I have that same ramen that Susan Kim used in my pantry right now. Its Amazing. I also have Kimchi in my fridge. Guess I know what Im having for lunch.
The Black version is also delish, I think the main difference is that it has a mushroom packet as well, there isnt much upgrading needed haha, so good!
Shin ramyun, cooked bulgogi, kimchi, and sliced yellow cheese (2 slices) or Cheez Whiz. All put in the bowl, allow cheese to melt atop it, then eat. Another good Shin ramyun is with canned tuna, kimchi, and bok choy.
Shin ramen is my favorite brand so far. Big ups for this video for the level up ideas. My most used level up is to pull a basic ramen flavour to more of a satay one. Add a big spoon of peanut butter, some ketjap manis, some chili powder or flakes or sambal and fried unions.
@@tarapawils6876 Enjoy. You can of course add whatever you want to that but this is quick taste punch to warm ramen and soups. In Mexico they use a cashew paste to enrich some soups and since i know this i almost always add some nut butter to my soups and some ramens.
Susan knows what's up. We used to eat dry instant ramen all the time when we were kids. My mom was more than happy to let it happen because it meant she didn't have to cook lol
yes! my fam would call them ramen chips lol i used to eat it all the time especially at school, my non asian friends always thought it was the weirdest thing until they tried it haha
How pro chefs upgrade instant ramen: Use a bunch of different decent ingredients. How I upgrade my instant ramen: Use the 'nice bowl' because I can't afford anything else.
hehehe I feel you ... for a lot of people the point of instant ramen is that they are super affordable, yet here they come and use ingredients that are worth more than my daily food budget kind of missing the point imo ... but it's mostly about being creative w/ your food i suppose
Try, if at hand, adding an egg. Either uncooked and just mix it up in your bowl or half boiled like shown. Those will really elevate almost any noodles dish! Or do you like onions? Chop them into slices, put into a bowl with hot water (nothing else) for 3 mins, add to your noodles.
For the love of god. If you cannot afford to buy soy sauce, fish sauce, and eggs, why do you even bothering watching cooking videos. I see this all the time! People say how chefs are using crazy expensive ingredients when most of the are dirt cheap. I am currently on employment insurance and can manage to buy salt, pepper, kombu, and chili crisp. I can even splurge and buy some bean sprouts.
@@theouthousepoet not sure how this viewpoint bothers you so much ... but i am a student working part time and in my world fish sauce, kombu, pickled kimchi or even (morally acceptable) eggs are expensive and cost way more than the ramen package itself ... and i am watching this because i like to get creative ideas ... I just expected this to be even more low budget oriented and not full of 'exotic'/imported goods ... dirt cheap is none of it 'If you cannot afford to buy soy sauce, fish sauce, and eggs, why do you even bothering watching cooking videos.' - what kind of ignorant sentence is that btw?! good for you that you never had those problems I guess...but maybe it would make you a nicer person
I literally bought instant ramen yesterday. I bought Harold's, Susan's, and Rachel's ramens. Cheap ramens for whatever I'm in the mood for/what I have time for. Rachel's is closer to what I make when I have more time and I feel like I wanna cheer myself up with some nice ramen
The Nissan Raoh ramen is AMAZING. The tonkatsu flavor is seriously the best instant ramen I’ve ever had! If you want a super flavorful ramen but find Shin Black too spicy, try this one!
Oh my gosh, I've had Wei Lih noodles so many times and I NEVER knew that the noodles and the soup WERE SUPPOSED TO BE SEPERATE THINGS. I can't wait to make them properly next time I get it.
I have been watching so many vids on this channel either to learn or as background neutral entertainment for years. In other aspect of my life, things are political (as it should be, cuz it affects your personal life). I really appreciate that this is my oasis where all walks of life shows their passion about how they deal with the most universal topic (food).

