The peanut butter and mayo/egg/garlic recipes have literally changed the way I snack. I thought that Ramen was just a salty thing to satisfy a craving, but now with a touch more effort I can make just a very satisfying bowl of food if I need a rapid lunch or something. Amazing!
That mayo/egg/garlic hack is definitely a game-changer for soup-based ramen. One of my favourite hacks is to use the Buldak 2x spicy chicken ramen, and add a spoonful of peanut butter to it, and I'll sometimes put a bit of Gochujang in there, but I'm definitely gonna try that full-on peanut sauce now. I also like to top mine with some sichimi togarashi or some spicy chili crisp. Josh from Mythical Kitchen put out a video a couple years ago with his hacks, and one worth trying is the French onion soup ramen. Delicious.
It's a total umami overload, but it's a nice treat once in a while. I'm a big spicy food guy, and the 2x Buldak has that perfect level of heat for me. If you put the sichimi togarashi or the chili crisp on and you're eating it with chopsticks, though, be careful. Slurping a piece of chili to the back of your throat really sucks.
The American cheese ramen is SOOOOO amazing you guys. Mind blowing. I made mine with extra seasonings of choice and sautéed carrots and mixed greens, soft boiled egg. SO good.
I just tried that first one with regular mayo, diced ham, a touch of sesame oil, and some leftover pico. Using the same bowl to scramble and cook the egg made preping it super easy and it came out delicious!
Loved the style of this video. It's great to see a bunch of different variations of commonly made dishes. Please make more like this. (Grilled chicken, pork, grilled cheese, wings, burgers, etc)
@@cbTimisacat The difference between 40 F and 70 F isn't going to make a huge difference when the amount of volume you're trying to cook through is 1 egg. You're adding 212ish F water to it. If you're concerned, just add a bit of extra water to ensure the eggs are cooked, but in the US raw eggs are really not a concern anymore. The commonly cited reason you're not supposed to eat raw cookie dough is because of the eggs, but it's actually because of the flour. Raw flour can be nasty, nasty stuff. Raw eggs, not so much.
Amazing tips! For the garlic, I have been sprinkling some salt on it and crushing/smearing it with the knife to get the oils activated and that really enhances the garlic flavor! I love garlic lol
My primary ingredient in ramen is a lot of cabbage, sliced thin, cooked with the noodles. I usually add other ingedients (leftover meat, shrimp, seasoned taco meat, whatever}, and 'float' a couple eggs on top. I like the yolks runny. Top with scallions and cheese if desired.
*Poach the egg in with the Ramen noodles. When the noodles are about 2/3 done give it a few spins and plop your raw egg in. By the time your noodles are done the egg will be poached. Doing it this way also adds a nice coating to the noodles that makes them amazing!*
I've tried putting whole eggs in while the noodles are still cooking, and just ended up with scrambled eggs. The boiling water seemed to tear them apart. Any tips?
Thank you for all these great ramen noodles variations. I have a bunch of ramen in my pantry and everyone in my house is sick of plain ramen, so am going to try all your recipes this week to reignite our love for ramen. Adding ginger ale to the 7th sauce was a nice touch. Some Koreans (including me) add 7up to the gochujang sauce for bibim naengmyeon, and this totally reminded me of that.
Fried eggs: to fry an egg use the smallest pan imaginable on high heat with a dot of water in the oil. Then, when its spitting at you like your mother in law when she hears you are moving away to further your career instead of your husbands, shimmy that hen-struation around trying to get the oil over the top of the whites as much as possible without starting a fire or needing a skin graft. Yolky, crispy edged heaven that will make you forget your mother in law is telling everyone on fb your job is a front for your real profession as a call girl.
The Peanut Butter sauce one looks so bomb. I do something similar, (too lazy for minced garlic, usually,) but it will jump up in flavor and texture if you garnish with furikake (A Japanese dry condiment, that is a mix of seaweed, spices, dried fish, and other delicious things,) or, even better, Everything Bagel Seasoning. It has sesame seeds, dry garlic and onion, and big crystal salt, it's UH-mazing! [NOTE: I wrote this comment before Sonny used both my suggestions in his recipes, making me look redundant and foolish.]
