Thanks so much to Ryan from The Way of Ramen. Make sure to check out his channel, it's full of great ramen content and his journey has only just begun! th-cam.com/channels/uM3xKQ_D0RIMMSUh9AYxNA.html
Ich kann nur ein bisschen Englisch ich habe es verlernt
Вааааау. Это прекрасно. Никогда не думал, что можно вот так вот по щелчку пальца миксовать.
Ryan's channel is great!
My Name Is Andong
Ich seh schon ...läuft bei dir 👌
is that spoon from soviet union time ? 5:10
Great Job Andong! Thanks for having me on! I've been a fan for such a long time, it was pretty surreal!
I'm so excited to follow along your journey of Ramen exploration and domination!! Thanks for helping out man!
@The Way of Ramen
Just subbed, I'm going to binge your videos over the next weeks I guess. Amazing content!
Thanks Andong, for introducing us to such an amazing channel and for this 'beyond creative' recipe!
New sub too! Both of these cooking channels are great! Thank you!
new sub here too!
Your channel is awesome, can't wait to Binge.
First thought: "He's not really going to put Spreewaldgurken and asparagus into a ramen!?!?!?"
Second thought: "Maybe I'm gonna try this at home"
Now Spreewaldgurken in Ramen I could get behind.
It's such a beautiful thing to watch the joy you create in your videos as you cook or anything really . It warms my heart . Thank you so much for sharing your Infectious joy in food....and the delightful journey to get there.. your an excellent storyteller.
I mean pickles are not that uncommon as ramen topping. So why not Gurken?
I love pickles in my veggie stock, it really adds to the taste:)
use the pickled juice, it's a fantastic acid.
0:13 “... but before you call me crazy...”
No, Andong, you ARE crazy, and that’s why we’re here.
I'm Japanese. Love this video, nice try Andong! Want to try some!
Personally, I appreciate original ramen like this, not imitation of Japanese one (mostly poor quality...).
I feel Ramen is becoming a kind of "culture" even outside of Japan, thanks to its freedom-ness
@スパイダーマン Stop with your facts!
@@ls200076 But it's true though the word ramen is a Japanese transcription of the Chinese lamian (拉麵). It was made in Chinatown in Japan.
It's like burgers and hot dogs originate from Germany before being brought to America.
@@chilliam00 I think so. Ramen used to be called Chinese Soba in Japan.
So originally from China, transformed and bloomed in Japan as "Ramen", and expanded to world from Japan.
Anyway, for most of Japanese, Ramen is comfort food, not like authentic or traditional artisan kind of things.
Don't need to stick to certain form, just enjoy, like Andong did in this video!
@Pone Vongsouvan ..... bruh
@Pone Vongsouvan lul
I love this, and I love that you unearthed the reality of how Japanese people really seem to think of stuff like this. As far as I understand it, there is a high emphasis on self-discipline and personal excellence - sort of 'do _your_ very best', but it is too often interpreted by outsiders as some sort of rigid, prescriptive set of procedures. If we just slavishly copy someone else, we're not doing *our* best, and in reality, we're not even doing it as well as they are doing it.
Your ramen dish looks fantastic!
Did not expect to see you here! I use to watch your weird stuff in a can series all the time haha
Hello mr. shrimp
There's a reason the suicide rate is so high in Japan. They have it instilled in them from the moment they're born that they have to be perfect yet are expected to constantly improve. Life isn't supposed to be about that. Tourists usually get to enjoy Japan more than actual Japanese people do, because Japanese people are nearly always working. I would hate to live like that.
"Interesting stuff!" I think to myself as I reach for a 3rd pack of cheetos.
Same here XD
I, a stoner, approve of this message.
Tip i learned from a chinese grandmother for making vegetable soups/stocks. Char the cabbage in the oven first before adding them to the soup/stock, really enhances the umami flavour
Everywhere i look, i see people saying and roasting veggies is a game-changer for flavor, gonna give it a try.
