How Korean Ramen Is Different From Japanese Ramen - K-Town

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ส.ค. 2024
- Koreans have a love affair with noodles, especially of the instant variety. Koreans famously package instant ramen like Shin and Nong Shim in myriad flavors, with varying degrees of spice, soup base, and noodle. Though this idea of Korean-style ramen, called ramyun, isn’t new, K-Town host Matthew Kang is visiting Jeju Noodle Bar in New York City where chef Douglas Kim is doing his spin on Korean ramen.

Why would you want to make your hand made noodle to taste like instant noodle? It's like if Hyundai says "we will make a supercar but we will make it look like a Hyundai Excel."
Why am I doing this to myself again and again?
Same same
No lie. I went to a Korean restaurant and wanted to have an authentic ramyeon. I literally got a Shin ramen and an egg served to me. I know because I've eaten that brand a hundred times in college. 😑Now I know why
tofusana most restaurants serve instant noodles here. However they add something else in for the flavour and thats why they cost 1 and a half dollars more.
you should have known... in korea, ramen means instant noodles even in restaurants.
al4sake yeah legit, paid $13 for instant ramen i eat at home
Hopefully they made it well. Idk about $13 but a well made shin ramyun with acoutrements is well worth $7, $8 bucks depending on locale and weather
@@trex1448 I only got the poached egg
Matthew and Lucas are food ambassadors to the whole world. Eater is fantastic due to these guys.
We ate at JeJu last week and the Ramyun was amazing! A little pricey, but our test kitchen crew really liked them.
LeGourmetTV Recipes how much was it?
Well you could just google their menu... jejunoodlebar.com/
Cheap ass.
@@aure92 found the entitled jackass who is used to spending huge amounts of money for food
really don't know why they call instant noodle "ramen"
I was reading the descriptions and saw an error! So just a reminder: Shin Ramyun is a type of ramyun that is made by the company, Nong Shim.
*The Korean variant of Japanese ramen was the new star in the Korean food scene in the 1960s. Once dubbed “second rice,” instant ramen gained huge popularity when it was first introduced to Korea in 1963. Ramen, known as “ramyeon” in Korean, was priced at 15 won (currently 1.2 cents) when it first came to Korea and was a meal even the poorest Koreans could afford." source: **www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20151210001173*
Ironic when real ramen try to imitate instant ramen.
Imagine not knowing how to slurp noodles. What?
Props for that MP3- lossless analogy!
tbf I would expect more than instant ramen if I went to a resturant
Tbh you wouldn't even know it's instant / packaged if they didn't tell you weirdo
I️ think one thing about this that bothers me is that he kinda preaches the whole “originated in Korea thing” and kinda chastises other cultures who have takes on Korean dishes. It’s almost like he’s saying it’s not ok for other cultures to use Korean dishes but it’s ok for Korea to use Japanese and Chinese dishes.(I️ Say Japanese Bc mainstream popular ramen is of Japanese origin, but ramen originated in China)
Another annoying thing... He calls it "Korean ramen", when Korean noodles are called ramyon. Ramen is Japanese, Ramyon is Korean.
@Daisy Wong - But pork belly isn't the same as char siu.
You realize instant ramen and japanese ramen are two entirely different things. Koreans made there own ramen brand like poldo, samyang, and ofc nongshim and you're mad that koreans arent crediting where ramen came from when they are two entirely different things. Anyways korean ramen is goated
And the concept of noodle soup may have originated in china but different cultures had there own twist and versions. Japanese use different meat and fish broths with radish to make there ramen broths WHILE IN korea, they make a spicy ramen broth mostly with korean spices and msg. So what you tryna start
Hehe. A piece of noodle jumped out of your mouth 5:00
There's so many noodles, I guess a piece escaping is ok.
I can see from a first glance that is NOT a Korean "ramyun." That ramen is heavily influenced by the Japanese style ramen (thick, heavy broth, noodles, chashu and other toppings). And yes, like all the other comments say, ramen originated from China.. I hope you can go over the history of food at least a little bit so that you don't get yourself chewed by comments.
Its true ramen originated in China but does that matter? The Ramen we know and enjoy so much right now is 100% Japanese.
I don't see the one MAJOR thing that makes Korean Ramen Korean. Kimchi.