There will always be ppl in the comment hating whatever nuisance , but overall , most comments I see are filled with wonder if not unity in their love for the same taste.
4:23 shin is the best, but that same company makes a vegan tomato chili cup of noodles that is awesome. but shin noodles have the best off the shelf stock hands down.
Proud to see Wei Li Ja Jian Mian in the video, but Sun Noodle is the best! Some “ramen” place in the US is not even as good as Sun Noodle, their tuskemen is amazing. Not sure what happened to the raw enoki in the video though.
Yeah shin ramyun has been a comfort food of mine since I was a little girl. I’m half Korean, so kimchi was pretty prominent too. Nothing beats a hot bowl of shin ramyun.
honestly just go to your nearest HMART or Asian grocery story and buy Korean, Japanese, or Chinese ramen. Cook it with an egg and top with green onions and that's already perfect! :) or cook the shin ramean with milk instead of water for a creamy version :)
I am a huge Ramen fan myself and love these recipes but am dying to try Susans recipe with the Sun noodles. Plus I love the tip of using stock to cook ramen as it makes everything much more flavorful.
This Puerto Rican girl loves Ramen. I have incorporated into my Puerto Rican dishes and my family loves it. There's so much you can do. I had it earlier with two fried eggs and it was delish.
Susan’s recipe was life changing. You can put the egg in first with the boiling water instead of dropping it in last. That way the noodles don’t get soggy while you wait for the egg to cook!
I just watched and tried a recipe for Ramen that used Everything But The Bagel seasoning. I bet Chrissy's Furikake fills the same role, sesame, umame, salty, sweet in one (prepared) ingredient. (The EBTB seasoning isn't sweet, actually, add a little sugar to compensate.)
Me: Uh i might learn something and make a good dinner for me and my roomate Me after 3 minutes into the video: ok...i have no idea of where to get the ingredients, let's use the powder inside the ramen pack

Always nice to see that I am not a lone maniac for having a ten ingredient recipe for instant ramen.
Same, lol
It's seriously one of the best dried noodles you can buy
Together We Rice!
When Susan said “Nostalgia is incredibly provocative and powerful for taste”, I felt that.
So true. I could smell the Shin Ramyun through the screen hahah

i’ve been a vegetarian my whole life but still always watching these videos im SOOO HYPE about the addition of Chrissy!
Seeing Wei Lih shown here is giving me ALL the feels. Awesome to see 🇹🇼 representation!

Interesting. I was just browsing and wondering how BA was doing. I miss the old groups tightness and just effortless banter.

Mamee, a Malaysian company, makes flavoured snack noodles that are supposed to be eaten dry. They've been popular here in Australia for over 40 years.
i’m korean and i can confirm that it is a totally legitimate way to eat instant ramen
When I was a little girl I used to slightly soften the noodles with hot tap water but kept them mostly crunchy. I was afraid of the stove lmao
yes! my fam would call them ramen chips lol i used to eat it all the time especially at school, my non asian friends always thought it was the weirdest thing until they tried it haha
@@Josh-hk1uh try it fried with a little butter and lemon pepper seasoning
I like Chris but I knew he couldn’t be trusted in this episode.
"Not exactly street legal" 🤣
EXACTLY AHAH
Dude needs to be in prison for this
Thank you! Exactly what I thought!!!
i often use ramen as pasta, because honestly as noodles go, they’re pretty hard to mess up. but that definitely was not a ramen recipe
Susan is speaking my language here. Elevate, but keep it intant, simple.
Shin Spicy Ramen is really perfect, I'm going to try a poached egg and add some grilled steak or chicken to it with some nori.
my go-to is shin black with a soft boiled egg!
That's the one I have and it's so good and spicy.
A few clumps of Enoki mushrooms go insanely well in shin
Chris tasting the pan sauce was the most animated I have ever seen him!
More Harold please! I love him.

When Rachel brought out the iconic Lao Gan Ma chili oil, I know it would be fire! You just got another fan!
Everyone's Ramen upgrade looks delicious. Jessie Yuchen's Ramen upgrade is simple, and very attractive to eat.
Harold Villarosa is the man! He loves great food, he loves people, and he loves making great food for people. Gotta love that dude.
The crazy thing is, I’ve always made my ramen with butter. When I was in high school I didn’t know different, and it’s wonderful this way.
Considering how important butter is to having proper fried rice, I'm going to bet its tasty.
I love Chrissy! Please do more with her!
The Nissan Raoh ramen is AMAZING. The tonkatsu flavor is seriously the best instant ramen I’ve ever had! If you want a super flavorful ramen but find Shin Black too spicy, try this one!
HARD second, I have 5 sitting in my cupboard right now
@@sykoelf Same! I always have at least a few at all times!
wow never crossed my mind to poach in egg IN the broth. thank you susan!!!!!
I started doing it about a year ago, because I was too lazy to pre-boil the egg. Turns out, I much prefer it poached in the soup! Laziness FTW
Oh my gosh, I've had Wei Lih noodles so many times and I NEVER knew that the noodles and the soup WERE SUPPOSED TO BE SEPERATE THINGS. I can't wait to make them properly next time I get it.
Honestly, I did not know that until college! It's good either ways:)
Chris’s recipe is a crime 😭
Protect Vincenzo's eyes!
Agreed
Call it what you will, but it's peak white people
He's overrated
I didn't know what you were referring to... as soon as I got to that point in the video the only conclusion. yes this is a crime
Susan is an absolute gem. We must protect her at all costs.
I probably have a dozen vastly different recipes for instant ramen in my repertoire that I use on a weekly basis, so I totally love adding to those.
chris is my kinda crazy, i just made his recipe but with udon noodle and it hits
Umami is the new gourmet ... I can't hear the word anymore without getting annoyed 😄😄
5:10 Susan is right. I always eat my Shin Ramyun with kimchi 🤣 and her recipe pretty much what I make everytim I eat Shin Ramyun
So nice to see a gourmet plant based chef. Thanks Chrissy 🥰
Agreed! I watch these for her take!
The plant based chef was amazing and made me want to risk the spice level! 🔥

