If you want a little bit more out of your cheap ramen, consider a block of miso. At least where I am, I can get a block for $5. However, that block will have enough for like 50 bowls of ramen, so $0.05 per serving. And it'll stay good for a year as long as you keep it in the fridge, so not much risk of waste.
So I feel like what we learned is a two-dollar Ramen the probably as good as a 10-dollar Ramen. Like you get the extra noodles and you get the second egg half. You know maybe maybe a little bit more since you'd have like what 40 more cents to spend on something
As a person who sells food on the side if you saw my spreadsheets you would be blown away at the amount of work I've put into just calculating every single little thing. I have not only my clientele list and what they order I have my price page which allows me to at any point go look up an item and change the price. And then it will change it for all the recipes that use that item I have all my recipes sorted out by types so side dishes main dishes desserts drinks sauces Etc. And then any breakfast items dinner items lunch items that might fit differently in that listing have their own page as well along with possible future products that I would like to make such as a lot of the infused oils and Butters and stuff that I've always wanted to make just not profitable for me to do. I have full cost evaluations breaking down how much it cost to make the entire batch and how much I should charge along with that each individual dish on its own . I put forth so much work to make sure that I can always do my best when it comes to the pricing of stuff but sadly I hate currently only have two people that order food from me and trying to make the smaller batches so that I'm not losing money because I don't eat what I sell cuz I can't afford it for the most part I mean I usually eat some Ramen soup with an egg and maybe a piece of like chicken so you know making a meal that costs $10 to sell and I might make five off of it it is more than I can afford especially now that work is cut me down to 16 hours making only $9 an hour very rough to figure out how I'm going to live but I'll figure something out
This is a great idea. Its so exhausting to see other content creators make stunt based foods. Like of course the Wagyu beef is going to taste great but the skill in cooking isn't displayed such as your video. Love your stuff PK keep it rocking!
Simply for personal preference, rather than using instant ramen for the $10 option, I would recommend frozen ramen, which usually has better noodles and broth, and then maybe replacing the meat for veggies
Still, very cool to see these recipes as alternatives!
There is a high-pitched whine in this video when the chef is in his kitchen, but not in voice-over sections.
I use bullion for my stock
I will literally route my jobs so I can get a good bowl of ramen 2 hours away.
I have become infatuated with making ramen lately. I have spent so much money on ingredients and even a pasta maker. Ramen is one of the rare things that people should really just go out for. You will save money.
As much as I wanna make this, since it uses the seasoning packets, the sodium levels will be FAR too high for me. I'm going to have to figure out a way to make this without getting half my day's sodium in one meal.
Interesting touch with the mayo.
Personally, what I do with my instant ramen is pretty weird cause I use Hummus like you did mayo.
Mama ramen is AMAZING. When Im in the mood, I get that add some sliced sausage, diced cheese & wakame seaweed.
I have no idea how I found it, but years ago, I came across dried wakame seaweed on amazon.
500g bag for around 11£. The bag is huge & lasts me probably a whole year while using it for near everything.
Pimping up ramen. Extra touch to stir fries. Its SO GOOD
Loved the pacing in this video it was a vibe. Excuse me while I go make ramen this made me hungry 🤤
I appreciate you acknowledging the extra costs. Far too many videos leave out that detail. They say “25¢ for an egg” but leave out that up front cost of buying a dozen eggs.
Where’d you get those bowls?? I really like the big dimples
does anyone else
hear that
I like doing seven minutes for the eggs.
Hey Chef! I don't know if you kept the macros for the Ramen, but it would be nice to know them just in case we want to make either of these Ramen for dinner or something.
A slice of American Cheese will do the same thing as the kewpie mayo for the cheap ramen.
How the hell does a ramen egg cost 20 cents ????
Hey PK! Whats the difference in QP Mayo and regular mayo. We sell it at Wal-Mart but i dont know the differences
Great Tips and techniques for upping packet Ramen! Thanks Chef!
This shows the best thing about instant ramen, it's all in how you make it and what you add to it. You can keep it cheap and easy or turn it into restaurant quality.
Please tell Gandalf that I love him
Enjoying this video, but there seems to be some audio issue.
Do you think you can win in a street fight
What about a blind test w/friends with lots of different prices ramen to see just how where the price to taste changes
What about using a premade Ramen Broth. I've seen them near the Chicken and Beef Broths.
I'll take both please.
Gandoff understands economics better than most. Love this new series you are developing. I think it will do great.
Nice assist from past you to help present you in making these ramen.
Leonardo DiCaprio pointing at screen meme:
Hey, this is kinda like those food pics I sent you of my budget shrimp alfredo using Instant Shrimp Ramen, Alfredo sauce, and popcorn shrimp!
Kinda.
But hey, you reminded me of something that I found pretty fun.
I honestly do like Mama's Ramen. Especially Stew Beef.
Gandalf has spoken
Love the breakdown of cost per in ingredient. Super helpful and informative
Ending the video with Gandalf atacking you for food instead of banishing away is the best im seeing in a long time
$10-12… I wish lmao. When I was working in Airzona, you're on the money with those prices. Back home in St. Pete, Florida? only like 2 ramen spots and they KNOW that, so their cheapest bowl starts at around 18 bucks
What kind of cat is Gandalf?
You know, you could've used that concentrated broth for some tsukemen. You would have had a taste of what the Trash Taste bois have sworn by
Try tea leaves salad pls
I always thought it was chicken, or beef. Didn’t know it was pork!
If I may suggest when it comes to cheap romen packs boil it first then drain of the water because the noodles are fried in oil and dehydrated for packing the so wash then in cold water then add fresh water and reheat
I havent had pork ramen in so long, got me wanting to try again. These looked great though. I'm always trying to do something with my instant ramen too, and you given me some good ideas to try!
I love Sapporo Ichiban ramen, the tonkotsu flavor is my favorite so maybe I’ll try this with some pork when I feel fancy!
they both look so tasty and gandalf looks beautiful as always! i would love to create some but i'm the only one in the house that eats pork and i hate making food for myself is there any substitute for meat?
should also make a $100 version i think that would be a hit
Ramen ❤
I hope sometime in the future you'll offer shopping in Europe
I followed every Kickstarter you did but never been able to pledge unfortunately
Both ramen looks delicious. Its 11.20 and im hungry😂
I like the new induction cooktop
The Mama brand is one of top three instant noodle brand in Thailand. People here usually buy the Tom Yum flavour. They are loaded with MSG though. When I cooked the instant noodles, I usually mixed two flavours, add mushroom, raw eggs, and some kind of veggies. Definitely not 1$
