this is really cute. Frank, who is really used to being/cooking on camera, helps his son, who seems less experienced with being on camera, and trying really hard to not take over neither the cooking nor the commentary, but is still doing his best to include all these little things that helps make a ProtoCooks video great. It's also kinda funny seeing frank seem a bit out of his comfort zone.
For the people who doesn’t know what to do with scallions, fish sauce and soy sauce and don’t want throw them away after using them for ramen: Add them to your omelette. I have a 2 eggs omelette almost everyday with scallions and a little bit of fish sauce or soy sauce. Stop eating bland eggs. Soy sauce over fried egg is way more superior in taste than salt. The soy sauce mixed with the runny egg yolks, ufffff.
@@anitaleader831 i use hot oil but canola oil/vegetable oil or olive oil works fine. No spray, the soya sauce and oil works well together :) And i use a wok, idk what it’s made of
From the fresh stuff, ginger is a great thing to have. A large root lasts a while, doesn't perish fast, and doesn't get stolen because not all people use it, at least where I come from. And it goes so well with other staples here.
OMG this is so cute. Father and Son cooking together! I love how Frank you try to hold your inner Chef back a bit and give your son some breathing room. Doyle is so natural, obviously nervous, not sure if it's the camera or the fact that he is cooking with Chef Frank. We need much more of this adorable stuff on the internet! (also, good recipe!)
I lived on instant ramen in HS as my after school snack and in college. i still love my instant ramen when I don't feel like cooking. I go to the asian mart now to get better quality ramen that doesn't even need additions.
Chef Frank: "you cannot have any of material for truly great ramen without your roomate kicking you out" Implying improvization. Also Chef Frank: "the first thing you need is a knife"
I've been to university where I was banned from having a stove or a microwave, so I cooked using a rice cooker, like the cheapest option i could afford, i could save myself from eating out too much. Thanks chef Frank for this video, it's so insightful to college students. Looking forwards to ur other videos. I'll be using my time wisely haha now that I graduated
Same here! You can cook omletes, oatmeal, beans and rice, soups, fried rice, reheat leftovers, and more. I used $10 cheap rice cookers for years. Use plastic or wood utensils to preserve the inevitable teflon.
Frank, you should be super proud of your son! And the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree. He is so much like you, in looks, mannerisms, and sound! Thanks, gents!
We had a weekly event, kitchen takeover (Küchenschlacht was the german name). We would go to a student's room and look into the fridge and cupboards and cook something with it. We would eat together and the one student wouldn't take part in cooking and do the cleaning afterwards. We would chose a new student every time. I was just so awesome getting to know the staples of different cultures and countries. And very difficult, for example one just had one season/spice: dried basilikum. But we cooked something great. 10/10 would recommend to expand your culinary horizon!
Frank this is your best video yet. Wish my dad cared for me half as much as you care for your son. My relationship with my father is the only thing that doesn’t need salt! Great vid!
This is a startlingly relevant topic for anyone trying to feed someone who shows up hangry after not managing to eat all day thanks to remote work. Doyle is a total sweetheart, so is Frank, and together it's Protos Cook! All I've got to add is, suppose you get vegetables in those microwave steam bags -- steam those, work some magic on ramen and mix.
Love it! Will def. have my son make this! Our usual: 2 C. water, soy sauce, jarred garlic, minced dried onions, flavor packet all in. Heat to a boil. Add noodles (broken up Prison Style), leftover or canned chicken, some canned or frozen corn. Boil 3 min. Off the heat and immediately stir in a whisked egg and stir for 1 min. Add some butter to melt and get creamy. Top with green onions and sriracha.
In my dorm, we had a communal kitchen. Nobody ever used it, till I cooked myself dinner at a saturday evening to relax from studying. Oh boy, did my neighbours come out of their holes quick. :D After that we had weekly cooking and that developed into a regular cooking schedule under the week, because we were five people every body had a weekday to cook on. We really had to fight, to not get swarmed by girls and guys, that wanted to get some of our food. Apparently sometime after I left the dorm, they removed all the kitchen corners from the dorms, because some idiot wanted to impress a girl and tried a Crêpe Suzette flambé and set the kitchen corner alight.
Frank, just wanted to come by and tell you what a huge fan I am. I have your epicurious videos playing on repeat through out my work day, along with some videos from chefs king and Saul and Esther. I love listening to you talk about food, it’s very calming and helps me focus.
My recommendations: Peanut butter (smooth or chunky both work), sesame oil, chiu chow chili oil / Gochujang chili / Sriracha, fried garlic, hoisin sauce, kimchi, green onions, tomato, fried ham / baloney, and/or fried egg. Mix them up and you can have totally different ramen each time.