We always do that with onion in poland
Do it for every veggie honestly
The last time German and Japan collab, it's wasn't a very good thing for a lot of people, but this, this is great
The only time I've ever had white Asparagus was in Germany. Way back in the day I was in Pfullendorf.... didn't speak or understand any German but looking at a menu I saw something that was cheese. (Fast forward it was Welsh Rarebit on toasted bread with white Asparagus). I had never seen white Asparagus before in my life, so I scraped it off and ate the cheese sauce bread. The German waiter insisted I at least try the white Asparagus. Not wanting to insult an entire country, or at least the chef...not only did I try it....I ate it all and immediately ordered another one! So I've had white Asparagus exactly 2 times in my entire life and it was great.
I didnt know white Aspargus is only a thing in germany, I thought its like Aspargus = white, and just sometimes green
@@lemoeli7329 White asparagus is actually the same as the green one. Only once the plant starts growing the stem it is buried in an earthen kind of mound and thus kept from getting any sun and therefore unable to develop any chlorophyll. Being kept from sunlight also alters the flavor somewhat.
@@lemoeli7329 its actually quite popular in Austria too. And somewhat popular in Hungary
@@kg22247 poland too! i prefer white over others, it's so yummy :)
Anstatt Sojasauce gibt es nur eins. Maggi. 😂
Exactly the same
@@officialfalconturner7874 mein Gott, dann halt Süddeutsch
@@officialfalconturner7874 schweiz tatsächlich ;D
@@steffenebener7332 hahaha
Stimmt
As someone who has Japanese family, studied abroad in Germany, and loves the blending of food cultures, I feel like this video was made for me lol
I saw German ramen before on a manga/anime called ramen daisuki koizumi-san but it was completely different from this and they are both genius in using local ingredients
Alex from French Guy Cooking should see this
He did a french onion soup version of ramen on with Mike Greenfield. th-cam.com/video/V8KR5U4KGqA/w-d-xo.html
Caster Louis wow thank you for sharing.
This is actually so good!! From the looks to the colors.
How can you be in every vid?
Also r you Malaysian? I see u subbed Ajar...
Shut up
What the f? What ar you doing here
Ikr
The squid ink noodles was a jojo's reference
Q: How much creativity do you want to add to this Ramen bowl?
Andong: 100%
Your content is SO INSPIRING!!!😍
Das ist die reinste Folter. Es schaut so lecker aus
Da fehlt aber noch Sauerkraut 😅👆🏻
Ja ich hab jetzt voll Hunger
Eins zwei drei
DIE BUTTER
This is the only german i know
@Michael Gia Huy Nguyen Kann ich mir gut vorstellen, ist ja beispielsweise in Szegediner Gulasch auch drin. Aber ich würde selbstgemachtes (rohes) Sauerkraut nehmen, nicht das abgepackte, gekochte aus dem Supermarkt. Rohes Sauerkraut gibt's auch fertig zu kaufen, z.B. bei Fairment, wahrscheinlich auch im gut sortierten Bio-Markt. Ich habe mein selbstgemachtes Sauerkraut mal zu Brotsuppe (einfach nur Zwiebeln, Knoblauch, altes Brot, Wasser, Käse, Salz und Pfeffer kochen und pürieren, war an ein Rezept aus dem 18 Jahrhundert von Townsends hier auf TH-cam angelehnt) gegeben, einfach beim Servieren eine kleine Handvoll in die Schüssel. War absolut köstlich, bringt eine angenehme Säure und Biss in die Suppe. Mit gekochtem Weinsauerkraut könnte ich mir das aber nicht vorstellen...
@Michael Gia Huy Nguyen I once added Sauerkraut in a Thai red curry and ate it with Schnupfnudeln. Tasted good to me lol.
Since soy sauce essentially comes from fermented soy beans, I wonder if you could replace the soy sauce with an even more German flavoring by fermenting your own beans. Perhaps use something more local like field peas, or faba beans. Would your tare with faba sauce instead of soy sauce be just as good, or better even?
Sounds like a cool idea!! Now I need to learn to make soy sauce, thanks 😂
@@mynameisandong Hey Andong! Quick unrelated question: somebody bumped a year old comment of mine on your channel, and I noticed all of your old replies were missing. Were you getting swamped with notifications so much that you had to delete old posts?
Also, good luck with the soy sauce. I've learned it can take quite some time to wait for the fermentation, like years even.
Why not just using maggi?
@@jassinaable Ah, Maggi, the soy sauce of the white man...
