Is $1 Ramen Better Than $10 Ramen?

- Is it worth it to pay more for ramen? Let's find out.
Back my new book on Kickstarter!!
www.kickstarter.com/projects/...
Forget the $100 ramen. What if we spent $10 to upgrade our meal, would it be better? I like to think so, but it really comes down to the value.
Do you want 10 $1 bowls of ramen? Or a single, nicer $10 bowl?
Value town.

Gandalf knows what's good for our wallets.
Well, I'm not particularly sure about Gandalf, but my presumption would be that the "average" cat (one of which Gandalf most certainly is not!) would go for yellowfin tuna (hence a more expensive version), if it would be an option. 😉

I appreciate you acknowledging the extra costs. Far too many videos leave out that detail. They say “25¢ for an egg” but leave out that up front cost of buying a dozen eggs.
Gandoff understands economics better than most. Love this new series you are developing. I think it will do great.
only 1:30 into the video so far but i love that you just go ahead and actual mention the buy prices and how they are split up for each portion.
Most people i see doing these kind of videos just mention what goes in which is a bit bothersome to me personally.
It's the most realistic approach to cooking imo
If you want to make smoked pork ramen, I would suggest to use a drip pan to collect all smoke drippings.
combined with having the marinade in the drip pan, you will get HEAVENLY GOODNESS.
after putting it in a container let it sit for a few hours so all the spices have set at the bottom, then poor off the top layer in a different container you use for broth/sauce
That sounds awesome
@@CHEFPKR I can already verify that using Smoked marinade liquid, adds a large kick to noodles. Tried making some and it tasted amazing.
It may be overpowering for some, but if you like a strong smoke flavor, then its highly recommended.
This shows the best thing about instant ramen, it's all in how you make it and what you add to it. You can keep it cheap and easy or turn it into restaurant quality.
Ending the video with Gandalf atacking you for food instead of banishing away is the best im seeing in a long time
Love the breakdown of cost per in ingredient. Super helpful and informative
The Mama brand is one of top three instant noodle brand in Thailand. People here usually buy the Tom Yum flavour. They are loaded with MSG though. When I cooked the instant noodles, I usually mixed two flavours, add mushroom, raw eggs, and some kind of veggies. Definitely not 1$
MSG isn’t bad that kind of just started as an anti-Asian rumour in the west obviously you need to eat it in moderation but it’s the same with regular sodium msg is just mono sodium
@@mius.cereal MSG is locally thought of, at least in Bangkok, that constant consumption of it would lead to hair loss. It wasn't until several years ago that I realized this was a localized believes. Since there was no mentioning of this online in English.
MSG really helps with lowering the sodium intake funny enough, salt is nice but for people who can't have a lot of sodium MSG can be a life and tastebud saver.@@mius.cereal
Hey Chef. Thank you for your content.
Very hyped that you upload!
Great Tips and techniques for upping packet Ramen! Thanks Chef!
I made chashu with a big pork shoulder I had in the freezer and it turned out amazing! Thanks for uploading this!
I love Sapporo Ichiban ramen, the tonkotsu flavor is my favorite so maybe I’ll try this with some pork when I feel fancy!
This is a great idea. Its so exhausting to see other content creators make stunt based foods. Like of course the Wagyu beef is going to taste great but the skill in cooking isn't displayed such as your video. Love your stuff PK keep it rocking!
I havent had pork ramen in so long, got me wanting to try again. These looked great though. I'm always trying to do something with my instant ramen too, and you given me some good ideas to try!
This looks really good, definitely gonna try it!
Loved the pacing in this video it was a vibe. Excuse me while I go make ramen this made me hungry 🤤
Don't forget to make a bowl for God's favorite princess.
Nice assist from past you to help present you in making these ramen.
That 1$ Ramen for me , as a college student is a luxury,
I love Gandolph! How about a video where you make some specialized cat treats or dinners based on some animes? Something we can make to?
Interesting touch with the mayo.
Personally, what I do with my instant ramen is pretty weird cause I use Hummus like you did mayo.
Mama ramen is AMAZING. When Im in the mood, I get that add some sliced sausage, diced cheese & wakame seaweed.
I have no idea how I found it, but years ago, I came across dried wakame seaweed on amazon.
500g bag for around 11£. The bag is huge & lasts me probably a whole year while using it for near everything.