Yes my girl Susan showcasing the shin with kimchi! Doing it up right
Okay I need to know more about this liquid gold garlic condiment!! I googled it and I can’t find it!
I think it's just confit minced garlic /chili flakes!
S&B Chili oil w crunchy garlic is probably a similar paste :)
eating it crushed and shaken!! she GETS IT
"Cause I'm a G like that". LOL. Great line.
Beautiful explanations … beautiful delivery. 😋
Yeah shin ramyun has been a comfort food of mine since I was a little girl. I’m half Korean, so kimchi was pretty prominent too. Nothing beats a hot bowl of shin ramyun.
I love love Chris’s recipe.
literally watching this while eating my 維力炸醬麵. it's seriously so good.
A classic!
What I’ve learned is I should also start having rice with my ramen 🧐
I like making some neoguri with a fried egg and some scallions over top. So tasty!
honestly just go to your nearest HMART or Asian grocery story and buy Korean, Japanese, or Chinese ramen. Cook it with an egg and top with green onions and that's already perfect! :) or cook the shin ramean with milk instead of water for a creamy version :)
Cooking instant ramen in a Le Creuset is such a flex
My go to Ramen is creamy Chicken with a little butter splash of heavy whipping cream and Louisiana hotsauce

I. Love. Harold.
“If you can’t handle the heat, get out of kitchen”. This is my type of woman.
More Jessie please!
Ramen is versatile. Great to see all these different takes on a classic.
Miso stirred in the broth off the heat instead of boiling it would've made Chrissy's dish close to perfect 👍 Will try it myself
Rachel's Ramen for me = 😍
Okay and Chrissy's my fav too!!!
“what i love about this is how cheap, how little money”😂😂😂 yes!
OMG Rachel i already had lunch u gonna make me eat again! That was phenomenal
Literally woke up crying today due to the stress I'm going through. I thought, "man I don't wanna cook, I want some Instant Ramen." Holy sh**.
Chrissy Tracey you strong queen! Love your style and attitude. Big fan.
Shin spicy ramen, add left over bulgogi, chopped kimchi, chopped scallions, some sesame oil and an over easy egg on top….so good!
Rachel's jewelry is always on point! Beautiful
its always indian like a queen should have
I love Jessie's! It looks actually very simple and reminded me to super nice anime food
susan’s version definitely has nostalgic feels & still eat it like that to this day
sapporo ichiban is my favourite!! it has suuuuper deep flavour for instant ramen
I'm surprised nobody did a fried ramen dish, that's my go to!
Chris literally cooked the same cacio e Pepe recipe David Chang did with instant noodles on The Mind of a Chef
I need Harold to have his own show ❤
I always got to watch these episodes with a nice meal. Or else I'll get super hungry lol!
Love Harold hes super chill
Like Susan’s version, I usually add like 2-3 gloves of garlic, duck fat, and a bit of bouillon to try to replicate the shin ramen “black” mixture
lol when your drunk
OMG Susah Shin you are a righteous shero!
chris is chaos embodied and im here for it
These are all awesome
I see harold I click
Bon Appétit these are super fun videos! Can you show them trying each other's versions?
everything about Chrissy's sounds perfect, i gotta make some scotch bonnet oil.
Are there any videos on boiling eggs? How to get the perfect egg plus variations on deviled eggs. I would LOVE a video like that!!! Please!
just search for it on youtube.. “soft-boiled egg”. it’s extremely simple you just have to decide if you want a 6, 7, or 8 minute egg yolk
And then after the boiling you soak in ice cold water and peel
This Puerto Rican girl loves Ramen. I have incorporated into my Puerto Rican dishes and my family loves it. There's so much you can do. I had it earlier with two fried eggs and it was delish.

Jessie’s soup and ramen is entirely new. And looks fabulous.
