Bring on the try guys !!! That would be a great collab…Keith is a huge chicken eater so that would be an idea or you could get them all together and have them collectively choose something to veganize, Just an idea !
The restaurant looked familiar then realized I ate their last year with a friend! We ordered a lot and nothing disappointed; the service was awesome, too. The bao is easily one of the most delicious items I've tried in a while (for fans of sweet/savory combo). It was so good, I picked up more 2 hours later even though I was still full (because gluttony is real).
Where is this restaurant and is their stuff expensive. I need to go there even if it’s across the country I’m taking a vacation. I love trying food from other countries and right now I’m into Japanese food.
@@jeremiahstephens9670 It's called Gokoku Vegetarian Ramen Shop and it's located in Studio City. Prices are affordable -- but that's subjective because I personally don't consider anything to be "pricey" if I feel the taste/quality is worth it.
im so thankful for all these new vegan options now. Ive been vegan since i was little i have a animal protein allergy. For years and years the only thing i could get was a salad plain .... cant trust dressings they almost always have eggs
My cat is allergic to animal protein, I had no idea it was a thing in humans. And for those of you wondering: no, I'm not feeding my obligate carnivore kitty a vegan diet. She gets special vet food with cut up proteins that her immune system can't recognize as being animal based anymore.
I will forever be obsessed with Yeung Man Cooking's Vegan peanut satay ramen recipe, it's on youtube and it's a forever favorite. Literally my favorite recipe I've ever tried, check it out if you love peanuty creamy ramens!
That looked great. I've never had ramen other than the store bought ones with the spice packet. I used to love them so much until all of a sudden I don't like the spice packet anymore. I need to learn how to make them better at home so I can enjoy them again. All those made me drool :)) and I can't even imagine how good they tasted.
It's about time lol. I haven't seen you in a while. I like the ramen 💡 idea. I would like for you to have Candace Hutchings (Edgy Veg), or sauce stache on the show with you. That would brighten my day lol!! Thanks a lot.
I love this vegan broth recipe. I don't love western roasted mirepoix broth because it's so sweet. I prefer the savory umami bomb broth made with kombu, dried shitake and bean sprouts.
My college Japanese teacher is just like Rie, but as a teacher instead of a chef. She was so nice, she let me partner with my older sister who took her class before for my oral final.
Please go to Mensho in San Francisco. They have a vegan ramen (2 actually, but they rotate one and the other is on the menu permanently) and I have to say it's probably THE BEST. It's creamy, smokey, meaty, and so flavorful. Absolutely the best. :)
Wow!!! I love these 2 people, and now I am seeing them in a single video!! Also, I love ramen!! Anyways, I want to see you with Alvin next time hehe. I am excited to see what Alvin's fave dish would you veganize.
Actually Rie has tried beyond meat. In the eating your feed video with Andrew and Niki, they made a huge burger made with beyond meat and Rie tried it.
I make vegan ramen all the time! Tho I make vegetable miso broth, which is already vegan lol and use eggless noodles, my toppings are always vegetables so I was pretty sure she was gonna like it!
@@LadyVader33 Well I live in Hawaii. So maybe its not near you. It's more like a general statement. If there are Buddhist Vietnamese communities near you, the Vietnamese restaurants will probably have vegan options.
@@LadyVader33 Specifically look for key words such as "Chay" in menus, you can find very convincing "meats" and jerky made from tofu skin and dried mixtures of fermented fruits and herbs which give a taste and specifically texture that is shockingly like meat that can make you actually question if it is really vegan. Lots of options but there are always horrible tasting ones, you just gotta find the best place and be sure of any food allergies as they often use a variety of different fruits and vegetables to get that meat taste. Vietnamese food is very vegetarian and vegan friendly as there isn't a lot of land based meat in our diet due to the little land we have aside from the very popular recipes and ones that specifically require fish sauce, which is a staple condiment in vietnamese cuisine but surprisingly isn't always universal. Most people in the country use chili salt, or fermented bean sauces, there are lots of daily meals where there isn't any animal protein and we have times, mostly during temple where we eat vegan for weeks or months at a time.
The problem with Beyond is that the artificial smoke flavoring is so strong and fake tasting that it overcomes other flavors in the food that it is being used in.
I love how Rie is always honest and says exactly what she is thinking instead of sugar coating it. Also, who makes the decision to subtitle certain people who are talking English? It's kind of annoying that you pick and choose who you can and can't understand. So you think it will help others by giving certain people subtitles.
I think what I love most about vegan restaurants is 98% of the people who open them are really skilled or dedicated to perfecting their skills and passionate about creating delicious satisfying food. It also feels really good to eat, it’s hard to describe how different you feel after a vegan meal. It’s really nice. I’ve had the most incredible vegan meals and I wish I had gone vegan a decade ago like my daughter
trust me 100% it can.... i went to this restaurant here in Calgary alberta called "nans noodle house" and i am blown away to this day by their vegan food. Im not being dramatic when i say i genuinely think its the best food ive had in my 28 years of life. And ive only been vegan for 3.5 years so that's A LOT of animal products :P.
Bring on the try guys !!! That would be a great collab…Keith is a huge chicken eater so that would be an idea or you could get them all together and have them collectively choose something to veganize, Just an idea !
Keith already tried a veganize style chicken that Ned and his wife made. Is in the try guys episode. But would love to see them collab.
Vegan without a recipe!?
I would imagine the Try Guys want nothing to do with Buzzfeed after they left, but maybe Merle could collab with them on her personal channel!
Agreed
@@kristenbellows3411 is actually called Home Cooke vs $15 vegan fry chicken
WHAT AN HONOR to get to work with the legendary Rie💚
LMK do y'all prefer light ramen broth or creamy/heavy ramen broth?
I'm a creamy gal myself
Light Ramen Broth. I grew up with that type of broth. I am eager to try creamy, that is saying a lot from a very picky eater.
Much prefer the heavy/creamy broth!
I prefer light broth but my daughter loves creamy
I like light broth with vietnamese mushroom seasoning & a sprinkle of nutritional yeast & a drop of doenjang suuuper umami 😋
@@poisonivy1616 that sounds amazing!!
I wouldn't dare to have Rie evaluate something I cooked. I know she is kind and wouldn't go Gordon Ramsay on me, but still ... it's *the* Rie.
ruclips.net/video/_UX2QfKNv3w/видео.html
legit.
glad to see rie and merle together! would love to see Rachel again soon, missing her content here!
she's around even if you don't see her... she produced this video!