@@444.slickk yes, it was so easy, quick and tasty! The biggest challenge I had was following his lightning fast instructions while I had already started the ramen cooking. He goes over them so quickly, it was more work to roll the video back while making this dish than it was to actually make the dish! The peanut butter dish was so good, I'm going to make ramen again (2x in one day) with the basic recipe that has garlic mayo sauce. it REALLY steps up the game on such a cheap, simple staple!
I freeze almost all my fresh garlic after I separate the cloves. Put them in a jar w/out bothering to peel them. When I want fresh garlic, I take whatever I need, & either slice, smash, take off the ends, WHATEVER. And it's the texture of melted butter, I kid you not. Even if I throw them in whole, I can then just smash them against the side of the pot & it's easy. They just dissolve. The flavor is preserved, there's no smell in the fridge (as long as you have a good jar & lid oc. I use either jam or pickle jars, no plastic ones.), & I buy my garlic in bulk &/or on sale. I really dislike jarred minced bcs the pcs just never dissolve. 😅 And I'm a texture kinda person, ya know?
Love this style of video - reminds me of how mom used to make Hawaiian saimen for us as kids with a bunch of toppings we could pick and choose from. Loved it. I fry small pieces of bacon, get crispy and save half the grease for tomorrow’s eggs - then add chopped mushrooms to the pan to sweat. Meanwhile have an egg or two in one of those $8 hard/soft egg cookers and make them just slightly more cooked than soft boiled. After the mushroom sweat, I break up the ramen and put in the pan, then powder pack, a small spoon of kimchi and water. Cook for a minute or two until I can break up the noodles. On top I put three hands full of 50/50 salad mix (spring greens and spinach), and finish cooking. Usually I’ll add some slices of colby jack, which makes it a creamy broth. And the medium boiled eggs on top. Amazing. Need to add peanut oil next time!
I tried out the first one with a few additions of my own and it was fantastic. All I added was some ginger and onion powder, oyster sauce and fish sauce. Really tasty! Thank you so much for the ideas!
I’ve been eating Ramen since spending a year in Korea 48 years ago. I thought I made a mean ramen, including peanut butter and eggs. But your method takes it to a whole new level. I mixed peanut butter and egg last night. Awesome.

@@squidfeet7278 I see. I always hear people call it that, and by the looks of it assumed it was those Kraft singles that people use for grilled cheese sandwiches.

@@nikkim788 there are more high quality american cheeses, you can get them at the deli counter tho kraft works too. in this recipe it´s actually important to use american cheese/processed cheese cause it´s made to be easily meltable and has emulsion agents which create the sauce. it would turn up completely differently if you used ¨normal¨ cheese. not bad but different. american cheese is very popular in korea for ramen
This is cool. I think many people that experienced living as a broke student ended up concocting 1 or 2 things they enjoyed that were both cheap and easy to make, since no money and also no shame about what you were eating. I have a few myself and I always wondered what I am missing out on that others came up with. The thought didn't even occur to me that a professional chef might divulge some of these. I figured there would be too much snobbery to allow themselves to go there. Would love to see more videos like this for sure.
Dude, I’ve been watching your videos for about a year now. One of the things I like is you give out the ingredient list and measurements below. Why change for this one? I’ve made many of your dishes and love them. Keep up the good work.
I saw your channel grow. I feel like I've grown with you because you're a great chef. Thank you for teaching us. BTW, my husband and I love the rosemary salt. If you know, you know, oh, and we love you too 😘
I make a peanut sauce for my ramen noodles almost weekly. Saute minced garlic and onion in avocado oil, add a dash of sesame oil, a generous TB of peanut butter, big squirt of Siracha, a TB of soy sauce, dash of kecap manis to boost the sweetness, the ramen flavoring package (add some cayenne unless it's a chili based ramen flavor). Add a dash of oyster sauce if you want a bit more savory. It's my go-to quick lunch.
Keep scallion / green onion in your freezer. Use scissors to cut / add some green to your instant ramen. Add at the very end of cooking to retain the green-ness. I endorse the Dude’s highlighting the addition of an egg- partly because we usually have an egg on hand. Sesame oil might not be in your pantry right now, but buy some to have on hand. Make sure what you buy is 100% sesame oil, and not “stepped on” with palm / vegetable oil.