@@mynameisandong It's a good idea on paper but the Koji for fermenting soy sauce (and making miso btw) is rather hard to find and it takes months to ferment it. Not the easiest fermentation either. If you wanna add a fermented German dish (that's also easy to make), why not go with raw Sauerkraut?
me, a life of boris viewer: THE BAY LEAF (11:17 or around that)
Same thought, lmfao! 😂
ah i see, you're a man of culture as well
Andong is Russian-born tho.
And I can hear Boris saying that
Or maybe two!
THE B. A. Y LEAF
I wonder if that cool French dude Alex, has seen this video.. He is absolutely obsessed with Ramen. I would never think to use asparagus. Looks amazing
I’m sad that you didn’t swap the soy sauce with Maggi 😂
I was thinking the same thing😊
same, I was waiting for the maggi bottle to pop up lol
I saw the thumbnail and saw German Ramen, my 1st thought was the anime "Ms. Koizumi Loves Ramen Noodles". One this episodes featured a German food-inspired Ramen that a Ramen chef of German ancestry made. so I thought he was gonna make the German Ramen from the anime..
Thank you the new viewpoint on ramen. I've never been in Japan (but I want to go) and never eat "traditional" ramen but want to try sometimes and I thought I have to use japanese ingredients to cook it at home but now I can experiment with local stuffs and make a hungarian version of ramen. :D
Oh and I forgot the "kneading bag". I have to get one!! :D
Goulash Ramen here we come! :)
@@mynameisandong Yep! That's what I thought today! It will be a fun experiment. :D
Genius. Absolutely brilliant. Your best video to date. Really enjoyed you eating it at the end - your joy was palpable. So inspired to do something like this using British ingredients - and how liberating to know I don't have to try to recreate so-called "traditional" Japanese ramen (whatever that is meant to be). Thank you so much dude .
Just remember, ramen itself was originally japanese interpretation of chinese lamian. The dish itself was originally even called chuuka soba ('chinese noodle') before turning into japanese pronunciation of lamian.
Great video!
We have been talking about German ramen in the Way of Ramen Discord Channel and were thinking about substituting bamboo shoots menma with asparagus, adding Kassler as substitute for pork chashu. You could also add cured backfat to make it even richer.
actually chewy noodles are made with higher hydration as the more water you add the more gluten can develop. as for lower hydration they tend to be firmer and snappy.
The natural Yellow color used in Japan is NOT ‘Jasmine pods’, they are GARDENIA PODS. In Japanese they are “kuchi nashi”クチナシ.
You literally combined my fav food: ramen and spargel. holy mother of ramen. that looks so awesome q_q
thank you brother, your content has always been an encouragement and inspiration for my cooking hobby. I hope you are happy
I really love this video!! Extremely innovative. So funny because I too just started binging Way of Ramen.
I feel that the best creations are those that incorporate local ingredients and knowledge while bridging cultures. Thanks for this!!
Heyyy thanks for watching the videos!
The dutchies also like asparagus season a lot. We call it "The white gold"
So glad I found your channel! Thank you!
Oh my wonderfulness! Fantastic video, and recipes to boot. Thank you, thank you
As an American who lives in Germany, this topic astounds me! Thanks for making this!
edit: "German ramen?!" "Red and black noodles?!" "Rule of two?!" HE'S A SITH!
The Way of Ramen is awesome, i've learned a lot about making ramen at home from his channel and thanks to that it's one more thing I've cooked down during The Great Lockdown of 2020. I'm still pretty bad at it but just getting the noodles right felt like big first step for this amateur cook.
This was so exciting to watch!
Love your way of thinking and how you take us through the whole thought process behind the video! Top notch content!
Germany and Japan’s second best team up in history
I agree
Lol
I see what you did there.
you best for ruining the continents they belong to just thinking what Japan did to Korea
Who teamed up better?
Ok I’m heading into my kitchen for some Mexican ramen 🍜 some lemon cilantro chiles 🌶 and here we go! Oh and some carne asada 👌
Add a Pelito Fetito
i would go for some chorizo and get the oil out of it for the aroma oil, maybe use it as a topping.
Beautiful, and inspiring watching all the love that you put into creating this.
