A serving that size reminds me of a ramen eating contest my buddies and I had back in college. I got to ten bowls by the time I finished. No one else made it past four bowls. They kept saying “You win, you can stop”. All they heard was a muffled “free ramen” as I stuffed my face. It was how I got my freshman 15, although doubled.
Seems to me like he made this in America. Surely you have not had American corn if you would be offended by what he said.... Canned corn is legitimately better here. It can sometimes also depend on where the corn is from; so, if he were in an area where fresh corn is better, then he would not have said that.
@@nomoretwitterhandles I’m not American, but I find it hard to believe that a country which produces as much corn as the US does could be so bad at it.
Wrong! Canned corn is by and large nasty. Frozen, if you can't get fresh on the cob, is the way to go. The only canned corn that is tolerable is Green Giant Niblets.
If you do want to do this again, I recommend a freeze dryer for the powder instead of a dehydrator. A freeze dryer makes it into something that can be easily crushed into a powder instead of a fruit roll up.
"Now, I could do this the easy way and just put a bunch of instant ramen in a bucket, but I think it'd be pretty fun to explore what making instant ramen looks like, from scratch." And people say AWA doesn't have the same vibes as BWB.
Alvin’s ramen making power level is over 9000! Great job as always Alvin! As long you are doing ramen can you make the potato noodle ramen from Food Wars next?
I don't know if a "family size" instant Ramen is a thing, but I think the joke is funnier if you imagine that that's what the noodle buckets are SUPPOSED to be, and each of them getting their own is the anime equivalent of eating an entire Stouffer's frozen lasagna by yourself.
Alvin: "Canned Corn is better than fresh corn." Me: *Anger* Also Me: *Remembers Alvin lives in New York City* No wonder canned corn is better, the freshest corn he can get is probably flash frozen at best.
To make it even more authentic to cup ramen you could have use a freeze dryer to dry the exterior of the veggies since most cup ramen comes with that and in the anime when they open it up all the toppings are on the top already!
Dragon Ball Super alone can give this channel enough content for a year. Ramen, strawberry sundae, fish rolls, “PUDDING!!”, fried meats, Vegeta’s egg fried rice... all from Super, all things I wanna see
babish as someone who struggles with having a proper appetite throughout the day I just adore your videos I love watching cooking and every video you guys make comes out looking DELICIOUS so I definitely get hungry watching them lol thanks for the great vids
Doesn't Andy have a Freeze dryer? i think you would have gotten a better powder from your soup mixes. not that it matters cause the outcome is the same. I want some Ramen now.
Agreed. His homemade powder didn’t come out powdery because it wasn’t completely dried out-it still had water in it. Ah, well. I’ma having ramen for breakfast now.
Some maltodextrin probably would have helped as well. It is what helps makes cheese into powdered cheese. Learned that one from Josh from Mythical Kitchen
I remember Whis making the Ramen look so delicious in the show with his reactions to it. That was really my biggest take away from the show. Love DBS. I have to rewatch it one of these days.
Being a dragon ball fan, I live for this. Excellent work, Alvin! If I can make a request, I'd like to see Kronk's order from Disney's "The Emperor's New Groove": 3 Oinkers Wearing Pants A Plate of Hot Air A Basket of Grandma's Breakfast And change the Bull to a Gill
Yum. What I learned from making ramen a bunch of times is that noodle to water ratio is very important if you care about presentation. Not that I ever get it right
I love the videos i have been watching for 3 years you have inspired me to keep cooking even thought i mess up sometimes i keep going because one day i will perfect it.
Bonito & Kombu, super concentrated. Canned corn. 1/2 C of Miso Paste. Ham. Menma. Kamaboko. And probably soda and salt added to the noodles as well. The mg of sodium in that bucket of Ramen is (literally) over 9000!
I would love to make Ramen from scratch at home, but that is a lot more waiting than I can handle. I mean, if you make the noodles from scratch you have to let your noodle dough rise, you have to make a broth that takes hours, etc, etc. By the time you get to eat, it's been 3 days and you're Famished 😂😂
I was just thinking about how epic it would be to see Babish do an episode on cup ramen. Seeing Alvin take one for the team instead is a pleasant surprise. 🍜😎🍜
Hey Alvin… Instead of dehydrating your stock, maybe try freeze-drying it instead? But please make more of these! Anime with Alvin is one of my favourite parts of the Babish Universe
Anybody else just not enjoy the Alvin videos as much as Andrew’s? Not trying to be rude or mean I just genuinely like Andrew’s personality and enjoy the videos he does more.
anime got me into ramen and now i honestly enjoy it as a quick and easy meal with custom toppings! like its cheap to buy and you can just add whatever you like to it!! its hard to describe but just.... cup a noodles don't do anything for me anymore, after having ramen for the first time and doing my own topping i just couldn't enjoy regular noodles
I’m surprised you didn’t use the English dub given how popular that is for Dragon Ball. Still, this is fitting given the recent movie & Andrew’s ramen video.
I've been trying foods from my local Japanese restaurants and have realized that the palette I thought I would have for Japanese foods if I visited the country isn't there 😥 I found I'm not keen on raw fish so I microwaved the salmon sushi I ordered, which made it taste amazing to me. Miso was okay but fishier than I was ready for, but not horrible. I'm not crazy about it, though. I had some tiny pieces of grilled eel and along with them being rather pricey, they were just...okay. The texture and taste were not to my liking. But the biggest disappoinent was when I ordered takoyaki. For ages, I just KNEW I would love takoyaki if I tried it. This, people, was the pinnacle of my anime weeb dreams. Spending a festival in yukata and eating takoyaki has always been my ultimate goal. Finally ate some and the inside was "undercooked' for what I had been expecting, making it mushy and gross (to me). The thing I was most nervous about, the octopus (tako) was actually the best part, tasting simply like boiled, unseasoned chicken. Oh...my poor heart was crushed. I asked a friend who's had more Japanese foods than me if the dough being undercooked inside was normal and he did say "sometimes". I'm not sure if that's normal, but I didn't like it. I say all of that because I think ramen might be one of the few foods I would like through and through. But that's such a letdown because it's broth, meat, noodles and veggies, what's not to love? I have no palette for the exotic and I'm disappointed in myself for that. Oh, and another moment of huge disappointment was trying the pink pickled ginger that came with my sushi. Also just knew I would like it, so I took a bite without reservation. I can probably count on one hand without using all of the fingers the amount of times I've spat something out. That...was one of them. Sweetness, tanginess and even a sort of spiciness (and I don't like spicy) hit my mouth all at once, creating the oddest mixture of flavors I have ever tasted. I'm very happy I had ordered delivery to eat at home, it was a kneejerk reaction and I would've absolutely embarrassed myself in public. The steak and fried rice hibachi plate is looking like one of the other few things I like from my local restaurants and those are seriously too close to being American 😥. I'm now thinking I wouldn't be able to hack it in Japan unless I stuck to Americanized dishes, lol.
Gotta love how Vegeta was the only one blowing on his ramen 😆
He is royalty, his table manners are wonderful!
We can all thank Bulma for that, honestly.
Tbf, ramen was kind of new to Whis and Beerus and for Goku… he’s Goku do I need to say anything else?
@@ijustexist3866
Hey, once you hit double digits on the Kaioken, burning your mouth a bit isn't that bad in comparison.
Saiyans having table manners? Not in the original Dragon Ball Z that's for sure!
What I love about Ramen is that most things can go into it. A staple when too busy in preparation, cooking and well yum eating.
Yes, anything can go in it... including this gun!
(If ya know, ya know)
Most things can go into it… but should they?
Agreed. It's a bit like soup where most if not all things can go in it to amplify the flavour and make it taste even more delicious.