Best ramen hack video I've seen, great concepts and you actually did a good job keeping the primary two ramen concepts intact: speed and cost! Learning how to temper eggs is an "advanced" culinary technique that is very easy, and it's a great hack to make things creamy without dairy.
When you mentioned the egg, mayo, garlic trick I thought, it would be cool to make carbonara-style ramen. Low and behold you did it too! Always look forward to your content. ❤
Just tried the Mayo and egg trick and it definitely surprised me. I used my pork maruchan noodles and I don’t have any dehydrated veggies so I just went with green onions. I added minced garlic and the juice + cooked turkey bacon on top of that. Came out amazing IMO
0:45 for any egg boiling operation, I highly recommend piercing the shell at the blunt end of the egg using an egg piercer. Inside the blunt end, there is an air pocket. When you put an egg into hot water, the air in this pocket pressurizes due to rapidly heating up to boiling temperature. This pressure can cause the egg to crack. Piercing the shell lets the air bubble out. By letting the air bubble out, not only do you prevent egg cracking due to overpressure from the air being heated, but letting the air out also lets the egg expand as it cooks. A fresh egg should fill out that divot completely so your peeled egg doesn't have that flat spot at the blunt end. Piercing the shell also makes the egg easier to peel. When you quench the egg in ice water to arrest the cooking, the cooling of the air in that pocket sucks water into that pocket, and that makes it easier to peel the egg, because water ends up getting between the egg and the shell.
The last one sounds like it’d go great with some pork. Ginger, peanut and pork go pretty well together. Definitely interested in that kimchi one for my dad who enjoys both kimchi and American cheese.
my mom’s side of the family is from ecuador, so i grew up eating a dish involving hominy [alkalized maize] cooked in a peanut butter-based sauce. i haven’t had it in a long time, but seeing your peanut butter ramen made me think of my mom’s cooking :] thanks much for the cool idea
You read my mind, Sonny! I love shoyu tamago and a bit of fish sauce too! I recently found shin ramyun Green in my local grocery, it's a bit more laid back with mushrooms and tofu than the original. Shin black is still fire though! Scallions, cheese, kewpie, kimchi, mushrooms , everything bagel...the possibilities are endless!❤️
Listen. I just made the kewpie ramen, this is one of the best things I have had in a long time. I cannot wait to make all of these. I'm forcing all my friends to have a ramen night where we make all the recipes together. Thanks for the easy yet genius ideas. Also, I die from laughter every time you scream into your pillow. Thanks for making my day.
Eye am surprised you did not add coconut milk to a spicy ramen. Like Chile flavoured or that Buldak (super spicy, don't use the whole packet of spicy syrup), then some granulated ginger, lime juice, and garnish with cilantro. If you want, you can also add honey roasted cashews, broccoli and chicken. Granulated garlic and soy or teriyaki won't suck either. Eye live in a motel and cook with a microwave and toaster oven, and this is one of my favourite recipes. And, like The Dude, I always pull out a minute early.
Dinner today was ramin with a handful of frozen vegetables, sliced smoked sausage, egg. Vegetables, meat go into the water first and they're close to being done by time the water has boiled for a minute or two and then I add the noodles. As I'm adding the veggies, meat I'll add half of the seasoning pack, a bit of soy sauce, black pepper and sometimes oyster sauce, turmeric, garlic. When the noodles are done I stir in the beatened egg. When I use a frozen broccoli, cauliflower, carrot mix I cut it up into bite-sized pieces. Frozen peas, carrots as is. I also use cooked chicken, pork, beef and even hot dog weiners...
Been doing peanut butter + nanami togarashi or shichimi togarashi with my cheap ramen for ages. Never gets old for my palate. All of these hacks sound so delish! furikake: "foo-ree-kah-kay" also: "rice's best friend"
My husband bought me my first noodle bowl and the spoon/chopsticks and I adore ramen so I'm looking forward to trying these out Thank you for the great ideas and a really fun and entertaining video and my favorite drink is Ginger Ale so this is a great fusion idea
You can also steam them with a lid on the pan and not too much water and keep them in the square shape . Some years ago there was a fad in New York of ramen burgers that inspired me to figure out how to make them not lose their original form 😂
I made my own version of the american cheese style at 5:00. I used equal parts ramen water and half & half + gochujang instead of sriracha. Added some pepper flakes for more spice. OMG IS IT GOOD. No lie one of the best things I have ever eaten. Period.
