You know how humans are 60% water? I'm convinced you're 60% hot oil.

did this guy just eat like 8 instant noodles in one sitting damn

"It needs some hot oil to cut down on the fattiness." - Mike Chen, 2016

Mike and his hot oil

Seeing this video with an empty stomach 😥😥 it's torture

im eating scramble egg while watching you. just made my eggs 5x better

All those noodles look so delicious!! I can watch you eat all day

Adds oil to cut down on fat. xD

I need to try these. Come on Amazon don't let me down.

Getting paid to sit infront a camera and eat food damn that's the life

Man we need more Ramen instant noodle brands in the usa. i want to make one using Louisiana ingredients.

I need to stop watching Mike's food videos late at night it makes me hungry. But I can't stop watching.

All 99 Ranch Markets in LA carry the Man-Han brand noodles, especially the chili beef ramen.

Pro Tip: When ever u have a sauce packet, and there is still sauce on the inside(that u can’t push out). Fill it with water then add it in.

you really just need to change your channel name to chilli oil enthusiast guy

You can buy #8 at many stores in Flushing. The soup is good if you don't add too much water, should be 80% of what it took to soak the noodle. The soup is a good palate cleanser between bites of noodles. Also #1 is just nostalgia. Foodies often vote with their emotions and nostalgia from childhood is a powerful emotion.

I went to Taiwan and I had the non-hot version of the chili beef soup -- the one with the beef packet inside. We had never tried anything like it before and we were freaked out at first by the meat with broth packet, but they were so delicious! Very different to Japanese Instant Ramen, it has like a chinese spice to the broth and a thickness and oiliness to the soup that ramen doesn't have. I will say though that I did crave Japanese-style ramen a bit while in Taiwan, and that's extremely hard to find there-- I think most of the Instant noodle options at 7-11 etc are all Taiwanese style broth noodles with the chinese spice, but that said it is still delicious. It's neat to see these in videos, I described them to my friends and they didn't really 'get' what I meant.

The Taiwanese beef noodle soups are the best! I was also mind-blown when I first found them. Staring at my parents like "This is your usual ramen???"

when it comes to food videos in general you're definitely my favorite KZfaqr

The simple noodle ranked as number one is usually eaten dry as a school snack. You crunch it up, add the seasoning and just eat it with your fingers.

this makes me wonder... what is your blood pressure?

麻油 is not numbing oil it's sesame oil lol

This stuff blows Top Ramen away. When I first saw one of his videos I didn't really like it. But I kept watching and this guy grew on me. His channels now one of my favorites. Keep the videos coming man!

麻油 (Máyóu) is Sesame oil, not numbing oil...

Man I love your food channel

That was the most accurate scores I've seen. Flavor description is awesome as always. I totally can feel like it was me eating them all. xD

I watched this video at 12am. Why I did this when I'm really hungry, I will never know. TORTURE

"I'm so filled with sodium, if I even looked at a snail, he might shrivel up and die!" Haha 😂😂😂😂😂😂

The thing with the last noodle (the snack one) is nostalgia. It's the "it" snack for kids growing up in the 80's and 90's, and it's still around. Thus the unfair win.

Yes, Taiwanese instant noodles rock! But I've heard some Taiwanese people say, "Don't eat them too often or you'll get cancer."

I have a love/hate relationship with your channel... Love because it’s enjoyable and the vid structure is just so dope along with the content you’re pushing. Hate because every damn time I watch I get all fricken hungry cuz the food looks so good.

Mike you are a master for getting all those past customs

I tried the Wei Lih noodles for the first time yesterday and I thought the soup's mellow onion flavor actually paired quite well with the rather strong fermented flavor of the noodles. I also got a hold of the Uni-Pres chili beef noodles (the one with the beef packet) so I'm going to try those next :D

I was so happy to find out u crushed the last one and not toss it in boiling water. I was ready to scream!

#1 was childhood memories for me. my friends actually discovered this for ourselves when we had no hot water and we were starving. my friend suggests we just break it up with the flavoring mixed up and boom.

Don't see any of these on Amazon. Then again, maybe I'm not typing the names in correctly. I'm currently eating Vietnamese instant noodles, Mi Lau Thai Shrimp Flavor. Strong hits of lemongrass and spice.

Haha it's not "numbing oil" - it's sesame oil. Super traditional Taiwanese chicken noodle soup!

Probably better than maruchan chicken top ramen

I love your ramen taste test videos! I wish we have these in the US.

I love hearing Mikey speak Chinese. Takes me back to my childhood.

The translation of ma you(麻油) is not numbing oil, it's sesame oil. And, for the ma you ji mian and hua diao ji mian, you put the sauce after fining cooking the noodles. while cooking the noodles, you also need to put the sauce pouch atop of the bowl to warm it up.

I'm so hungry now and it's bedtime, lol ! thanks, wish I could try some of those. :)

I live for ur instant ramen review s!

Your ability to eat so much is amazing. You should try to do more food challenges. I enjoyed the pho & ice cream one you did. Thanks for the video.

I always wait to watch these videos until I can eat ramen while watching. It’s the only way. 🍜 🥢

Hi Mikey based on ur review, I purchased the two u rated 9/10. The uni-President chilli beef flavor n the wei lih men...both in 5 packs. The chilli beef I got does not come in a bowl but I hope it comes with the beef n have the same taste. I got both on eBay from two different Taiwanese sellers with good feedbacks...$23.50 n $18.99 with free shipping. Should be arriving in another 2 weeks or so. Hope this info helps u when u run out...