Interesting, so you are allergic to most animal products, including dairy?
@@lucymziri1130 That is what they just said lol

Any video with Rie is instantly more entertaining. I love watching her gentle enthusiasm for people and food! 💕

i can't get enough of your content Merle, and Rie is a sweetheart. Thank you for the video!
Japan already has vegan chashu substitute. It's called 'fu' and is made from gluten.
Oh it's Soo good to see Merle. And I'm so appreciative and glad whenever we get vegan/ vegetarian content!! 💖💖💖
Would love to see Rie back and you guys making vegan japanese curry with a vegan katsu! My favourite dish ever!
I love that Rei is so honest!
Make it fancy vegan edition- Merle is The Who chooses the product. Imagine how amazing it will be 😍😍😍
Ohhhhhh!!!! I can imagine that!!
I just started watching! Enjoying already,
I love merle she's so passionate about veganism it motivates me to eat vegan options thankyou 💘💗❤️
I’m currently trying to transition from pescatarian to vegan so this couldn’t have come at a better time. Wish me luck! ☺️💜
You got this!
omg I've been seeing you in the comments of every other video that I've been watching lmaoo
we've the same tastes
You got this!!
You'll do great! 😊 Best of luck!
Oooo you got this! I just devoured some vegan tuna that I was shocked to enjoy. Just keep searching lol you'll find that good good
After a long wait....our girl Merle has come back....love u 💕
🥺💚
wow. your sweater, jeans and scrunchie took me back to my high school days in the late 80s. love your channel!
Tried your recipe!!! It was delicious! Best homemade I have done so far.
Hello dear

Try Alex’s video he goes over making a better version of instant broth, it’ll come up if you look up “Alex instant ramen broth”
Hello dear
I’ve been trying to find vegan ramen around me and haven’t had luck so I’ll have to make Merle’s!
Why was she just holding a 🍍 as she stirred the broth 😂
OMGGGG I love this collaboration!!!!!!!!!!! I love Rie 😍🥰 I forgot you used to be at Tasty 😝 can’t lie, this is one of my favorite pairings in history
I see Rie, I click. I'm a simple woman
same tbh
Same. The other host meh
I want Rie and Merle to be my moms.
Consider yourself adopted
@@MerleONeal omg yaaaaayyyyy!
@@nickih2727 madlad. you've done it!
I love this series
I love beyond patties!!! Omg, I have to say, i was salivating during the entire video! 🤤🤤🤤
The height difference between Merle and rie is so funny to me 😂❤️
Averaged together, their height is average!
It's about time lol. I haven't seen you in a while. I like the ramen 💡 idea. I would like for you to have Candace Hutchings (Edgy Veg), or sauce stache on the show with you. That would brighten my day lol!! Thanks a lot.
OML I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS COLLAB
Rie for the bluntness that we love
Yass two queen in one frame
you cant beat an episode with a rie appearance! 👍
more episodes with rie 🙌🙌🙌
Iconicccc duo
I actually had mind-blowing ramen at vegan eateries in Nara and Kyoto
I LOVE GOGOKU!!! Their mushroom ramen is to die for.
where is it located? TX!
@@sarahdee374 Los Angeles
These girls are just amazing
Love both you ladies & your shows!
I love this vegan broth recipe. I don't love western roasted mirepoix broth because it's so sweet. I prefer the savory umami bomb broth made with kombu, dried shitake and bean sprouts.
If mirepoix is too sweet, you probably used too much carrot. That's why it's so great in tomato sauce because it helps tone down the acidity!
So happy to see our girl Merle💖💖💖
Hello dear
can I just say, that ramen that you guys made was beautiful!!!!
No lie that home made 🍜 is presented way better than other two.
Great video. Thank you goodful for showing us all these great ideas😋
I can't wait to incorporate them into my cooking.
I already use miso paste basically every night with dinner.
My college Japanese teacher is just like Rie, but as a teacher instead of a chef. She was so nice, she let me partner with my older sister who took her class before for my oral final.
Been a vegan for a year now and I am totally loving it🤪🤪🤪
im so excited for this episode!!!!
They look soooooo good. I love ramen and have been trying to figure out the right spice ratio. P.S Rie reminds me of the french chef in Ratatouille.
Vegan Ramen sounds so good!!
Rie is such a sweetheart