I had some Korean neighbors who lived across the hall from me during my freshman year of college. They offered me shin ramyun noodles at one point and I threw away all of the Maruchan I owned. I absolutely only make the shin ramyun with eggs from this point on.
Absolutely love each of these ideas! But sadly, you're holding yourself back by using an inferior ramen pack... Everyone knows Indo Mei is the way to go 😂🤤
When I was stationed in Korea in 1998, our favorite ramen was cheesy ramen. Spicy ramen with melted American cheese. Sometimes with cut up hotdogs. Yum!
I tried the first one just now and the creamy sauce coated the noodles perfectly. I added lemon. It’s delicious. Knocked my pants off. 😅. Looking forward to try the remaining six. Great simple video. ❤
1st one I did exactly like you showed and did it with shrimp flavored ramen. The only thing I added that you didn't was dried seaweed cut up into strips. Delicious. Can't wait to try the peanut butter one next.
Peanut butter is a great tip. I love toasted sesame paste added to ramen but if I don't have it or can't get it peanut but it's a great hack. Tahini works great too
So I just made that cheese ramen and added chicken katsu to it. Used the ramen eggs too. My kids got up and punched the fridge! Well done dude. Awesome recipe
Cool hacks!! When you cover your marinating eggs, if you use a paper towel instead of plastic wrap, the top of the eggs will also take off the marinade 😌
I like a mix of mayo, cream cheese (really like the one with chives in it) and garlic paste along with the ramen seasoning packet, the noodles and the water the noodles was cooked in for my ramen noodles.
I tried the first peanut butter one last night. Let me just say as a black person I was going against my very nature messing with food like this but it was amazing. I feel like a chef now. The garlic really changes up the flavor.
Seen a few of your recipes and liked them. Saw a video or too, thought it was solid. But when I saw you kick that fridge… that’s when I knew, that this is a dope channel
If you can find Nissin Raoh at your local grocery store, I highly recommend it over any other packet ramen out there. Their Tonkatsu version is spot on.
Here's my hack for ramen. I don't like watery ramen but I don't like it dry either. So I use a little extra water and cook the noodles longer. The water incorporates into noodles much better. You end up with all noodles but they're more juicy. If you have any chicken, turkey, or beef, chop it up and add it in.. I let it cook for about 5 minutes then add a whole egg into the pot. Cook for another 8 minutes or so and the egg will have just the right amount of gooyness in the yolk. Slice the egg in half, place both halves in the bowl face up, and sprinkle a bit of salt right onto the egg halves
Ramen & Chicken I use Goya Mojo Marinade + Olive Oil for the chicken. Marinate at least a full 24 hrs. Instead of using the included Ramen seasoning packet I use ELOTE Seasoning by Stonemill. I like to use a small can of Cream of Chicken as well. Original Louisiana Brand Hot Sauce for a little extra spice. Pretty simple.
Coming here late; but I just tried the Kewpie mayo one, but added a slice of American Cheese on top, then stirred together when it was getting melty...WOW...so good.
I just tried the first recipe and wanted to give you a heads up, the dried vegetables never softened, so they were super hard, definitely boil them with the noods. Either way, thanks for the great video and keep it up! Would love another ramen hack video at some point.
The peanut butter ramen is my favorite. Have you ever tried peanut butter pizza? It's a normal pepperoni pizza with peanut butter mixed with the marinara
Delicious suggestions, thank you. I look forward to trying them. When it comes to pronouncing Japanese words, speak the vowels based on how the letters are read: A = “ah” E = “eh” I = “ee” O = “oh” U = “oo” You’ll say Furikake as “Fooreekahkeh” with a natural sticatto R. Many languages use vowels like this! Hope that helps, brother.
for anyone who was interested in the furikake spice pair it with some togarashi spice, it says its good for udon and grilled fish/meat but iput it on basically everything ramen,rice,udon/meats and since he didnt really mention it in the video furikake spice is made of sesame seeds,salt,bonito flakes,sugar,mushroom powder,garlic,chiles,tomato,miso powder and togarashi spice is seasalt,chili pepper,orange peel,sesame seeds,seaweed,ginger and another easy tip/ramen hack is to make aroma oils such as green onion oil and black garlic oil super simple but makes it that much better
Tip for sunnyside up. Wipe cold pan lightly with oil. Break eggs into pan. Put on glass lid then onto cooking plate. Turn heat on. Watch them turn out perfect no burnt bits
One trick I like is to cook the noodles in the sauce. For most high fat sauces this works well, just saute your vegetables and prep your sauce, then add about 1 cup of water directly to your sauce. Bring to boil. Add noods. If it's too dry or the noods aren't cooking, just add a couple more tablespoons of water. Flavor is really punched up, because the noodles are cooked right in hat seasoning and sauce flavor.