Pimping up ramen. Extra touch to stir fries. Its SO GOOD
I hope sometime in the future you'll offer shopping in Europe
I followed every Kickstarter you did but never been able to pledge unfortunately
Ugh I hate that egg prices have skyrocketed due to the bird flu outbreak since they are a staple in my diet. But yeah I remember people would get mad at Joshua Wiessman for saying the prices and people didn't understand it's what you're using for a serving size lol. So that opening explanation I realize was needed. Pork shoulder is almost always on sale or at a good price so I love that substitute.
I love ramen and have it all the time, those eggs looked amazing! I'm usually too lazy to wait for eggs to marinate though lol. I really should just mass make them like you did and keep them for use.
The marinated eggs stay good for quite a few days as well. Sometimes I have them on toast and just smash em on the bread. It's so good.
$10-12... I wish lmao. When I was working in Airzona, you're on the money with those prices. Back home in St. Pete, Florida? only like 2 ramen spots and they KNOW that, so their cheapest bowl starts at around 18 bucks
Definitely varies from area to area. In Portland we can get a killer bowl of ramen for about $14
should also make a $100 version i think that would be a hit
Ain't nobody got money for that
If you want a little bit more out of your cheap ramen, consider a block of miso. At least where I am, I can get a block for $5. However, that block will have enough for like 50 bowls of ramen, so $0.05 per serving. And it'll stay good for a year as long as you keep it in the fridge, so not much risk of waste.
Simply for personal preference, rather than using instant ramen for the $10 option, I would recommend frozen ramen, which usually has better noodles and broth, and then maybe replacing the meat for veggies
Still, very cool to see these recipes as alternatives!
I'm early and feel forced to comment, love the vids though you deserve more attention!
As a person who sells food on the side if you saw my spreadsheets you would be blown away at the amount of work I've put into just calculating every single little thing. I have not only my clientele list and what they order I have my price page which allows me to at any point go look up an item and change the price. And then it will change it for all the recipes that use that item I have all my recipes sorted out by types so side dishes main dishes desserts drinks sauces Etc. And then any breakfast items dinner items lunch items that might fit differently in that listing have their own page as well along with possible future products that I would like to make such as a lot of the infused oils and Butters and stuff that I've always wanted to make just not profitable for me to do. I have full cost evaluations breaking down how much it cost to make the entire batch and how much I should charge along with that each individual dish on its own . I put forth so much work to make sure that I can always do my best when it comes to the pricing of stuff but sadly I hate currently only have two people that order food from me and trying to make the smaller batches so that I'm not losing money because I don't eat what I sell cuz I can't afford it for the most part I mean I usually eat some Ramen soup with an egg and maybe a piece of like chicken so you know making a meal that costs $10 to sell and I might make five off of it it is more than I can afford especially now that work is cut me down to 16 hours making only $9 an hour very rough to figure out how I'm going to live but I'll figure something out
I like the new induction cooktop
It's great when I can use it, but the coil whine is really bad for audio :(
If I may suggest when it comes to cheap romen packs boil it first then drain of the water because the noodles are fried in oil and dehydrated for packing the so wash then in cold water then add fresh water and reheat
Good tip! Yes, there is a TON of oil in instant ramen.
Leonardo DiCaprio pointing at screen meme:
Hey, this is kinda like those food pics I sent you of my budget shrimp alfredo using Instant Shrimp Ramen, Alfredo sauce, and popcorn shrimp!
Kinda.
But hey, you reminded me of something that I found pretty fun.
Hey Chef! I don't know if you kept the macros for the Ramen, but it would be nice to know them just in case we want to make either of these Ramen for dinner or something.
It's definitely not macro friendly. Super high in fat, the $10 Ramen is probably close to 30 grams
I'll take both please.
Try tea leaves salad pls
So I feel like what we learned is a two-dollar Ramen the probably as good as a 10-dollar Ramen. Like you get the extra noodles and you get the second egg half. You know maybe maybe a little bit more since you'd have like what 40 more cents to spend on something
I didn’t notice until now, but did you peel the eggs before topping with the sauce? I wasn’t getting the same coloration on my eggs that you did and I’m wondering if this is why.
I did! But mine were marinated for 24+ hours.
@@CHEFPKR cool yeah even after 24 hrs with shell on not much penetrates through. Additionally, I can confirm the sauce works very good with the Buldak carbonara ramen and gives a spicy pork version.