I can tell there was so much effort put into this video! Great job!
I was impressed ... You made a version of the ramen with the ingredients of the local cuisine, I was extremely curious how it would be the ramen made with ingredients from other countries like Brazil, Portugal, Argentina, United States ... The possibilities are huge .
I think its hilarious that for some reason the TH-cam algorithm has decided to play Spanish language ads before and during your videos. I mean, I took multiple years of Spanish as a kid but I've got no bloody idea what the hell they're talking about. So much for the algorithm!
I LIKE YOU. YOUR CALMING VOICE, ENERGY & COOKING MAKES ME REALLY HAPPY. 🥰
this is such an awesome and unique idea!!! thanks for all the fun that you give us!!! :D
Andong: "I know what you're thinking."
Me: "I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M THINKING!"
This video made me feel a LOT better about my "improvised" ramen dishes. Bacon and pickle ramen doesn't seem so silly after all.
the ingredients are variable. the approach is tradition. flavor from the tare, mouthfeel from the broth, aroma and aura from the aroma oil, nice good noodles. all prepared separately, all assembled on the bowl right before serving.
Wow, that's fantastic! Looks great, all the ingredients sound amazing. Wow. Great idea!
i think this is the greatest video i have every came across my entire time on the internet. i love this video so much.
The tri-colored noodles look fantastic and the idea to Germanize a bowl of ramen is unique. Can’t wait to give it a try. As always I have to veganize the recipe but since the star of the show is asparagus anyway that should be easy this time. Stay healthy!
No problem! Just skip the meat and use vegan dashi. Not sure what the best vegan oil is. But Ragusea says you can use olive oil, so why not!

Germans: ZUGRIFF
I as a fellow german can approve
Not-A-Tk -7 I approve as well
@@gizg101 that is gut.
Süper is ded
Mörli what is that mean “zugriff”?
DUDE this was the most educating, researched and fun video i have seen in a WHILE. Awesome video! Just cutting this has to be sooo much work, that is crazy! Richtig gutes Video und ein saugeiles Rezept.
Wow! Just wow!
You gave me a lot of inspiration, thank you very much!
Andong sei ehrlich, wie oft hast du dich bei diesem Dreh verbrannt? 😂
Aber Spaß beiseite, eine echt coole Idee!
Smartchef!
Your joy of eating and cooking is so contagious, I'm almost jealous
learnt some great new techniques here in one video than many others. !!! Thanks for sharing.
I've got a similar idea about ramen not being a recipe but a way of live when I red the book of Ivan Orkin. I've got to try this Spargel/Schmalz/Kassler out. Never tried to be that regional :)
Try a Russian or a Karelian ramen next? After the whole lockdown thing is over, so you can use local ingredients. Finland is pretty close by too ;)
Borscht Ramen.... mmmm
So good that you featured WoR. Really solid video!
I love how you're so excited about your end product
Germany in Thumbnail, Germans:
Eine Sprache, ein Reich
ein deutscher Kommentarbereich :)
Ohne VW Currywurst und Motoröl? Ist nicht deutsch genug.
Nee Spaß, muss ich auch mal ausprobieren. Es sieht wirklich fantastisch aus.
i always loved seeing how people from around the world recreate food, very well made video good job
I love Ryan's channel. I've been following him for a bit now. How fun to see him in your video! :)
Thank you!
I'm surprised you just now thought about using local ingredients in foreign food. As especially seen with Chifa, using local stuff to cook is a staple of chinese emigrants kitchen ;)
Wenn german im Titel steht
Deutsche: ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Kommentarbereich
Ich korrigiere: *unser Kommentarbereich. 😉
Aber immer so😂
ZUGRIFF !
For once im glad i took 1 year of german language... Kinda like my first language... But harder lol
What in the name of God is that profile pic.
andong is fricking underated. this channel is amasing! if you see this andong i just want to let you know that you should keep up with the good work! you are alwas so creative and open while trying to maintain tradition, and you always come up with those crazy ideas and make them a reality. thanks a lot!
seen and much appreciated ❤️
Excellent recreation!!