"A lime, maybe you can use that for other stuff, maybe a Margarita? I'm not condoning that by the way... Suggested video annotation: How to make Margaritas Hahahaha
Doyle is quite a dude! Gotta try that ramen fix! Wallyworld store has cheapest ramen & cheap yet lousy rotisserie chicken which is perfect for this. And for my cats.
My favorite way to incorporate an egg into ramen is to whisk it in a separate bowl while drizzling in ramen broth slowly to temper it, then mixing it back into the broth. It adds a beautiful richness to the broth. (I also think a squeeze of lemon helps a lot with most instant ramen.)
OMG! This is so wholesome. Love the father son dynamic here. Seriously I have so many fond memories of cooking with my dad growing up, and this is really sweet to watch.
I like to put lil smokies after a quick warm up in a pan, briefly steamed carrot chips, and eggs that have been cooked half way between scrambled and an omelette and sliced into strips. add to the broth some cayenne, fresh ground black pepper, sriracha, and a bit of soy sauce and miso. and I cook the noodles separately after everything else is ready so they are much firmer. bamboo shoots are also a really good add in.
💜LOVE💜 seeing you cooking side-by-side with your son, Chef!!! 💜💜💜 Sprucing up a packet of ramen is wonderful cooking practice for everyone, not just college students. I was waiting for the great noodle debate: to break, or not to break?!?!?!
Frank, a real dad for shure! So proud! Good to see u both cooking, had a lot of fun with that vid! Need fuel - LOL! Had pictures in my head coming up with u both sitting in a sandpit ... LOVE
Instant Raman is a good starchy platform to build on. Like rice or another form of noodle. Add meat or egg, some vegetable (fresh or frozen) and sauce. Raman NEEDS sauce. Soy, BBQ, Maple syrup, ... anything.
Fun tip about the scallions/green onions If you put them in a cup with some water they keep for a loooooong time at least a week or two. its a plant it will keep growing in the cup too.
That is my favourite meal, really similar to what you are doing there. I usually use a good home made stock to add body, I think I need to use the opportunity to start experimenting with fish sauce and other traditional eastern flavours
This is the sweetest most wholesome video on the internet right now. ❤ Great seeing you work with your son and I am also dying to try this ramen recipe!
I love egg in my ramen. My son adds it also. But the curry takes it to another level!! Funny that Proto's son was eating RAMEN in High School !! His dad is a chef!! LOL
I'm long graduated from college but still love ramen! This looks amazing. My friend and I (we are both chef's... Went through culinary school together) used to make the broth from the packet and whisk in orange juice, Sriracha, a touch of soy sauce and peanut butter. Tossed the noodles in the sauce and topped with crushed peanuts and scallions. So good!
Frank... that kid is a spitting image of you! Great job, BOTH of you! Love it... I started this video, and then started looking for my Ramen packets in the pantry. Don't hold back, this is causing my (and others) to up their creativity. Besides I go camping a lot... so this helps!!!
I do a Philly Steak Reman for me and the kids all the time. Super easy and finish cooking with some baby swiss or what ever cheese you use for Philly Steak.
I break up my ramen in the packet (so it can be eaten with a spoon) Then I cook my ramen in the microwave for 4 minutes uncovered. Take out add seasoning packet, garlic pepper and on egg and stir (I mix the egg into the broth). Cover and let sit until it cools down enough to eat. I’ll try adding some of these things, I have soy sauce, furikake, and fish sauce (Patis).
Do me a favor and don’t boil miso. It will loose most of it‘s flavor when it gets too hot. Just stir it in at the end and you get a much bigger profile of tastes. Other then that, like the recipe.
As an Asian who used to cook noodles in her dorm, I suggest getting a rice cooker. Normally, we use it for rice but you can also boil eggs in it. Great for ramen!
There you have it girls! A much younger carbon copy of chef Frank. Dont worry you can still have chef Franks cooking as your father-in-law. So not bad. Haha! I love these kinda things, its like getting to know the proto family. The show gets more and more close to us. Its like they really are talking directly to the audience. Looking forward for more proto guestings.
Nice video as usual. As a poor college student, I can relate so much on having instant ramen every other day. So I also have to figure out ways to improve the flavor, from eating straight hot bowl to stir fry instant ramen. I also pre-made a bunch of toppings like ramen soft boiled eggs, cha siu, etc beforehand, and having a rice cooker reduces my time inside the kitchen significantly. I'd love to see more recipes like this. Thanks, Frank.
Like his own beef, salt, and eggs, Frank made his own son.
Well yeah, when a husband and wife love each other very much...
But did he add enough salt?!
@@mechadoggy you can have kids without being part of it but aright
Salt Master Jr.
@@mechadoggy and they pray to god and god delivers it to their window using his messenger pegions
Doyle is Frank in college form, he looks and sounds just like you Frank!
He's just Frank with hair. lol
this is really cute.

