- I've saved the devil till last.
Fire, fire, fire.
(coughs)
Spicy.
(angelic music plays)
Whoa.
Hey guys. It's Ryan.
And welcome to my kitchen.
Today I'm going to be eating
all my food with Flamin' Hot Cheetos.
(upbeat jazz music plays)
Flamin' Hot Cheetos are an internet phenomenon.
They have captivated audiences worldwide
and have grown this cult status
for being added into lots and lots of different foods.
We've done it with tasty recipes.
Rie has made them fancy,
and Andrew from Worth It has even recreated this burrito.
We're going to see if they live up to their hype
and ultimately we're going to see if there is a place
in the hearts of Australians
for the Flamin' Hot Cheetos.
Let's go.
Okay, first up taste test of the Flamin' Hot Cheeto.
I am a little bit surprised.
I thought that the color was going to be red,
but I think that that must be an American trait.
(crunching)
Mm.
Oh yes. That's hot.
Kind of tastes like a jalapeno.
The chip reminds me of a Twisties,
like Cheese Twisties, but with heat on them.
So to start off with breakfast,
I'm going to take some inspiration from Tasty
and I'm going to do my own version
of this Hot Cheeto Burrito.
So starting up the creation of this burrito,
I'm going to make some scrambled eggs.
Adding four eggs into a bowl,
seasoning with salt and pepper,
getting that in the pan,
and I don't push it too hard.
And then that allows the egg to get
that soft, glowy, smooth look to it.
I have some hash browns in the oven, baking away.
Yum. I bet Zeta would love these.
I'm halving this avocado.
And then I'm just going to use a knife to chop it up,
add some salt and pepper to season it.
Gotta get that guac in there.
Sliced American cheese,
just using some milk and the cheese,
slowly heating them together and we'll get a cheese sauce.
(upbeat jazz music plays)
Of course, I'm going to fill it with Flamin' Hot Cheetos
because that is the core ingredient for this recipe.
(upbeat jazz music continues)
This is my Flamin' Hot Cheetos, Aussie Brekkie burrito.
This is mammoth in the center.
I've made sure that we've got so many
of those Flamin' Hot Cheetos.
I feel like I've done really well with the layers too.
It's quite pretty.
Let's get into it. I wanna taste.
(slurping)
I just got the Flamin' Hot Cheeto.
I think with all the food,
it's not as hot as I was expecting.
I don't want to stop.
So I am absolutely in love
with this Hot Cheeto Brekkie Burrito.
It's kind of good this Mexi vibe to it.
I rate this dish a big thumbs up.
Why don't I invite my housemate out to give this a try
and give it a thumbs up or thumbs down.
So this is my housemate, Jordie.
- Hello.
Woah, this is a massive,
this is actually really massive.
Really weird because the chips in there are
(laughing)
not really spicy at all though for my taste buds.
Rating would probably be,
- Thumbs up? - Yeah, thumbs up.
- It is lunchtime
and I am going to be making Flamin' Hot Cheetos sushi.
This looks like it's widely available in the U.S,
you can actually get your sushi,
that's rolled in Flamin' Hot Cheeto crumbs.
It's not a thing that you can get in Australia.
Without further ado, let's get this sushi fired up.
So to start off, I'm cooking one cup of sushi rice,
put that in a pot, wash it.
And then once the water runs clear,
add two cups of water in,
boil that until all the liquid evaporates.
Next up, I'm prepping all the veggies.
Carrots, cucumbers.
Now I've gone and sourced this fresh salmon sashimi.
So I'm going to make nice big chunks to put
in the middle of this sushi.
So I have here, the Flamin' Hot Cheetos Puffs.
Now, as you can tell, this one is a lot more red.
I need to try this one because this one's different.
(crunching)
I think this one's hot, hot.
I'm going to do a bit of a twist.
I'm going to make a Kewpie mayo filling
that has the Flamin' Hot Cheeto stirred through it.
Oh, it doesn't look the greatest.
Oh well, let's hope that it tastes good.
Now it's time to assemble.
I'm going to lay down some Nori.
I'm adding on the rice,
which I've seasoned
and I'm just going to push that all flat.
Okay, time to flip it over.