I kinda feel bad for the Chinese. You know, the country that invented noodles in the first place. They always seem kinda forgotten internationally when it comes to noodle dishes... it's always some obscure little place at a mall outside the city, compared to the ramen joints with big restaurants all over Manhattan.
Im pretty sure everyone knows china made the foundation in noodles, but time goes by peope get creative.
Like wright brothers made foundation in aircrafts, and other nations developed better aircrafts
We know we just dont say it everytime
I mean like burgers originated from germany (hamburgers-hamburg or something) but when you think of a burger you think of america, its now about who did it first but rather about who does it more/keeps making it better and all
Well, it is said that noodle is something invented by Mongolian tho..
A bowl of hand pulled noodles in a deep beef soup Accompanied delicious chilli, mouth watering pieces of rendered beef and topped with fresh herbs will never be something people forget. Trust me the Chinese are not stressed hahaha
I saw in a documentary that sadly a lot of noodle places in China that use real ingredients are having to close because the ones that use almost entirely chemical ingredients to make it can do it a lot cheaper and quicker even if the additives are terrible health wise and the chemicals give the population serious health conditions.
Korean noodles = "Ramyon", not "Korean ramen".
Japanese noodles = "Ramen".
But they are the same thing. There is nothing Korean about this ramen apart from the chef.
I'm not talking about the food in the video. I'm talking about how it's called in general.
How do you control the raw freshness of packaged dried noodles. Large industrial made noodles will always have the need to be lowered in price with the cost of not being so natural and fresh any longer.
"herb oil dabbed on top" - video shows squirt bottle blowing a quarter of a cup of oil into the bowl lulz...
I lost it when he compared the ramen to a FLAC over an mp3 audio file 🤣
I was first introduced to ramen by a Japanese co-worker. She would eat the stuff at least once a week
They are both good, but Japanese ramen is like so damn good. Love it! 🍲
The ENTIRE POINT of the video was to explore KOREAN RAMYEON and at this particular restaurant.
Let's talk about Korea honestly. Until 1910, before Japanese Empire occupied Korean peninsula, There was the slave system in Korea (Chosun, 노비 제도). At least a half of Korean people were slaves at that times. Japanese Empire liberated them to free citizen. Lots of Korean really welcome Japanese Empire and then Japanese Empire made public school education system in Korea peninsula for the first time. They all received the same education system without discrimination in their class. Most of Korean did not do independence movement activity during the Japanese colonial times. After WW2, America and Britain tried to find Korean independent activist but failed to find anyone. and come to now, North Korea has no need to say, and South Korea look like they have pursued democracy since 1987, but they have done from 93% to 97% votes for regional tribalism. Indeed South Korea did not democracy but they did ethnocracy. Furthermore, the Cold War has been over for over 40 years, but South and North, both of Koreans failed to unite to one Korea. In addition, Koreans say that Hangul their own character is the best character in the universe. However, Hangul was used after 1970s officially. Until then, they all lived depending on Chinese characters for more thousand years ago. Even until the 1990s, all legal document in law were Chinese characters. furthermore Hangul is pure phonetic alphabet character, so that's benefits or damages have not yet been verified. The name of Jeju in this video, Do you know the history of Jeju? after WW2, Jeju is the most protesting against Republic of Korea establishment and took place first huge armed rebellion. They followed North Korea and Kim's family at that times and they still commemorates 4.3 Jeju rebellion.
Meh the way it's prepared still mimics japanese ramen a lot. It's more like japanese ramen with a korean spin on it than "purely korean".
No, there is nothing Korean about this ramen.
It is ramen cocked by Korean, instead of Korean ramen.
honestly, I still prefer Japanese over korean noodlea. I don't taste anything but kimchi on korean noodles.
Might as well have the real thing " Japanese Ramen " instead of the imitation " Korean Ramen "
Guys, can we stop featuring only NYC? What about all the other great food cities?
Julian Scharman yeaaa i want more Seattle and Chicago personally
Food is transitional and great food brings people together. Here in L.A., we have virtually every form of food fusion and for this, I'm grateful.
Most korean ramen(ramyun) is instant noodle
I don’t understand why they are striving in doing something that even doesn’t exist in Korea.
In South Korea, Ramen/Ramyun became popular after the Korean War - when their population was recovering from the conflict and food was scarce. Now Ramyun is regarded as one of their country's comfort foods.