It’s always Ramen
When I get a sponsor, i open it with a knife
May your broth be savory and may your bucket always never run out of ramen goodness.
Only when done well, a terrible ramen is still terrible.
Yea it is! Ramen is amazing
My eyes: I could finish off that bucket no problem
My stomach: yeah I agree, like 1/6 of that would be absolutely stuffing. No more please
I think I could eat a 1/3rd of that if it didn't have the toppings.
I think I could eat like 1/10th of it and then be full for an entire week
I can eat 1/2 of the basket
Could probably finish 1/2~ 5/6th of it if i skipped lunch and ate it for dinner
@Devin Garcia it be like that sometimes. For me drinking more water tends to prevent that but idk might just be your metabolism
This is the noodle equivalent to a chicken bucket meal. Great recipe as usual.
You needed to add maltodextrin to make the soup powder to make the oil “dehydrate”.

I was thinking he misses making Giant Food
it's so funny how what's usually a 5-minute process turns into an overnight process from scratch lol
Alex (french cooking guy) did a very in depth series on instant ramen a few years ago. Did the dried noodles and powdered soup base from scratch.

Who else is glad Babish made a video specifically for this scene in DBS to recreate this specific ramen .
Ramen is the staple of japanese comfort food, and it is so fun to experiment with it.
Going to the lengths of actually dehydrating and rehydrating your ramen is legendary

I think its awesome you take your love for food and your love for art/anime to this level.