Love your videos. Recently started watching.

I am not asian but i LOVE asian food, I use to love my ramen noodles but would buy from the "pasta/noodle" aisle and overlooked the ones in the asian but since watching ur videos has changed my thinking and loving my ramen experience these days and YES...spicy is best, I love my chilli but not as strong as you LOL. Garlic, gotta add it to everything and my father grows his own garlic and pickles them himself and puts that on rice cakes...with cream cheese

I add in a packet of tuna to my ramen, kicks up the taste of even the humblest of them.

Hey Mike, video idea. See if you can get a hold of Chinese or Taiwanese or Korea military MRE meals and try them out. I've seen a bunch of MREs out there but rarely Asian ones.

Your first reaction was classic lol, loving this Mike

Thanks for great works in reviewing the best instant noodles for world viewers!. Well done.

Taiwan!!!

Mike`s MSG level must have shot up OVER 9000!!!

Mike makes everything looks delicious.

why am I obsessed with these videos?

oh man a spicy one of those would be perfect cus its kinda cold here at home now

omg want this stuff so much!

One of my favorite videos!

It's crazy how this video is making my mouth water! I love ramen, and would love to try any of those. So jealous of him right now. LOL

3:15 yep soup still sucks, but woah! lol Mike you crack me up bro. loved the vid. you and Dan and Yi need to do more Ramen vids. give ole Hans "the ramen rater" a run for his money

I think 麻油 is sesame oil... not numbing oil.. p.s your vids r amazing

I always like you because you are very funny sometimes and that makes the show even more interesting

I am from taiwan! BTW , in order to make the 維力炸醬麵 in it's best state. @We usually put meatball and celery in the soup @Also add a poached egg in the noodles / soup (2 eggs) would make that a perfect meal!

How do you get your hot oil so thick and red, I make mine as instructed in your hot oil video and mine never has looked like that. Mine just looks like oil with fried chilli in it, any suggestions.? Love your food eating videos, always amazed how much food you can eat. . . Love from the UK

Ohhh mike you're making me hungry and I just ate 😛 😋

You really inspire me to get to know more about asian Food please also do turorials and talk more about the ingredientes, watching your videos its like a whole world opening in front my eyes

we appreciate your hard work,Thank you:3

instant ramen is the best. wow a flavor pack with actual pieces of meat.

Basically any one of these that contains meat in retort pouches you won't be able to get here in the states. Though, his personal favorite one is widely available in the Asian markets like Ranch 99.

Every time you mention hot oil, I smile. Goooooood stuff......

Since I’m Korean, hearing mike say “ban chan” is so funny😂😂

From now on. I'll make myself instand noodles before clicking on your video's😂

排骨雞麵，肉骨茶麵，肉燥米粉 are some of my favorites.

Need more of number 5!!!!!!

I love your videos im your biggest fan!!

Your a boss thank you I appreciate it

With the Wei Li, you're supposed to cook the seasoning with the noodles then pour the soup out, not mix them separately. The soup is much better and much less salty because some of the seasoning stays with the noodles. Also the ones with the meat in the packets, you're supposed to add them in after cooking the noodles. Not sure if it makes a difference, but that's what the instructions say ;o

This video made me so happy ahhh! :D

Came back to this video to check I got the correct noodles! There is a Taiwan Fair going on one of the Aeon Shopping Malls in Malaysia and yay! They have the dried Jajjang noodles and minced pork noodles!!! gonna get more next round! Thanks Mikey! Hope to see you in Singapore the next time you come again!

Omg mouth watering.. I miss 康师傅红烧牛肉面from China lol

I gained ten pounds because of this guy....

You are the best of noodle eaters

I just bought tickets for Shen Yun in Chicago South Suburbs. Amazing that something like this is avalible near me, can't wait

other asian countries: So these are the top 20 best noodles from our list of 100 India: We got Maggi we got Yippee, what you want?

Damn you for posting this before bed time... drool... Haha, and why do your hands look black on the closeup shots? :)

Love your food videos :D

It's 4 am and I am so hungry watching these videos lol

i swear you should get some type of sponsorship from hot oil manufacturer company.

OMG IM SO JEALOUS WATCHING YOU EAT ALL THESE

great video ! cant believe you ate all the noodles though..shin ramen is still my fav

Hungry now. Love your videos! 👌

Can you try all the Korean and Japanese instant noodles?

Does someone have the english translations for these noodles? Does someone have a link to where i can buy them? I just want them so bad

The 科學麵 is similar to how Malaysians eat Mamee noodles back then which transformed into an actual snack this recent decade haha. Definitely delicious, and supposedly was one of the best local instant noodle before Maggie became the norm

Mike, I love you for recommending Uni- President. Really enjoyed having real beef and the flavor was fabulous. Having to import them was expensive and I likely won’t buy them often. But, man.. in my ramen quest I loved this.

Can you do the spicy ramen challenge!? :D

Come to philadelphia..theres Chinese and korean supermarkets..that have thousands of different ramen and stuff....even kimchi ramens....good....

"...If I even look at a snail, its just going to shrivel up and die." Perfect description of how I felt just watching him eat those noodles.

I love this channel 😍