Where is the Korean element?
That's a Japanese copy of bonito and shiitake mushroom soup stock
How Korean Ramen is different from Japanese Ramen- one is instant and the other has an instant and fresh restaurant version. Correct me if I'm wrong but I haven't seen any Korean Ramen made from scratch that is not from a pack or is distinctively different from the Japanese version. When you order it in restaurants, it's almost always from a pack. Here they made an attempt at making a version of their own but I don't really see the difference from the Japanese style ramen, just the noodles.
im hungry now....
He bit the noodles instead of slurping them 3:22 ...I'm cringing
Ramen is awesome! :)
Infinite Athletics i never even ate ramen and i still think its awesome
I see you comment on every video I watch lol
Ramen is awesome, but koreanize everything from japan is just too annoying. Ill get flame, I know.
Anthony Wong well there's things in Japan that are from Korea, and the world is better for it.
Can I just say that besides flavor, the primary purpose of fat and oils in ramen broth is to maintain the heat and temperature. That’s why a lot of ramen rely on either a lighter broth such as shio or dashi, or with light toppings such as menma or nori to compliment the heaviness of the fats.
So basically, this rip off chef just replaced the noodles in Japanese ramen with packaged instant noodles and called it Korean ramen....
"blah blah depth of flavor, but blah blah depth of flavor, when blah blah depth of flavor"
I'm enough of a geek to admit that my associations with ramyeon are mainly from Noblesse. This looks way more awesome than what they were up to in the webcomic.
I live in Korea currently and I love the food. However, I've never had a good bowl of Korean ramen. Mainly because it's always instant.
Everything in Korea are deteriorated copies of Chinese or Japanese things except for Kimchi and ttongsul.
@@hayek218 man u just hate Korea..
@honobu yonezawa the facts are here, Japanese are direct descendants of Koreans (Koreans learnt them how to cultivate the rice) look at the sources from Professor Keally from Sophia University
@@hayek218 That's my opinion too. thanks August of 4years ago.
It's still ramen, done by a Korean chef.
It is yes and no.
But you cannot mention in what way it is "no."
It is still la mian, done by a Korean chef
So if I make this, it would be called pancit, since I'm filipino.
How about.... just use the Japanese ramen noodles and twist the broth into Korean?
Damage Dat korean noodles contain modified potato starch that make it chewy and spongy. That's what makes the difference
Food looks good. I wished they gave more info on the noodles: do they make it on site, do they have a supplier, do they use dried or fresh? There is something about the K-Town series that frustrates me... I can't place it.
The chef said in the video that they have a supplier that custom makes their noodles that are not served anywhere else in NYC. He also said they are designed to have a dried noodle like texture. Matthew also later commented on this texture.
라면 in korean lamyeon !!!
not ramen !!!
Use korean words/names/terms
🇰🇷🖖from🇺🇸🎎🤙
If that's the case then you should spell Corea with a C
being korean, i want to say this looks really good. but i dunno, japanese people have ramen down. but, i think koreans have instant noodle hands down. Koreans are kings, with instant ramyun, with all the innovations and various food combination with instant ramyun.
Cooking Bap I prefer the Japanese ramen
spot on
They couldnt redo the part when the food dropped from his mouth? lol
slaiyfershin Which part?
5:00
Hurry up and buy!!!
Looks good, but Japanese ramen would crush it.
The host sucks, too.
I was supposed to br asleep but instead i was watching eater
Does the host have 3 chins...or 2 chins...?
He is an imposter I am the original Douglas Kim. #micdrop 😁
So the Koreans answer to making their ramen better is imitating Japanese ramen? Good job!!
Yeah i like Ramyun since there's no many Japanese instant ramen available in market because average of ramen served in ramen bar.
He ate 3 bowls of Ramen?? All that fluid man.
today we learn to make Korean ramen delicious! wut? pretty pretentious within 30 seconds.
Americans may love ramen for those qualities noted in the video but let's not forget the main reason here...it's freakin' affordable. By affordable, I mean "cheap"! Where else would a bare-bones 'pasta' meal cost about a quarter? Yeah, you can up the cost by slicing a hot dog into it but it still feeds a body for under a buck. A lot of students (and quite a large percentage of today's working families) would starve if it weren't for ramen being so inexpensive. It's even cheaper than that traditional american favorite...mac and cheese!
