Ask Japanese tries ASMR. Challenge: Japanese food.
These are Japanese instant Yakisoba ramen noodles.
They are generally wrapped in a lot of plastic.
Inside there is a polystyrene container with a paper lid
You can hear the noodles inside.
Dried noodles, sauce, seaweed, mayonnaise.
Sea weed sounds like this.
This is the squishy spicy mayonnaise pack.
This is the typical Yakisoba flavor sauce.
And a big chunk of dried Yakisoba noodles.
Add hot boiling water up to the mark.
You can hear the air bubbles escaping though the noodles.
Wait for a few minutes then peel the back label off. It looks like a sieve.
Drain the hot water from the noodles.
[Director sneezes]
Peel the whole label away.
Plastic wrapped chopsticks.
Breaking the wooden chopsticks.
Add the sauce first.
Gently mix the sauce with the noodles. Stir until they are all covered.
The noodles will be soft and kind of mushy, when stirring.
The bits of green is cabbage that was under the noodles.
Make sure all noodles are covered by the end of it, otherwise they have no flavor.
Ooops
Mixing takes some time but it's done now.
Spicy mayonnaise looks good on top and adds an extra kick.
Finally soft, dried and grated sea weed.
This is the result.
Cathy: Can I eat this actually or was that just for show?
I can eat it? Alright then!
See how long those noodles are.
In Japan it's not impolite to slurp, but Cathy can't really slurp.
Cathy: Wow this is yummy.
[Drink magically appears.]
Cathy is trying to slurp but failing.
Gentle slurping.
It tastes like normal Yakisoba, but the spicy Mayo gives it a bit of a kick.
The sound of wooden chopsticks on polystyrene
Cathy is really going thought that portion of Yakisoba there.
Cathy has given up trying to slurp by now.
The cabbage is surprisingly crunchy for it being instant food.
That was how it sounds to eat Yakisoba. Thanks for watching.
