If you are just like me and have always instant ramen available on your shelf at home, watch my reaction to Chef Esther Choi …
All I can say is Fuuuuuuiiiiyoooooo LOL
Ramen has the aroma oil and tare before the rest
nissin tonkotsu black garlic oil ramen is my favorite! and ive made tonkotsu broth the traditional way.
When you are reacting to a reaction video, you know you have completely failed at YouTube and should quit.
Reactception
Huh, my two thoughts are kind of the same
Shin Ramen is great, but Indomie deserves a shoutout as "Way better than Manchurian Ramen, but only slightly more expensive" for all broke people. (Order online if you are broke, much cheaper than at the supermarket)
You CAN add your aromatics early. But if you are making OG pho or ramen that's going to be cooking for a lot longer than western broth. I made this mistake growing up with sesame oil. If you add it near the end, you need less of it because the flavor cooks off (probably made my parents mad wasting sesame oil)
I have also bitched out an entire rotisserie chicken myself a time or two
3:00 you don't even mention Indomie. Haiya. so rude
You Westerner! Learn some Eastern cooking. Fuiyoh
Rotisserie chicken gets too much hate. Yeah, it's pre-made (that's the bloody point), yeah it's a bit soggy but nothing an oven can't fix. It's like 5 meals' worth of food for like ten bucks, how can you hate that? (first meal, leftovers, sandwiches, and the bones and skin for an AWESOME brown water soup)
Everybody always sleep on Sapporo Ichiban.
He ment use a spoon to peel ginger. I garlic u can just crush and take the wrapper off
Where's your carbonara recipe boss?
God he's my favorite lvl 2 home cook on epicourious (granted i would never eat lvl 2 stuff unless i went out), but damn uncle r and chef make him look like a baby in a kitchen
Me: sitting the middle of a ramen restaurant, not wanting to disturb ppl around me turn on CC "oh this looks perfect"
Chef: …reacting to Uncle Roger review Auntie Esther 11 ramen epicourious | I read said that all in cats i mean cuz that's how you're supposed it all in cats…"
Me: geezus, is this a Chinese ramen?
Daniel doesn’t look like Bert. He looks like Guy Smiley.
best ramen I ever had started from scratch.
You had it right the first time. It's kansui for the Japanese word. The Chinese word is jianshui (枧水).
Shin Ramen is the shit. If you can find the Black Shin Ramen with the Bone broth definitely get it. It’s worth the extra money.
Uncle Roger is correct about waiting until later to add aromatics, at least in terms of Japanese cookery. Shoutout to Way of Ramen and Ramen__lord
My instant ramen of choice is Samyang. Indomie and Shin are both really good, but I prefer the texture of Samyang.
I think one day, Muppet Nephew will go down the Nick Digiovanni route, make a perfect egg fried rice and be known as Uncle Muppet.
Shin ramen is great, but it has too much of a mushroom taste to me. Dont like mushrooms. Also Cup Ramen is way better than packet ramen. No wax in cup ramen.
The point of adding aromatic oil at the start along with the tare is to have the oil better reparted on the surface of the soup, you wouldn't want some bites with oil and some bites without
Love the videos chef, and who hasn’t come home from work/school and crushed a whole rotisserie chicken once or twice hahaha I definitely have
9:55 Uncle Roger is imho correct here.
Especially on longer stock extractions you add the aromatics at the end, so they add some "peak" flavours instead of getting mellowed out and be barely unnoticeable when you add them at the beginning.
I'm pretty sure Way of Ramen (on YT) has a video about this, or explains it in one of his many videos.
Way of Ramen is also something I think you should check out 😉
(Apologies for bad English, not my native language)
Can you stop reacting to Uncle Roger? I love you and your content but I absolutely cannot stand that guy
I've said this on Nigels/Uncle Rogers that the guy did good by Esther's opinion.
We love you weird, never stop being you cause you’re awesome. Laughing with you has become my morning workout, cause I’m definitely starving after watching these videos
I saw it mentioned that Sorted Food should be checked out, and I second that!
When will you react to “the greatest vegetarian sandwich” by not another cooking show?
your reaction and insight is great. But i more prefer if u react to original not through uncle roger reaction.
I see that Esther has a vegan miso ramen at Mokbar 😍😍 so I will definitely try to go next time I'm there for work.
6:17 It's Potassium Carbonate, not Sodium Carbonate. You heard wrong.
Wouldn’t 1 dollar ramen just be a pack of instant ramen?