Hey the chef was in buzzfeed???
Noodle soup. Every Asian country has one and they're all great.
For people who don't know: Jeju is the name of an island located in the Southern Sea of the Korean Peninsula. As Jeju island is the only big island isolated from the peninsula, the people in Jeju have their own distinctive dialect and sea-based culture, although the newer generation mostly lost their accent and also their culture.
This is nice to see. It would be nice if more of these places popped up around the world, cooking Korean ramen fresh, from scratch like this. As much as I enjoy Korean instant ramen, it would be nice to have it fresh, as it's probably a lot healthier.
Those noodles seem lazy for a restaurant. And there aren't any korean cooking techniques being used. It just doesn't seem worth it.
There is no msg in Shin Raymun...
There are some japanese ramen that aren't oily though. lowkey feels like this show subtly bashes japanese culture sometimes lol
Bubble Tea I thought it was weird too that the chef said ramen soups is usually oily, which isn't true. There are a few kinds of soup bases I can think of offhand that are clean and light (while still being flavorful).
Yea in another video with Korean Sashimi, he kinda kinda claims that the sauces used in Korean Sashimi is superior because it had more flavors and such. He can say that they are different but he need not say the qualities of similar Japanese food are bad
Koreans cannot even make proper knives to cut sashimi to start with.
Japanese occupation of Korea left deep scars to many of the Koreans, from 1910 to 1945 when occupation ended. Although Matthew himself is too young to have experienced any of that, the experience left a strong dislike towards the Japanese in many Koreans (this sentiment is also strongly reflected in the Chinese). It's probably a bit of national pride, a bit of a product of being raised by parents/grandparents who were subjected to Japanese rule, but you'll often see instances of Koreans trying to individualize away from Japanese influence. In this case, by scaling up their version of ramen, it's like giving Japanese ramen the bird. What is interesting is that I don't believe ramen showed up in Korea until well after the Japanese left, in the 1960's, as instant ramen. So for the Koreans to have started from the instant version (which, was invented by the Japanese), to have moved to serving an upscale version trying to be equivalent (or better, as pride dictates), is pretty neato.
Don't be too surprised to see some anti-Japanese sentiments floating around; I've noticed it in a lot of Korean-influenced programming. I can't blame them, especially given Japan's less-than-stellar track record with occupying other nations.
Ben X
>Japanese occupation of Korea left deep scars to many of the Koreans,
That is because Koreans and Chinese teach fabricated histories: CCP teaches for hiding its contradictions; Koreans teaches lies to hide their miserable history. You should read your proper history written in Chinese not your government fabrications.
>Koreans trying to individualize away from Japanese influence.
That is a lie.
Just about everything in Korea are copies, taught or stolen from Japan. Think of something that is not other than kimchi....you cannot.
>In this case, by scaling up their version of ramen,
How?
Chicken ramen is Japanese.
Dashi is Japanese.
Mashroom dashi is Japanese.
What is Korean about this "Korean ramen"? ...... nothing. This is not a "Korean ramen," but it is "a ramen made by Korean."
This is how Korean steal other cultures.
>given Japan's less-than-stellar track record with occupying other nations.
????????????
Like what?
Wow, I love K Town in NYC. Putting this on my list for a chilly day visit. Really made me hungry!
How are u gonna go taste ramen but not eat it the right way
I had my favorite restaurant that was also a drug front I'm pretty sure but the made the BEST spicy kimchi ramen ever
That's because there was heroin in them lmaoooo quite literally.. addicting 😂😂😂jk
This comments section needs more peanut butter cause there’s so much jelly!
ramen is original, ramyun is not. simple
Why use instant ramen noodle like and cheapen those delicious soup? They should use a more organic noodle.
Awesome shirt!! Used to live right next to Heirloom Market. Those broths have inspired me to make my own as the weather cools down.
Of course MSG is naturally occurring (such as in tomatoes) and Harold McGee debunked the 'Chinese Restaurant Syndrome' where people claimed to be affected by the MSG content. Yes too much salt is probably not great for you but MSG is in so many foods simply naturally to give you the umami experience that the fear of it should really be gone by now. Just make it delicious.
Guys I don't see him bashing on Japanese ramen at all. He's merely saying, "hey Japanese ramen has been popular in the states, but let's give Korean ramyeon or a spin on the Japanese ramen with Korean flavors a try"
There is nothing about Korean in this ramen.