Now that I've flipped that over,
I'm just going to put some lettuce down,
get some carrots on here. Cucumber.
And then I'm going to add that mayo in.
Put a filet of that salmon on.
Now I'm going to roll it up.
I'm going to add those
crushed Flamin' Hot Cheetos that I made before.
Time to slice it.
I'm going to add on some fish roe
and this is looking good to go.
Lunchtime.
Oh my gosh.
I would say that this looks exactly like the one
that you can get in America.
Look at it, it's just red and vibrant.
It looks so colorful. It's very inviting.
And I just want to take a bite.
(chewing)
Mm. So fresh.
I'm going to add some ginger on top.
Ginger has to be one of my favorite things
to accompany sushi,
and then I'm going to dunk my sushi in soy sauce.
So unique.
It's quite mild still.
There is a little bit of heat coming through.
I feel like with the soy sauce and the ginger
that really helps to elevate it.
I'm going to give this one a big thumbs up
because I love it.
But of course, we're not going to leave it there.
- Personally, I never go for salmon.
So I mean, I'm excited to try it.
(laughing)
But the color is nice.
And I think it's inviting, to be honest.
Let's go for it.
But how?
Is it weird that I don't taste the Cheetos that much?
I must say though,
the mayo that you made in the inside is real nice.
- So does it get a thumbs up or thumbs down?
- It gets like a mid thumb.
- Mid thumb, okay.
(laughing)
- So I'm just going to get all the food started
for my massive mukbang dinner.
There's going to be corn, chicken tenders,
noodles, mozzarella dippers,
and also prawns because got to put an Aussie twist on it.
First up, I'm going to peel and de-shell these prawns.
Got to get that vein out. It's disgusting.
So they're all prepped, popping them in the fridge.
Okay. Now I'm doing the corn.
Just peeling off the husk,
and that's going to go into some hot water and boil.
For the noodles, I'm just taking them out of the pack,
boiling them in some hot water for five minutes.
And when they are good, I'm going to mix the sauces through.
And now I'm adding some, crushed Flamin' Hot Cheetos in,
and that's going to make it fiery, red and zingy.
Okay. The chicken tenders.
I am going flour and then a bit of egg,
and then adding it into those crushed chips that I've made,
and now they're all going to be fried.
Corn is done.
I'm going to brush that with butter.
I'm just rolling it in the crumbs there.
I'm hoping that they stick.
Those prawns. Let's quickly season them.
I'm going to add some flour in,
some egg, and then I'm going to get those
Flamin' Hot Cheetos on there.
Make them all red.
Now it's time to fry.
Everything looks amazing,
but also spicy AF.
Let's start tasting.
First up, the Flamin' Hot Cheetos prawns.
(crunching)
I don't think the flavor really works with the prawns.
So the prawns,
I'm pretty sure they'd either shine on their own
or they would be pretty good with some chili,
but they don't need that.
So we have here the chicken tenders with cheese sauce.
(chewing)
These are fantastic.
The cheese sauce makes this absolutely, so delicious.
Okay, let's go for the red corn.
(crunching)
I'm on fire, fire, fire.
I could just eat this all day.
Now for the Flamin' Hot Cheetos mozzarella sticks.
(angelic music plays)
(crunching)
Okay, the Cheese Stringers are absolutely amazing.
Crunchy on the outside, soft in the middle.
Cheesy, gooey.
Fantastic.
This one.
I've saved the devil till last.
Get a load at those red,
fiery noodles.
(chewing)
(coughs)
Spicy. Oh my God. I'm so hot.
Oh, they definitely pack a punch.
There's so much heat going on in here.
The noodles get a thumbs down.
I'm sorry.
I wouldn't eat them again.
The taste is just too overpowering.
So today has been pretty crazy, wild and wonderful.
I've made so many different fun things
using the Flamin' Hot Cheetos.
I have to say that my top picks are
the Aussie Brekkie Burritos and
these chicken tenders with the cheesy dipping sauce.
Ultimately,
does Australia have a place for the Flamin' Hot Cheeto?
And I have to say, yes.
These are pretty awesome.
Let me know in the comments
what you think I should do next
and I'll make it happen.
Bye.
