Japanese American here. I grew up on instant noodles. Have eaten them my entire life (over 50 years). I know a thing or two about instant noodles. The Korean brands are the best, and Nongshim - the makers of Shin Ramyun - is the gold standard. As a bonus, Nongshim is made here in the US. Although I will say those Momofuku noodles look pretty good.

@HeadCannonPrime Жыл бұрын

I love Nongshim. Sweet Irony that the best ramen is a Korean brand.

@ashleyhunte Жыл бұрын

As a vegetarian, Nongshim is my go-to with the kimchi and vegetable cup noodles. They’re fantastic!

@jant4741 Жыл бұрын

No need to keep tasting! At first foam add 1/2 cup of cold water. Second foam they are done. Transfer to a coriander and rinse a little under cold water so the noodles do not get mushy, or sticky & retain a proper slippery texture. Shake excess water off. You can then keep them in the frig in a bowl, covered with a damp towel for several hours. Then make the soup with fresh water ( or make the soup in the bowl first, then drop rinsed noodles into remaining boiling water to start cooking them. Why? Often ramen noodles have oil on them & that oil can go rancid & soup isn’t authentically made in the left over starch noodle wate😢r.

It'd be cool if you did a followup video where you take all 3 Momofuku noodles and figure out simple but delicious ways to add to them. Some recommended toppings, protein, maybe even alterations to the sauce (I know David Chang adds some honey and soy sauce to his soy & scallion noodles sometimes).

Thank you for reviewing these brands! I've been so curious about all of these different brands. I've had to limit my sodium intake to half the recommended amount per day and have been on the hunt for alternative ramens ever since. My go-to option right now is chicken bone broth, Lotus Foods Rice Ramen (just the noodles), and a tablespoon of gochujang as a base for other toppings. But I've also been trying out more brands of pre-packaged things recently (wasn't a huge fan of Immi) and really want to try the Momofuku noodles and the Xiao Chi Jie noodles! They looked so good~

@Sobo272 Жыл бұрын

It would have been nice to get a quick note on what price you found each of these for. Obviously there can be some regional differences, but it would be helpful knowing that the Xiao for example is $50+ for the 6 packs, compared to the Momofuku at $52+ for 20 packages.

Yeah that's the biggest issue I have with this video. Sure you would expect to spend a smidge more than like the most basic Maruchan for a better product but these are all massively overpriced and it's dumb to compare them when they are all on their own tier anyway. Maruchan: $3.68 for 12 servings, $0.31 a serving Momofuku: $13 for 5 servings, $2.60 a serving Mike's: $23.33 for 7 servings, $3.33 a serving Immi: $39.99 for 6 servings, $6.66 a serving Xiao Chi Jie: $44.99 for 4 servings, $11.25 a serving Obviously the one that costs $11.25 a serving is going to be better than the one costing $2.60 a serving, they aren't even on the same level. And that's not to even mention, that's the "most expensive" Maruchan price, you can buy a 24 serving pack on Amazon for only $6.24, $0.26 a serving. Who is going to pay ~$40 for 4-6 servings when they can pay $6 for 6x the amount of food. Yes the Maruchan is slightly less healthy but like, use less of the seasoning and load it full of veggies and proteins, that would be a way more cost effective way to make it healthier and taste more premium.

@MisterMister5893 Жыл бұрын

@@BrandonGiesing the relationship between cost and value gets murky depending on the persons economical status. Most would all at fine dining prices but to some, it’s a mere after thought and a part of life. The premise of instant noodle or convenience foods has taken on a new life with the explosion of work from home and wealth increase. Obviously the premium products have their market and they’re catering to that market. Supply meeting demand. Im not a picky eater. Tho gas like caviar will never touch my taste buds in this lifetime. Offered for free, I wouldn’t turn it down but it’s not a dining experience I am chasing; likewise for the $10 per serving noodles. If I want to get fleeced for a meal, I want ambiance to go with that.

Now they are ready for soup, chow mein, throw in all your leftovers. Budget friendly.

hey great video! just a techincal observation, throughout the video there are, for a about 2-3 seconds at a time, really high pitch sounds. I hear them to be in the 17.000-18.000 Hz range. If your hearing is old you might not hear it but for younger ears it's ear-piercing. Some examples are at 1:03 , 1:41 , 4:18 and in many more places. No idea why it's there. Thought it would be a nice feedback.

Did you get your opening the fridge intro idea from Alton Brown? I've always been a big fan of him and Good Eats and that's what it reminds me of. Love the channel!

Noodles as well as potatoes are always the main delicacy on the planet. They can't get bored ;)

what i do is i take a broth cube (match your meat or boost the vegi taste) 3dl water "one brick of noodles" (you know what you like this is 1 portion) splash of fish sauce vegies (whatever you like) meat (not tried fish) boil the cube and water until dissolved, add the sauce, if you like me like to add "hard vegetables" like beat roots, carrots, or whatever you like is "cooked" now is the time to add them while boiling fine cut your vegies, put at the bottom of your bowl of choice, these are to be served "cold" right before the vegies are done, add the noodles cook as you like it pick up the noodles + vegies and place ontop the "cold" vegies pour over the broth + points for toasted sesame seeds and a fried egg easy squeezy

I was surprised how reasonably priced the Momofuku noodles were. Much more than Top-Ramen but definitely in line with what you'd pay for a better brand at an Asian market. Mike's Mighty Good are also pretty reasonable, although the portion is smaller. For me, the portion is probably just right though. My husband would likely want more. I'd definitely have leftovers of the Momofuku if I was just making them for lunch for myself. Definitely going to try these if the shipping isn't prohibitive. I live in RI and presumably they ship from NYC so hopefully not too bad.

The Momofuku noodles taste terrible though

The momofuku noodles are made by A-sha who also makes the hello kitty noodles. They are all pretty tasty. We add a scoop of peanut butter and make peanut noodles.

I wish you would have added the A-Sha Tainan style noodles from Costco. They are delicious as well.

So when are you goanna show us how to make pro home cook versions of instant noodles from store bought packages?

@shadowtheimpure Жыл бұрын

For me, my favorite noodle has to go to Samyang. I might not always use the sauce packet they include, but their noodles are top tier.

The tastiest Ramen noodle recipe I believe is hiyashi chuka. A cold dish stacked wi julienned goodies & a zesty sauce poured over. Summer dish. Divine. Fried ramen noodles (cousin of fried rice) use Bulldog sauce. Noodles boiled, rinsed fry veggies add noodles then shot of Bulldog. Cold weather dish is a teaspoon of miso stirred into the soup, Sapporo ramen.

I think instant noodles have their place. I am gluten free and do use some instant noodles. I like the Lotus Foods Rice Ramen and the Vietnamese Brown Rice Noodles. Neither of them comes with sauce, bullion or anything like that. I use my Homemade bone broth I keep on hand. Even-though I find these noodle quite nice my favorite are still my son's Chana Besan noodles that he makes for me.
