yeah this is that college struggle
struggle ramen
[Music]
hello everyone my name is olua maya
adesuyae i am a third year
neuroscience major at the university of
california riverside
what's up my name is marcus i go to
hushing college
la in studio i'm out here studying
musical theater and film
hello my name is cheyenne washington i
was a mass communications major at the
university of bridgeport and just
graduated in may of 2020.
i was definitely a very very very very
very broke college student
wow i can't even fathom how broke i was
being broke sucks because like
you wake up and you're like okay what am
i going to eat being a broke college
student
is whack af we have to pay for parking
we have to pay for books
and we have ramen to save the day
[Music]
today i brought my nigerian styled ramen
for people to try
you know i used atagongoon i used
crayfish these are nigerian spices just
switch it up
nothing can beat this ramen if you can
find ways during the struggle to make
your ramen like really good
then you're the best and that's what
that's what i did
my ramen is coming in with a different
vibe coming up with the different taste
spices that i'm sure these other
contestants don't even know
exist or i've never tasted before so i'm
pretty sure this is gonna win
bring it on these other contestants they
don't stand a chance
sorry to that man
[Music]
so i put some chicken in here of course
to put a little chili and lime
larry seasoned salt and the ramen i used
marooching
oh okay this is giving me
my mom vibes my mom is spanish just
giving me spanish vibes
this looks like mine they added chicken
to it so that's
a different spin it's very creative
looking
it smells good who made this
i'm being serious like i'm not trying to
be mean or anything like i don't like it
at all
it's salty like are you trying to kill
me
oh my god this is really this is good
it's kind of like regular pasta
and then like chicken they seasoned it
well the only thing that has flavor in
this meal is just the chicken that's it
come on guys it's ramen the chicken is
just an accessory
season the ramen the ramen matters
it's like why are the noodles so mushy
i'm a texture person so i feel like the
consistency of the noodles is a little
weird with the chicken because the
chicken is firm and like the noodles i
really saw
to me it's all about taste and flavor
mine actually has flavor mine actually
has
taste you know it's a bit spicy i added
a little
tingle to it but this is just dry and
it's not cutting it for me
to be honest so that's why i give this a
2. yeah it smells good it tastes good i
like the chicken
the noodle texture is a little off but
i'll give it a six
my ramen is coming in with a different
vibe coming with a different taste
i'm pretty sure this is going to win
bring it on
this show dry as hell there's no way
this is fancy ramen look it's a clump
this is dry and crunchy it's like a bowl
of breadcrumbs
um is that a hate no no
could you imagine shut down the studios
yo
what yeah
i don't know it's a lot of chunks in
here i could literally
pick this up with my fingers
there we go no no no
no i can't take another bite this tastes
like somebody tried to put some cheeses
in there
is that cheese i don't know it's
everything for me it's everything for me
i don't like the seasoning
the consistency is weird go what do you
mean when they know road they went wrong
by
waking up and deciding to make it they
went wrong by cooking
period says we need to talk
a bro whoever my mama told me that if i
don't have nothing nice to say
don't say anything at all so i'ma just
leave it at that i'm gonna give it a two
because
at least they tried like it's edible you
know when you eat like some saltine
crackers you try to do the saltine
cracker challenge and then like you can
so you spit it out it's just that ball
of like
mushy saltine crackers that's this
that's in this ball i might have to give
you a zero
i'm sorry is that a rating zero zero
zero zero zero zero zero zero
okay next who made this
in this ramen i threw some shrimp in
here i threw some oyster sauce
through some sriracha some seasoning
sorry to the other contestants but
this ramen is going to take the cake i
definitely feel like i'm going to win
my first instance just to smell it you
know just to make sure i'm not
eating anything bad you know what is
this
nasty it has water in it which is
okay i guess i would prefer my ramen a
little bit more dry
this looks like something that you would
see like on the side of the street loki
like i don't like all the water
it looks like it got flooded a tsunami
hit and like this was the ramen that was
left
on the streets
it doesn't look flavorful at all low-key
look at these noodles they have nothing
i don't know if i want to eat it but i
guess i have to
it's okay i like the shrimp it's a bit
of variety
you know and it tastes pretty good
okay i said too much earlier it's
actually pretty good
what the hell the rum is a bit watery
and to be frank with you it has no color
it's just
looks great and i wouldn't want to eat
it at first sight but you know
shout out to the shrimps that saved the
day let me get another bite just a small
one
there's not enough shrimp there's not
enough shrimp i will say that like
you gotta put shrimp throughout the
whole thing
i would add my attack into this recipe
to give it color you know maybe like a
reddish color i mean
it does have it but it looks kind of
dead i'll add that taco
and crayfish to it just to give it more
taste and more spice
but whoever made this try no everything
i said on the first bite like was wrong
there's something about it like it feels
slimy i give this a three
next 6.5 and final answer
[Music]
after tasting the other contestants
ramen i would say
that i won by landslide mine definitely
came
and did what it needed to do
you
