was with took one taste and his expression of disappointment was soooo unforgettable.
Like, yeah, it's probably delicious af. But he missed the essence of what makes Pad Thai a Pad Thai? 😅
It's like making pho tai, with a red wine beef broth, macaroni shells and ground chuck. Just give me the soy sauce and soft boiled eggs, thanks.
"Alright kids, next up we're making a gluten-free, vegetarian Biryani"
Quick ramen noodle hack for homemade ramen, I want to share, since not everyone is able to purchase good ramen noodles or has a pasta maker. You take thin spaghetti or spaghettini--before you type offending things into your keyboad, hear me out--, and cook them in water that is salted and has baking soda (or kansui) added. The latter is the alkaline component that gives the noodles nicely chewey texture like real ramen. When cooking I prefer higher temperature at the beginning at middle temperature later, so you get more evenly hydrated noodles. This is a legit hack, and since I'm fluid in Japanese, I can also confirm that there is also a significant number of Japanese articles from Japanese expats who are using that hack.
"What's the enemy of favour? Jaime Oliver" might be a good t-shirt idea Brian!
they know cilantro, they call it stink weed in Japanese, because the Japanese hate its smell.
Good thing the end focused on Frenchies' chopstick skills (or lack thereof) because if Brian screwed up his chopsticks... I'm revoking his asian card.
Gordon Ramsey saying....I'm going to make a fettuccine Alfredo using pene and vodka sauce. That's what I think of with the egg noodles. Lol
If you show this to any Japanese grandma who doesn't know who Gordon is, she will probably think he is a typical man who can't cook and wife is not home that day 😅
If Gordon only used the miso, the sea weed and the tofu, he could've made a good miso soup. 😂
I will agree with Gordon on one thing that egg cracking, cold water thing does work. I boil the sht out of my eggs, dump out the water shake the pot so the egg shells crack slightly then out cold water and let them sit for 10 to 15 mns. I don't know why but they peel a lot easier.
As a kid growing up on little to nothing. Those Mr.Noodle ramen packs gave me an extra meal for twenty five cents per pack. I lived off those for quite a few years. And when you do live off instant ramen, you find ways of tweaking it and making things your own way. Like, I love doing fried ramen, what I'll do is just soak the noodles soften then throw them on a small skillet with butter and fry the noodles before throwing them into the broth.
23:38
"This ramen is not simple!"
It also isn't ramen
11:25 I actually tried cooking the noodles in the broth. The noodles honestly just absorbed the broth, leaving my ramen with so little soup in the end :P
afaik Ramen is boiled short and then rinsed in water to cool it off and stop it from cooking. IT is served immediately to eat and waiting to eat it will "break the noodles". You dont boil ramen in the broth because the noodles wouldnt haev the correct taste/texture.
Also you can make really quick ramen, you dont need tonkotsu or broth, ramen are just the noodles, you might as well whip up a quick miso tare and that is miso ramen.
I’ve never noticed until this video how much his nose looks like the original mould for all Halloween Witch noses 😂😂
The only way I can think of someone creating broth from non-meats is if they use sources of vegetables or something with high fat content...
And I don't think 'Olive' oil makes for a broth.
It looks like Onions, Celery, and Carrots are the main ingredients for vegetable broth in general, but it doesn't have any fat content for the oily goodness of meat fats.
Just had your Beat Bobby Flay video recommended, had to watch of course. You definitely earned that win.👨🍳
The black stuff in mushrooms may not be dirt… white mushrooms are frequently made from a compost of straw and horse manure. Shitake frequently uses chicken manure.
Not a chef, but I appreciate Frenchy as a butcher. "Just because I do this, doesn't mean you kids can." You're gonna saw both your hands off, boys. Don't play until you have decades.
And don't get chef tattoos.
At this point Ramsay isnt a chef, he's a celebrity with MONEY. Any meal he will make, no matter what situation will be overcomplicated and made fancy and you cant get full on fancy.
It was really proven when Brady made that grilled cheese and Gordon still couldnt comprehend that a good grilled cheese is simple. The man isnt capable of simple cooking and I guarantee he can no longer enjoy the simple things. Even a burger, no no has to be wagyu and some fancy cheese and an egg. MEAT IN BUN, how hard is that
He cooks what his fanbase demands. If you check his normal videos hes doing simple good food.
Oh yeah, but you know everything, don't you? It's always these online critics.