I enjoy cooking Dollar Tree ramen at Panera Bread by using their hot water and microwave. I am that dude that can't cook, but if you need someone to kick fridges and break kitchens then I'm it. Not sure what that all means, but just wanted to let you know I love you.
For myself
1- 2:40 kewpie mayo ramen
2- 3:37 peanut butter ramen
3- 5:00 american cheese ramen
4- 6:20 carbonara ramen
5- 8:05 chili oil ramen
6- 9:22 kimchi ramen
7- 10:30 ginger ale ramen
thank you!

@@nikkim788 there are more high quality american cheeses, you can get them at the deli counter tho kraft works too. in this recipe it´s actually important to use american cheese/processed cheese cause it´s made to be easily meltable and has emulsion agents which create the sauce. it would turn up completely differently if you used ¨normal¨ cheese. not bad but different. american cheese is very popular in korea for ramen
This is cool. I think many people that experienced living as a broke student ended up concocting 1 or 2 things they enjoyed that were both cheap and easy to make, since no money and also no shame about what you were eating. I have a few myself and I always wondered what I am missing out on that others came up with. The thought didn't even occur to me that a professional chef might divulge some of these. I figured there would be too much snobbery to allow themselves to go there. Would love to see more videos like this for sure.
I made the chili oil one a couple of times before, and let me tell you, it's nuts how good it is relative to the little effort that goes into it
the chilli oil one is about the only authentic you can get in china.. this one is chinese tho. not japanese
Dude, I’ve been watching your videos for about a year now. One of the things I like is you give out the ingredient list and measurements below. Why change for this one? I’ve made many of your dishes and love them. Keep up the good work.
I saw your channel grow. I feel like I've grown with you because you're a great chef. Thank you for teaching us. BTW, my husband and I love the rosemary salt. If you know, you know, oh, and we love you too 😘
That dude can cook!😂😂😂 I love making these kind of soups to my boys. Thanks 👍👍💯
ok
I love that you picked shin ramen. It’s just the best. I’ll have to try some of these!
Love Love Love the Screaming in the Pillow!! It's Great!!
LMAOOOO at the attack on the fridge. I'm sure it's been explained but watching you go at it makes me chuckle.
Same lol I wasn't prepared for the random dirt blow 😂
I make a peanut sauce for my ramen noodles almost weekly. Saute minced garlic and onion in avocado oil, add a dash of sesame oil, a generous TB of peanut butter, big squirt of Siracha, a TB of soy sauce, dash of kecap manis to boost the sweetness, the ramen flavoring package (add some cayenne unless it's a chili based ramen flavor). Add a dash of oyster sauce if you want a bit more savory. It's my go-to quick lunch.
Man i just wanted to say the production quality has increased so much ! we love to see it!
as always great video
Ngl all these look great but it's the fridge kicks that made me sub 🤙🏼
I love how when you make any sort of creative riff on an Italian dish you have to give a disclaimer 😂 them Italians are relentless
Been a viewer since rosemary rock salt. Iykyk. Glad to still be here. Loved this ramen one
Keep scallion / green onion in your freezer. Use scissors to cut / add some green to your instant ramen. Add at the very end of cooking to retain the green-ness. I endorse the Dude’s highlighting the addition of an egg- partly because we usually have an egg on hand. Sesame oil might not be in your pantry right now, but buy some to have on hand. Make sure what you buy is 100% sesame oil, and not “stepped on” with palm / vegetable oil.
Best ramen hack video I've seen, great concepts and you actually did a good job keeping the primary two ramen concepts intact: speed and cost!
Learning how to temper eggs is an "advanced" culinary technique that is very easy, and it's a great hack to make things creamy without dairy.