Hey PK! Whats the difference in QP Mayo and regular mayo. We sell it at Wal-Mart but i dont know the differences
QP has a much higher fat content due to more egg yolk and MSG
Where’d you get those bowls?? I really like the big dimples
I think we ordered them on Amazon
lets go chef pk
What about using a premade Ramen Broth. I've seen them near the Chicken and Beef Broths.
I tried your 10 dollar Ramen and it was the best Ramen I have ever had
I have become infatuated with making ramen lately. I have spent so much money on ingredients and even a pasta maker. Ramen is one of the rare things that people should really just go out for. You will save money.
A slice of American Cheese will do the same thing as the kewpie mayo for the cheap ramen.
Please tell Gandalf that I love him
I will literally route my jobs so I can get a good bowl of ramen 2 hours away.
they both look so tasty and gandalf looks beautiful as always! i would love to create some but i'm the only one in the house that eats pork and i hate making food for myself is there any substitute for meat?
Chicken thigh is AWESOME with ramen. Same with beef.
Both ramen looks delicious. Its 11.20 and im hungry😂
when you are short on cash 10x of those makes a lot of difference...if you can afford it go all out
Still waiting for the Trash Taste episode where you cook with the boys.
I was just thinking it’s a shame he wasn’t a guest on the podcast while he was in Japan while I was watching this xD
I honestly do like Mama's Ramen. Especially Stew Beef.
I use bullion for my stock
What about a blind test w/friends with lots of different prices ramen to see just how where the price to taste changes
Imagine having friends.
I can’t bro that’s why I need you to do it😢
Gandalf is a man of the people.
Enjoying this video, but there seems to be some audio issue.
Ahh sorry about that! Any point where it's messed up?
Damn, these MAMA noodles are EVERYWHERE! 😂
Ramen ❤
Gandalf has spoken
I always thought it was chicken, or beef. Didn’t know it was pork!
I love ramen 😋
did you say $4 for the mayo? Where live (Florida) it goes for $9 at my local asian market.
Yep! But mine is a smaller bottle, so maybe that's why?
can i swap the bacon to other type of meat? will it change the taste
Yes you can and yes it will
You know, you could've used that concentrated broth for some tsukemen. You would have had a taste of what the Trash Taste bois have sworn by
I thought about that, but wanted to keep it pretty 1:1
As much as I wanna make this, since it uses the seasoning packets, the sodium levels will be FAR too high for me. I'm going to have to figure out a way to make this without getting half my day's sodium in one meal.
In Japan I had some 10-dollar ramen I we need... like need or Amarica coud die.
I like doing seven minutes for the eggs.
What kind of cat is Gandalf?
There is a high-pitched whine in this video when the chef is in his kitchen, but not in voice-over sections.
I think this chefpk and uncle roger won't share same braincells
Try Genshin Impact food, it's delicious ❤
How the hell does a ramen egg cost 20 cents ????
I snagged a dozen eggs for $3, so about 36 cents for a whole egg. Half the egg is about 20 cents.
Still gotta spend a lot to make them though!
Eggs + marinade
damn@@CHEFPKR
Deli bacon bruh. They will sell you one slice.
Hi chef pk I want to ask something pleace I life in a country where jour cookbook does not delivers i live in south Africa can jou please send a copy of the book please can everyone help me get dis to the top coment please
Do you think you can win in a street fight
Yes, I just run away and laugh.
4:10 dear Friends please keep in mind 4:55 Showing Shio Raman (Salt one)*
14:15 result
* I think the Dude that Sold you the Ramen trolled you cuz its Shio Ramen (Not Tonkotsu 味)
Maybe other Peps Had wrote it befor
and nodody is perfect.😅
For Chashu I also use the cheaper cuts of Pork Like this one Like you used or other one cuz it fits better in the Rice cooker and you dont have to worry about it, for hours...
Just premix everything and burn of the Alc. Otherwise it could taste very bitter (And becarefull Guys you can loose your Face Hair cuz of big flames, almost happened to me😂) and Put all after that in the Rice cooker setting hold warm we dont wanna boil it (its the setting when the Rice is done) its about 65-70°c [sry dont know the Right F° one (maybe its 135-150F)] and 3 hours later and you got a super Tender piece of meat.
Btw This cheaper and expensive one costs Here
0.60€ and 1.50€ almost twice than over sea 😅
does anyone else
hear that
Someone mentioned the sound earlier, can you point it out for me? It might just be the super low music
❤