It's also kinda funny seeing frank seem a bit out of his comfort zone.
I agree, this was so wholesome? I loved it!
Yeah it is buuut we get to see the beginnings of something awesome!! Dad and son nothing better wait what am I saying does Frank have a daughter.
Your son? More like clone! Wow, he looks and sounds just like you. Great video

Also if you cook fried egg in soy sauce and add a bit of sugar it actually very good
@@cathpalug1221 i do fry my sunny side up eggs with soy sauce but never tried with sugar! I guess it’s like eggs with teriyaki sauce?
@@KarniToTheKaz like do you just use soya sauce on a nonstick pan? Or do you use oil spray and then soya sauce?
@@anitaleader831 i use hot oil but canola oil/vegetable oil or olive oil works fine. No spray, the soya sauce and oil works well together :)
And i use a wok, idk what it’s made of
@@KarniToTheKaz awesome thank you!!! I can't wait to make it!!
Doyle’s come a long way from his childhood fake cooking show where he informed us to add carrots “for color and taste”
"You're leavin' so you gotta stay close" awww frank ur such a mama hen, it's so sweet. 😊
Great video Frank! Looking out for us students 😉
If you close your eyes, it sounds like Frank is just doing a video by himself and talking to himself. They sound incredibly alike.
From the fresh stuff, ginger is a great thing to have. A large root lasts a while, doesn't perish fast, and doesn't get stolen because not all people use it, at least where I come from. And it goes so well with other staples here.

Chef Frank looks so happy watching his son make ramen and i enjoyed every second of it
I've been to university where I was banned from having a stove or a microwave, so I cooked using a rice cooker, like the cheapest option i could afford, i could save myself from eating out too much.
Thanks chef Frank for this video, it's so insightful to college students. Looking forwards to ur other videos. I'll be using my time wisely haha now that I graduated
Same here! You can cook omletes, oatmeal, beans and rice, soups, fried rice, reheat leftovers, and more. I used $10 cheap rice cookers for years. Use plastic or wood utensils to preserve the inevitable teflon.
I suggest you use a traditional filipino rice cooker some of them are small and they're cheap!
Oh wait you guys can't have stoves lolololol sorry
u guys have any tips to use ricecooker as an oven?
A ban on heating stuff never stopped us from using them.
man, who dislikes this video? this guy is precious and he treats his family the best.
17:33 the look on frank son face is priceless if only my dad woul;d give me such a feeling :{
Frank, you not only have invented food, but you have also created a very sweet teenager! congrats!! Greetings from Argentina. Fede
This is so cute and heartwarming!! Frank looks so proud, omg loved it and really want to try this recipe! The curry powder surprises and intrigues me!
curry powder is good in instant ramen.
This video made me miss my father. So lovely
"Make it from a snack into a meal" was genius. This was a very nice video. It's always fun when TH-camrs bring in their families.
Frank!! Let Doyle do his cooking .... I know you're missing him already .... so sweet ... love this father and son show
Frank, you should be super proud of your son! And the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree. He is so much like you, in looks, mannerisms, and sound! Thanks, gents!
Yes! Thank you!