When you mentioned the egg, mayo, garlic trick I thought, it would be cool to make carbonara-style ramen. Low and behold you did it too! Always look forward to your content. ❤
Just tried the Mayo and egg trick and it definitely surprised me. I used my pork maruchan noodles and I don’t have any dehydrated veggies so I just went with green onions.
I added minced garlic and the juice + cooked turkey bacon on top of that. Came out amazing IMO
Hope this gave you all some ideas for your next bowl of Instant ramen noodles my friends and as always HAPPY COOKING!!!
Its FOO-REE-KAH-KEH! Love your videos!!!
Dude you made a supra smart decision by making your videos funny too
HP sauce, sour cream, Lee Kum Kee Chicken Bouillon on my ramen. Your video makes me feel less weird about it
What brand Ramen noodles do you use? You ROCK!
Heck yeah man! I’m about to have a ramen renaissance in my house!
0:45 for any egg boiling operation, I highly recommend piercing the shell at the blunt end of the egg using an egg piercer. Inside the blunt end, there is an air pocket. When you put an egg into hot water, the air in this pocket pressurizes due to rapidly heating up to boiling temperature. This pressure can cause the egg to crack. Piercing the shell lets the air bubble out. By letting the air bubble out, not only do you prevent egg cracking due to overpressure from the air being heated, but letting the air out also lets the egg expand as it cooks. A fresh egg should fill out that divot completely so your peeled egg doesn't have that flat spot at the blunt end.
Piercing the shell also makes the egg easier to peel. When you quench the egg in ice water to arrest the cooking, the cooling of the air in that pocket sucks water into that pocket, and that makes it easier to peel the egg, because water ends up getting between the egg and the shell.
Ramen with American cheese is the best ever !! Hands down especially with the beef ramen!!
Came for the ramen recipes, stayed for the fridge kicking.
The last one sounds like it’d go great with some pork. Ginger, peanut and pork go pretty well together.
Definitely interested in that kimchi one for my dad who enjoys both kimchi and American cheese.
Always loved adding american cheese to my raman! Way better than just powder packet and veggies!
That's the cheese
my mom’s side of the family is from ecuador, so i grew up eating a dish involving hominy [alkalized maize] cooked in a peanut butter-based sauce. i haven’t had it in a long time, but seeing your peanut butter ramen made me think of my mom’s cooking :] thanks much for the cool idea
Bro I love your vids keep up the work❤❤❤
This is great!!! The ramen looks amazing, I will definitely try each. But, the fridge kicking just throws this over the top - so good! 😂
My favorite cooking channel 🫡
Yours used to be one of my favourites back when u had 50k ish subs but you don't even voice over your videos anymore smh
Spent over an hour looking for THE recipe for ME. FINALLY!!! Thank you
You read my mind, Sonny! I love shoyu tamago and a bit of fish sauce too! I recently found shin ramyun Green in my local grocery, it's a bit more laid back with mushrooms and tofu than the original. Shin black is still fire though! Scallions, cheese, kewpie, kimchi, mushrooms , everything bagel...the possibilities are endless!❤️
Listen. I just made the kewpie ramen, this is one of the best things I have had in a long time. I cannot wait to make all of these. I'm forcing all my friends to have a ramen night where we make all the recipes together. Thanks for the easy yet genius ideas. Also, I die from laughter every time you scream into your pillow. Thanks for making my day.
about to make it tonight, is the raw egg thing safe?
The boiling ramen water cooks the egg. @@kojiwong9069
Loved this style of video! I will definitely be trying some of these, thank you so much for these amazing ideas!
I always add chili oil, peanut butter, crunchy garlic, egg yolk, seasoning packet, and mayo into my ramen. It’s sooooooo good!!!!
I have literally searching a instant ramen recipe for hours and then i opened youtube again and saw your video
Thanks
Thanks bro! I've been eating Ramen for a hundred years and love all your recipes..
Eye am surprised you did not add coconut milk to a spicy ramen. Like Chile flavoured or that
Buldak (super spicy, don't use the whole packet of spicy syrup), then some granulated ginger, lime juice, and garnish with cilantro. If you want, you can also add honey roasted cashews, broccoli and chicken. Granulated garlic and soy or teriyaki won't suck either. Eye live in a motel and cook with a microwave and toaster oven, and this is one of my favourite recipes. And, like The Dude, I always pull out a minute early.