*"YOU UTTERLY FOOL"*
*"GERMAN RAMEN ARE THE BEST"*
Kono Dio Da
Me: now i have to make a french and swiss version for every season. #onemorelifegoal
that‘s exactly right, the challenge has begun! :)
Excellent video and I'm just loving this channel in general. Good work Andong. I learnt more about raman from you and Ryan than I have by watching countless other cooking videos. Plus that silicone bag thing is a game changer!
Clicked for the colourful noodles, fell in love with the German Ramen
OUHHHHHHHHHHH K A S S L E R
as a german this is even funnier
hättest noch bratkartoffeln reinhauen sollen :D oder sonst irgendwie kartoffel :P geiler shit auf jeden fall, werd mal probieren das ding zu veganisieren ^^
Mjoa, dünn geschnitten, knusprig gebraten und richtig gewürzt sollten die funzen.
Ansonsten sind Aziagurken sicherlich ein guter lokaler Ersatz für japanischen eingelegten Rettich.
This is so interesting! I make ramen too and I totally agree with yours and Ryan’s view that you can be as creative as you can as long as you respect the fundamental formula of ramen. Thanks so much for sharing!
Thank you so much for these videos
🙏🏽
You are so welcome!
дружище, сделай русские субтитры - очень много подписчиков добавится!
Blöde Frage: Maggi Würze statt Sojasauce? Dann isses 100% deutsch ^^
This is honestly amazing. I would love for this to catch on and become a trend. I *NEED* to see other creators versions of ramen using their regional flavors.
You should be proud of yourself for this one. Very impressed w your work, dude!
"But this guy has no idea, he only has a youtube channel. He doesn't know the cultural Value of REAL JAPANESE RAMEN, i don't care that his channel name is *way of the Ramen* yeah." - A guy who isn't Japanese, and doesn't even cook for himself, but shoving a frozen Pizza in the oven.
Edit: I made, "German" Ramen myself as well... but i took Salami and Onions, since i didn't had much at my home. So yeah. Made some kind of Onion soup, but i bround my Salami a tiny bit, and than glassed my onions untill i went HAM and just went so spontaniously crazy that i can't remember how i did it. Boom Soup, Noodles, Salami DONE
if you base it on Zen Buddhism, yes, it is still Ramen. Like Madonna’s Geisha Reinvention that was an Authentic expression of the spirit of the Geisha image and culture. Because it was true to the principles of the original art.
This is the most best original ramen recipe I have ever seen!!! Bravo. I subbed.
Tochi Ramen (currently located in West Bend, WI and formerly located in Shorewood, WI) had a bowl of ramen similar to this at their old Shorewood location. Being located in metro Milwaukee, which has the highest concentration of people of German ancestry among large cities in the US, they had a "Wisconsin Ramen" that was inspired by "local" (popularized by german immigrants) ingredients. The ramen had butterflied charred bratwurst, beer sauteed onions, sauerkraut and noodles in a mustard flavored broth IIRC. It was absolutely delicious and I would often order two bowls because it was so good. Unfortunately the wisconsin ramen is no longer available in their new west bend location but they have miso, shoyu and a mazeman beef ramen that will make you order two bowls.
I love how genuinely and unabashedly you enjoy food. Never change @Andong
This needs way more views
that silicone mixing bag is such an awesome trick
My cooking became a lot better when I started thinking of literally all dishes like this, great video!
Duuuuuuuude I'm so jealous oof your lovely bowl of ramen! Thank you for providing the complete recipe. Am going to try this, provided I can find the white asparagus here.
Dude me too! I just found Ryan a few weeks ago. Learned so much from him already.
I love to come back to this channel from time to time and beeing hit with videos like these. keep on the good work! your stuff looks tasty as fffff ;)
Top as usual! Nice version BTW! ;)
i just stumbled upon your channel and it's so freaking entertaining!
unprecedented way of ramen collab PLUS a very very good veggie ramen base this video really really delivers
What a fabulously creative dish! And that was so satisfying watching you demolish it 🤣👍
Very cool channel! Keep up the good work! 👍🏼
This looks so awesome
Looks sooooo gooood!!! I saw a recipe for German ramen noodles with Leberkäse etc, but yours looking WAY better :)
Way of Ramen is a great channel, nice shoutout!
you deserve way more subs for the level of your content.