This is not a Korean ramen, but merely a ramen made by a Korean.
August Hayek chill..you have made like 12 comments on this video bashing Koreans just relax you sound bitter
@@hayek218 Japanese just can't handle when Korean does it better. If you go to Yahoo Japan and read any news about Korean, comment section are filled with jealousy and hate comments, it tells what type of people Japanese are, such a disappointment.
@@grow1820
???????
They could be hatred for K's stupid fabrications and blatant stealing of cultures and histories, but never jealousy.
NEVER.
You are hated everywhere in the world.
@@hayek218 You see what I mean? I have not attacked you, I talked about Japanese who write those comments, but you are directly attacking me.
I am Japanese too, but I have lived overseas long enough to know what is right and what is wrong.
They just can't handle it when Korean does anything better. I laugh whenever I go to Yahoo Japan and read their comments.
It is full of jealousy. Whenever Korean wins an awards or K-pop is topping the Oricon chart, all these people in the comment section are mad at that.
I want to say, just make better music, better product, better Drama and stop hating. It is just embarrassing.
This was a pointless review. There's no reason to judge these dishes or this restaurant by the merits of an instant ramen. As he said, all but one thing is prepared/made in house. This is the equivalent of comparing wagyu to a salisbury steak TV dinner (Of course the former will be better, it's stupid to equate one to the other in any way).
By far my fave Eater host. He's very informative, I always learn something from his episodes. Kudos, Mathew Kang!
Does this Ramel contain no palm oil? Thank you
And then you also have malaysia serving maggie goreng ayam in mamak. Got to eat a fancy take of indomie in indonesia.
I do not need
All that to still basically use instant noodles
Douglas kim was on buzz feeds ramen expert reviews instant ramen...
Awesome! Also I need that shirt.
typical instant noodles gets softer until mushed if continue to boil pass its package boiling time, some brands are finicky that one minute excess will quickly change the noodle texture.
But koreans say it their instant noodles turns springy and nice if you add cold water on a cooked instant noodles, sound odd but I guess it works
When are you going to make the SPAM episode?
I still think Pho is the best noodle dish. U always feel amazing after eating it
Frikkin Frikkin Frikkin Gooooooood.
Lol the same restaurant was featured on the "First we feast" channel today.
라면은 분식집에서 팔팔 끓인게 최고...! 김밥 하나 먹고 라면국물 먹으면 세상의 번잡함이 다 잊혀지는 맛입니다 ㅠㅠ
차라리 단어를 ramen말고 라면을 제대로 스펠링을 적었으면 좋았을거 같아요. 일본 라멘이랑은 다른음식이니까요
Great video!
Every time I hear about a resturant like this... it's so far away... >~< I want some too.
I wonder if he finished all of it by himself. Probably not.
The different between those nong shim instant ramen freeze dry noodles and real fresh japan ramen noodles is like the different e between spaghettios and fresh pasta
Uses bonito flakes and Wagyu beef. “Korean ramen” using Japanese ingredients. Just stick to Korean BBQ
Aaron Day bonito isnt exclusive to japan, neither is wagyu in 2017
J.L. its exclusive to japan. who else can breed wagyu?
Don Snow 99% of "wagyu" you get in US is from Australia.
Nothing is exclusive to anybody, anyone can use anything. Bonito and Wagyu are both japanese words and have Japanese origins
Wagyu is simply a type of cattle. Anyone can breed Wagyu. How well is a matter of opinion.
I used to make these 20yrs ago living in Korea when there was no ramen shops. I’d make sul lung tang, boil some instant noodle combined them and some soy based toppings like jang jo rim.
I am drooling watching this. I want to try the last one!!! I need it... *laments that I live all the way in Florida*
I see the words Ramen and K-Town and I watch and like
Why do I go to Jeju vs popping open a bowl of Paldo and adding ingredients I've got at the crib? For slightly more effort than usual I can make richer, fattier ramyun at a fraction of the cost and I don't have to put on pants. What gets me to pony up the extra money?
I love Ramen
Agung teguh you love men? teehee
Did this dude just eat 3 bowls if ramen?
Honestly though, I don't see how this is korean ramen. It's just Japanese style Ramen, but made by a korean chef.
This looks so delicious. I could watch this guy eat for hours.