Mud in your eyes
I've never clicked the subscribe button so fast in my life 😂😂😂 i lost my shit when he kicked the fridge 😂😂
Uncle Roger might have something to say about this!!! Love your stuff, anything I've made of yours has turned out amazing x
Dinner today was ramin with a handful of frozen vegetables, sliced smoked sausage, egg. Vegetables, meat go into the water first and they're close to being done by time the water has boiled for a minute or two and then I add the noodles. As I'm adding the veggies, meat I'll add half of the seasoning pack, a bit of soy sauce, black pepper and sometimes oyster sauce, turmeric, garlic. When the noodles are done I stir in the beatened egg.
When I use a frozen broccoli, cauliflower, carrot mix I cut it up into bite-sized pieces. Frozen peas, carrots as is. I also use cooked chicken, pork, beef and even hot dog weiners...
Been doing peanut butter + nanami togarashi or shichimi togarashi with my cheap ramen for ages. Never gets old for my palate. All of these hacks sound so delish!
furikake: "foo-ree-kah-kay" also: "rice's best friend"
My husband bought me my first noodle bowl and the spoon/chopsticks and I adore ramen so I'm looking forward to trying these out Thank you for the great ideas and a really fun and entertaining video and my favorite drink is Ginger Ale so this is a great fusion idea
Ok, but what if you mix the egg, cheese and peanut butter broth together!?!
You can also steam them with a lid on the pan and not too much water and keep them in the square shape . Some years ago there was a fad in New York of ramen burgers that inspired me to figure out how to make them not lose their original form 😂
God I love instant noodles, looking forward to this one 😋
I made my own version of the american cheese style at 5:00. I used equal parts ramen water and half & half + gochujang instead of sriracha. Added some pepper flakes for more spice.
OMG IS IT GOOD. No lie one of the best things I have ever eaten. Period.
I had some Korean neighbors who lived across the hall from me during my freshman year of college. They offered me shin ramyun noodles at one point and I threw away all of the Maruchan I owned.
I absolutely only make the shin ramyun with eggs from this point on.
welcome to the club. the next level is the army stew.
I love ramen noodles I've been eating ramen noodles every night for about two weeks. I'm on a fixed income and I eat like a college student.
You can add pickle and corn chips
Absolutely love each of these ideas! But sadly, you're holding yourself back by using an inferior ramen pack... Everyone knows Indo Mei is the way to go 😂🤤
Second time trying the peanut butter one and I can’t get enough of it. Your recipes are goated
AWESOME VIDEO!! LOVE LOVE LOVE YOUR STYLE!!
When I was stationed in Korea in 1998, our favorite ramen was cheesy ramen. Spicy ramen with melted American cheese. Sometimes with cut up hotdogs. Yum!
I tried the first one just now and the creamy sauce coated the noodles perfectly. I added lemon. It’s delicious. Knocked my pants off. 😅. Looking forward to try the remaining six. Great simple video. ❤
1st one I did exactly like you showed and did it with shrimp flavored ramen. The only thing I added that you didn't was dried seaweed cut up into strips. Delicious. Can't wait to try the peanut butter one next.
I just took a few of your ideas from this video. The kimchi, bacon and american cheese. The whole family said best Ramen ever. Thanks for the tips.
Stumbled across this, instantly one of my favorite youtube videos ever. Thank you!
Thank you for the video.
I learned a lot about making instant ramen tasty and at the same time how to properly kick something or someone.
Peanut butter is a great tip. I love toasted sesame paste added to ramen but if I don't have it or can't get it peanut but it's a great hack. Tahini works great too
So I just made that cheese ramen and added chicken katsu to it. Used the ramen eggs too. My kids got up and punched the fridge! Well done dude. Awesome recipe
Cool hacks!! When you cover your marinating eggs, if you use a paper towel instead of plastic wrap, the top of the eggs will also take off the marinade 😌
I like a mix of mayo, cream cheese (really like the one with chives in it) and garlic paste along with the ramen seasoning packet, the noodles and the water the noodles was cooked in for my ramen noodles.