This video is so wholesome and pure my heart may actually explode.
Did you try the recipe?
One of the joyous moments of life are when father and son do something together with spectacular results.
Thanks for mentioning our Lars Own Crispy Onions...they are indeed delicious in soups, on salads, sandwiches, casseroles and more!
Great product.
Frank this is your best video yet. Wish my dad cared for me half as much as you care for your son. My relationship with my father is the only thing that doesn’t need salt! Great vid!
Man... I feel like... Frank it's a great dad... And he has a great family...
It's so heartwarming to see something like this
Glad to see you are putting out consistent good videos Frank. Keep it up and watch the channel explode with viewers.

Part 1 fantastic // Part 2 the epitome of "this is why we can't have nice things"
That sounds glorious lol, it's amazing what food will do I tell ya XD though that sucks about the idiot setting the kitchen on fire lmao.
He truly is an idiot. Who would impress someone with a Crêpe Suzette?
@@realjames1 Well, I'm assuming it's the flambe part. Not gonna lie, it _is_ rather impressive if you can pull it off correctly.
Aww, just shows how social food and cooking is!

I used to do the same thing with the egg when I was a teen. You can pretty much put anything in with Ramen Noodles
I love this video, brings me back to my dormitory years. Also, Frank seems so proud of his son, cute!
Wholesome.
Try Mama noodles!!! They’re super cheap and absolutely delicious. The noodle texture is bomb and has a bit more bite.
This is the best. Big fan of yours, Frank, and not surprisingly, big fan of your family as well.
My favorite way to incorporate an egg into ramen is to whisk it in a separate bowl while drizzling in ramen broth slowly to temper it, then mixing it back into the broth. It adds a beautiful richness to the broth. (I also think a squeeze of lemon helps a lot with most instant ramen.)
I know you're secretly the culinary advisor for all the instant ramen companies!
Wonderful job, Doyle. And I can really see Frank’s parental hovering but also pride in his son. It’s so endearing.
This is like the most wholesome content on TH-cam.
i bet frank is a great dad
I love how Frank diversifies his content, bringing new people the teach him and us stuff, it makes it very fresh.
A) That looks a lot tastier than any bowl of instant noodles has a right to.
B) it’s great to see you with your boy. He’s you, but Irish!
OMG! This is so wholesome. Love the father son dynamic here. Seriously I have so many fond memories of cooking with my dad growing up, and this is really sweet to watch.
Doyle is an absolute unit... And knows his way around some ramen.
Love the father son bond they have 😎😁
Love to see how excited and proud you are! Good job Dad!
Woah gotta hear about this sesame oil in tuna salad!!

Loved watching Doyle! Wanna see more of him soon :D
This is so endearing. A variant of Oyakodon (parent + child/chicken + egg). Thanks for sharing and bringing joy to the table.
You can see chef going crazy! He’s a good sport through the whole thing. Love this video
My gosh you two are TOO ADORABLE! I'm dying...
Fun tip about the scallions/green onions If you put them in a cup with some water they keep for a loooooong time at least a week or two. its a plant it will keep growing in the cup too.
I like the way that Chef Frank left Doyle to lead the recipe, even though he definitely could have taken charge of everything
I'm pretty sure Frank waited his whole life to be a dad.

Thanks for the tip
you guys are so wholesome and amazing
Oh to be that young again! So shy! Great job guys!
I sometimes add frozen peas or corn. The lime is a must it adds so much flavour to it.
You gotta try adding brisket/thin pork belly and shrimp if you wanna be fancy 😍
We all love you Frank!!
Decided to make this. Your son is pretty clever.
What a solid idea for a video.
He is a very good kid your son be patient with him and support him in whatever he needs also you should do more videos together!
I respect frank for not taking over when he is cooking
Frank, you are definitely a dad!
As an Asian who used to cook noodles in her dorm, I suggest getting a rice cooker. Normally, we use it for rice but you can also boil eggs in it. Great for ramen!
You shouldn't assume only people on college are eating ramen..
-a 30 years old who still love instant ramen
Doesn’t condone using limes for Margaritas... links to his margarita video 😂😂😂😂 I love it
i needed this video at 3:30 am yesterday. my bowl still turned out pretty good tho. ill save this vid for later cravings!