The fact that Gordon Ramsey is a famous and wildly successful chef is what makes these epic fuck-up videos so fun to poke holes at. Trust me, he knows how to cook and *his* food is delicious. But he has this hubris that makes him think he can go anywhere and cook anything without learning the proper way to make these iconic dishes, when, if things were reversed he would mock the shit out of some regional chef floundering about in a Brigade de Cuisine kitchen at a fine dining restaurant.
If a dish takes 2 days to prepare properly don't make "your own version" in 10 minutes.
I would have respected this video more if he had taken premade vegetable stock, ramen noodles, dashi, a soft boiled egg, some mushrooms, and basic tare seasonings (pick one) and showed how a 'home cook' can make a good-enough bowl of vegetarian ramen quickly.
Instead we got this chunks of tofu and fried cauliflower abomination that nobody would bother to make--particularly when you can order a pretty good bowl of actual god-damned ramen anywhere in the US for under $20.
Gordon Ramsey can't make a grilled cheese sandwich or ramen
The thing is that you can make a good vegetarian and even vegan ramen. Japan has tons of recipes utilizing shiitake kombu dashi. They love their vegetables in Japan.
the only few times I would like to eat cauliflower is either fried or roasted. Nothing really else comes to mind, maybe a replacement for broccoli on some stirfried dishes?
I think this is the video where Uncle Roger took away his uncle title
21:08
"He just grilled cheesed this recipe"
and with gusto too.
Push the plastic on the eggs to make an airtight seal that covers all of them. In order to avoid the white spot on the egg. @5:05
Gordons feels closer to Jacks Garbage Stew than actual Ramen
My home sloppy Chi-Mehk ramyeon (Korean-inspired, hence the different spelling) uses a homemade chicken stock fortified with a homemade chicken demi glace, garlic-chili sambal(because I suck at judging how to balance gochujjang), and beer for the broth. I use Leinenkugel's Honeyweiss, which lends a background of Hawaiian rolls. All the inclusions get simmered in the broth, added in at different times so none of them get hammered - usually a sliced grilled bratwurst (an upgrade from the hot dogs you'd get in Korea's budae jjigae), sliced baby portabella mushrooms, carrots, and the white part of a spring onion. The noodles go in for ½ minute, the flame gets killed, and then 2 raw eggs get cracked in, lid on the pot, and the eggs poach in the residual heat of the broth for 2 minutes. Find the yolks, stir them through for their velvety richness. Yes, it's nowhere close to traditional anything, but it's damn good.
Flavor-wise, the broth is like a liquefied version of a Hawaiian roll dipped in good chicken soup with some chili added for spice. The richness of the eggs blunt the sharp edge of the spice, but because that chili flavor has permeated the interior of the meat where the eggs can't reach, those sausage slices retain the full heat, so you've got layers of spice and flavor going on.
And if you can digest them (sadly, I can't), you can slice up the green tops of the spring onions for a garnish, which my wife likes.
I am pretty sure if you want a vegan option for Ramen, 3 of the 4 main Japanese Ramen bases Shoyu, Miso, and Shio are all vegan. As for Chinese Ramen, I think all bases are vegan, and only when it comes to Toppings will you encounter meat.
You should combine your reaction channel with your singing and do reaction where you're just screaming at the person lol
What I like to do with the cheap ramens is use dashi powder instead of the broth, cook the noodles in it, put a spoon of miso after, then put a dried topping mix in the bottom of the bowl(tofu cubes, seaweed chunks, green onion) then hit with sesame oil before serving. Super tasty
My wife and I actually make keto soupa touscana and swap out potato’s for cauliflower and it’s delicious!!!
😂 Gordan made like some sort of Vegan British take on a Japanese Ramen, Thai Pho fusion.
As if Frenchie has ever seen the inside of a gym, done cardio or a plank! 😂
I think outside of it changing the broth flavor and clarity (when cooking noodles in the broth), it also makes the noodles less noticeable when you cook it in the broth. Because ramen in totality takes so long to make, you need to make each element shine as best as you can, by cooking the pasta in the broth (especially since its not like a hardier noodle like soba) you'd also lose the flavor of the noodle itself as it would blend in with the broth. Not a chef/Japanese/asian so I could be dead wrong.
What is the enemy of flavour? In this case, it's DEFINITELY Gordon Ramsay.