This is truly the best vegan ramen I've ever had. I live in Vegas and sometimes want to just drive to LA to eat here!!
Actually Rie has tried beyond meat. In the eating your feed video with Andrew and Niki, they made a huge burger made with beyond meat and Rie tried it.
Once I saw the title I was like, "Oh this is going to be good!"
Lololol Rie giving bombastic side-eye in the thumbnail
I guess she died her hair between going from the restaurant to the studio lmaooo
Anyone in Sydney Australia, the vegan ramen at RaRa Ramen is so gooooood!
Merle and rie in one video . Yes
I make vegan ramen all the time! Tho I make vegetable miso broth, which is already vegan lol and use eggless noodles, my toppings are always vegetables so I was pretty sure she was gonna like it!
Food is love in every culture!!!
As soon as she asked how she was going to recreat pork.
I immediately thought JACKFRUIT
Loved watching this video😊
I wish I lived in LA and could get some of that vegan ramen… or maybe you guys could come to my house and make the homemade one. Looks so good. 😋
Omgosh i want this right freakin now!!!
This 2 gorgeous ladies is so great!
The best vegan meat substitutes I ever had was from Vietnamese restaurants.
Any place in particular? Are they listed on Happy Cow?

Rie as a teacher:
You did not do a good work, so I'm "just" giving you an A instead of an A+.
Merle is sooooo dreamy ffs body looks charisma 😍😍😍😍😍
Rie: YES x4
😻😻 I loved to see how others make vegan ramen!!
The problem with Beyond is that the artificial smoke flavoring is so strong and fake tasting that it overcomes other flavors in the food that it is being used in.
You would only want to pair it with other strong flavors and sauces.
Yeah I’ll eat it in a pinch but I prefer the taste of impossible burgers ! (I’m not vegan or vegetarian rn tho)
Maybe in the USA but not here, Beyond is very mild
@@jntjnt4034 Go vegan tho.
My goodness, I love these two.

I’m here solely to say the thumbnail and RIE’s expression is FLAWLESS 😍😍😍😍

I'd like to see you experiment with fermenting mushrooms and other vegan proteins to develop more flavor.
They all look good. I would eat all three in succession, starting with whichever one was closest to me. 😁
Great show! Loved it! Love that it's vegan! You should have Sunny from The Best Ever Food Review Show, he would be a fun guest to have!
So tasty looking. Thanks ❤
I hadn't realized how tall merle is until she was standing next to rie. Or conversely, how smol rie is✨
We love ramen too. We review it every chance we get. Wish we could have reviewed this

Omgggg her friend looks the Asian lady from incredibles !!
If Rie praised my ramen I would drop dead, I love her 😭
Rie, says "its nice, thick and fatty" ! Wait, is she describing me? Rolly, Polly and Soully!
The hight difference is the cutest ‼️‼️‼️
I'm about to fly from va to la just to try this ramen
I never thought I'd see the day where Rie would think the store vegan ramen is just as good as her go-to option
I'd actually make this for myself
Yum!
Vegan ramen that's what I Want,cause I am strict vegan, wish india also have a shop/restaurant like this
Would have been curious her thoughts on Ramenhood
PETITION TO INVITE UNCLE ROGER ON THE SHOW.
Nishiki's vegan ramen is THE BEST
Rie is the best 🥰
Look my local Asian store has this instant vegan ramyun and is delicious!!
I made this with almond milk and it was delicious!
It looks so damn good!