I tried the first peanut butter one last night. Let me just say as a black person I was going against my very nature messing with food like this but it was amazing. I feel like a chef now. The garlic really changes up the flavor.
DUDE! I absolutely LOVE your videos! Just watched your cottage pie video and the growth from there to this video... Wow! Keep rocking!
God, I love the second one. I just made it today and it’s great. You also taught me how to make a good sunny side up egg. Thanks for a good video.
" Markus get me the pillow " * screams into the pillow *
They all look phenomenal! Saving this video and checking out your others. Hello from Idaho USA.
Seen a few of your recipes and liked them. Saw a video or too, thought it was solid.
But when I saw you kick that fridge… that’s when I knew, that this is a dope channel
I rocked that spoon trick tonight for the eggs. Black magic goodness. This channel has made me want to cook and have fun doing it. 🖤
If you can find Nissin Raoh at your local grocery store, I highly recommend it over any other packet ramen out there. Their Tonkatsu version is spot on.
Sooo goood!!! I especially love the way the eggs make googlie eyes on the delicious ramen dishes
Here's my hack for ramen. I don't like watery ramen but I don't like it dry either. So I use a little extra water and cook the noodles longer. The water incorporates into noodles much better. You end up with all noodles but they're more juicy. If you have any chicken, turkey, or beef, chop it up and add it in..
I let it cook for about 5 minutes then add a whole egg into the pot. Cook for another 8 minutes or so and the egg will have just the right amount of gooyness in the yolk. Slice the egg in half, place both halves in the bowl face up, and sprinkle a bit of salt right onto the egg halves
Ramen & Chicken
I use Goya Mojo Marinade + Olive Oil for the chicken. Marinate at least a full 24 hrs.
Instead of using the included Ramen seasoning packet I use ELOTE Seasoning by Stonemill.
I like to use a small can of Cream of Chicken as well.
Original Louisiana Brand Hot Sauce for a little extra spice.
Pretty simple.
Coming here late; but I just tried the Kewpie mayo one, but added a slice of American Cheese on top, then stirred together when it was getting melty...WOW...so good.
I just tried the first recipe and wanted to give you a heads up, the dried vegetables never softened, so they were super hard, definitely boil them with the noods. Either way, thanks for the great video and keep it up! Would love another ramen hack video at some point.
The peanut butter ramen is my favorite. Have you ever tried peanut butter pizza? It's a normal pepperoni pizza with peanut butter mixed with the marinara
you can have peanut butter pizza without pepperoni you jabroni
Delicious suggestions, thank you. I look forward to trying them.
When it comes to pronouncing Japanese words, speak the vowels based on how the letters are read:
A = “ah”
E = “eh”
I = “ee”
O = “oh”
U = “oo”
You’ll say Furikake as “Fooreekahkeh” with a natural sticatto R. Many languages use vowels like this! Hope that helps, brother.
for anyone who was interested in the furikake spice pair it with some togarashi spice, it says its good for udon and grilled fish/meat but iput it on basically everything ramen,rice,udon/meats and since he didnt really mention it in the video furikake spice is made of sesame seeds,salt,bonito flakes,sugar,mushroom powder,garlic,chiles,tomato,miso powder and togarashi spice is seasalt,chili pepper,orange peel,sesame seeds,seaweed,ginger and another easy tip/ramen hack is to make aroma oils such as green onion oil and black garlic oil super simple but makes it that much better
This is the most American thing ive ever seen but love the recipe ideas. Love crom Australia.
Man, this video has saved several days this month already, thanks!
Tip for sunnyside up. Wipe cold pan lightly with oil. Break eggs into pan. Put on glass lid then onto cooking plate. Turn heat on. Watch them turn out perfect no burnt bits
One trick I like is to cook the noodles in the sauce. For most high fat sauces this works well, just saute your vegetables and prep your sauce, then add about 1 cup of water directly to your sauce. Bring to boil. Add noods. If it's too dry or the noods aren't cooking, just add a couple more tablespoons of water. Flavor is really punched up, because the noodles are cooked right in hat seasoning and sauce flavor.
I enjoy cooking Dollar Tree ramen at Panera Bread by using their hot water and microwave. I am that dude that can't cook, but if you need someone to kick fridges and break kitchens then I'm it. Not sure what that all means, but just wanted to let you know I love you.
