If you can get S&S or Sun Noodle Company, I think those would work the best. But I tried making fried saimin using Sapporo and my husband and son loved it. You have to make sure that you don’t cook the Sapporo noodles too long, though, because they will get really soft. If you use Sapporo, I would only boil the noodles for 1 minute and 30-40 seconds, NOT 3 minutes. Drain the noodles and put the noodles on a cotton tea towel, to absorb the water. Then, while the noodles are still slightly wet, drizzle some vegetable oil and toss the noodles together to spread the oil around and coat the noodles (not too much oil, about 1 tsp per package of saimin), that way the noodles won’t be all stuck together while you prep and cook the rest of the ingredients. Hawaiian Pickle Lady’s recipe for fried saimin is pretty good.
The green sun noodle saimin packs work super good, that’s what my mom uses to make hers. If you’re not in Hawaii, I’d suggest the sun noodle ramen noodles
Chef Keoni, how do you keep the noodles from clumping together? I always have a tough time getting the ingredients to blend with the noodles. Every time I’ve made it, the spam or chat siu and egg and kamaboko doesn’t get incorporated with the noodles. What am I doing wrong? Anyone?
i use the sun noodle pancit bihon noodles which are pre cooked. Noodles need to be mostly dry and a bit firm if you are precooking the noodles yourself because of the heat from frying will continue to cook them. Lots of flipping and mixing should get it incorporated. I use a wok and the wok spatula that come with the kits. Don't skimp on the oil.
@@locoHAWAIIANkane Yup, that fried saimin from Leeward Drive Inn in Waipahu is simply the best ever… there used to be an okazu restaurant also in Waipahu on Depot Road, that served one of the best fried noodles in Hawaii; don’t know if it’s still in business in 2024….
Hi! I like to make fried saimin using the packaged dry ramen noodles. However, whenever I try to precook the dry ramen, it ends up being soggy and sticky. Any suggestions on how to prevent that? Thanks!
Use ramen the dry packs, just darain and save the flavor packets...I use butter and packets, chopped spam egg, flip the noodles in that mixture..ono..how we say in Hawaii.. good 👍
Foodland has the worse cooked food out of all the supermarkets. Even their sandwiches no taste good and their salads are just Meh. Tried their Okazuya food too and that sucks. Safeway has good cooked food and an extensive salad selection. Times depending on location has overall okay food cuz supermarkets ain't no drive inn or okazuya. But Foodland is overall junk. Even their fried noodles are meh. Maybe hire a chef with drive inn experience
Safeway has good food? Uh, maybe haole style food only. Foodland Farms, Foodland Kailua, Foodland in the west side are all great. Safeway 🤣 gimme a break!
WOW! Makes me miss Hawai`i even more!!!
That is a winner 🏆!! 😍
I never have a hawaian dish yet, i hope i can have one in the near future

I think you have to undercooked it a little because it's gonna cook more.
Onolicious !!!
❤
i prefer your green onions in this fried saimin, i dont like them regular white onions, Yeuck..the green onions is my favorite, mahalo chef!!!!!
It's impossible to find real saimin noodles anywhere outside of Hawaii anymore the only thing you can find is S&S brand and they just aren't it
Just use ramen noodles.
Too bad I live in Minnesota now, and we don’t have saimin for thousands of miles.
Use ramen the dry packs, just darain and save the flavor packets...I use butter and packets, chopped spam egg, flip the noodles in that mixture..ono..how we say in Hawaii.. good 👍
Jen... my Maui-born daughter lives in St. Paul, she said she just bought the Sun Noodle saimin packs there. She was stoked!
@marcus Johnson. She’s lucky and probably eating up a feast at her place!
Faka da one cuz
ADD BOTH, WHAT THE HELL ?
So much oil. No need oil, oil comes from spam. Good enough.

Foodland poke on the big island is really good. 10$ per lb. too, deals.
