- Hi, I'm Beryl and in today's video,
we're going to go back to the basics,
to the early days of my channel when things were simpler
and I ate a lot more instant noodles.
It's just been awhile.
So today I am doing a Jin Ramen show down.
Before we get started the artist today behind me
his name is Akmaral.
They are originally from Kazakhstan
currently living in London.
Their work explores a lot of femininity,
and I love that 10% of all their profits
go to help homeless women in the UK.
Plus it's pretty.
Okay.
Let's make some ramen.
Okay, I'm calling this the everything but the bagel ramen
and it doesn't actually matter what type of ramen you use
because all you need are the noodles for this.
We're not going to be using the flavor packets.
I am boiling this in my glass bowl
because you get this really cool side view shot.
Look at the bubbles, drain it.
You don't need the water.
We are making our own sauce.
The sauce base is a little bit of butter.
Melted.
A little bit of grated garlic, red chili flakes.
And look at my Brown sugar.
Look at how soft it is.
I learned this from you all.
You all taught me the way.
Also some soy sauce.
You're going to mix this together
and then add your cooked noodles, gently toss them.
And in the corner of the pan
you're going to scramble one egg.
By the way
the recipe is in the description, like exact measurements.
This bowl was actually sent to me by one of you.
It's so beautiful.
And now I'm just plating it.
A little bit of egg on top
and the everything but the bagel seasoning,
a little pop of color.
And then of course I got excited
and I decided it needed more, but I'm not wrong.
I think that this looks beautiful
right?
No, no, no, I know that it looks beautiful.
Yes.
Okay, It smells so good.
And I love that we made our own sauce.
You know, that's great.
Also, before you all say anything
I got a little carried away with my pop of color, right?
I mean, whatever, it's my show.
Heck yeah.
Man, it's been a while since I had instant noodles, too.
If you don't live in America
you won't know that the everything but the bagel seasoning
is like a lifestyle here.
I'm going to leave a link for how to make it yourself.
But in essence, it's the seasoning that goes
on top of these really popular bagels.
And it's just salty
and garlicky and it makes everything better.
Literally breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
You can use it.
I give this 10 out of 10.
There's also like a bit of sweetness from the brown sugar
that makes us a little bit comforting.
I went hiking yesterday and my lips got really chapped.
And like the salt
and spice from this is burning them.
Also, I'm getting hot.
Is this like a weird shot of my shirt?
It's a Junji Ito shirt.
I feel like maybe you're only going to see the scary face.
I'm wearing a Junji Ito shirt
under a Junji Ito sweatshirt.
I'm a fan.
You know, I'm just a fan.
All right.
The rest of this is going to go
to Rajek because I have one more to make.
After I eat this egg.
Okay, next one.
All right.
Next ramen, we're calling this, the Kewpie ramen.
This was sent to me on Instagram and it looked really good.
I'm reusing the same pot.
I didn't clean it and I didn't think anyone would notice.
And then I saw that.
So I'm, I'm just going to acknowledge it.
That way we can all move on.
Noodles are cooked.
We're saving the liquid and quickly making an addition.
So it's a raw egg adding the Kewpie.
Boop.
And then to that, we're going to add the powder soup.
I'm using a spicy pack.
Cause I thought it will be fun and a little bit of garlic.
And then just whisk this together.
Whisk, whisk, whisk, whisk, whisk.
And now you're going to add the boiling water
into said mixture and look at that beautiful color.
We're going to combine the two
in another bowl that was made by one of you.
Oh my God.
The crackling is just to die for.
I'm leaving a link in my description
to their shop and we're plating it up.
I also restrained myself just like a little leaf.
I'm feeling okay about that, but I'm ready to eat it.
I changed my shirt cause I have multiple.
I want to wear them all.
I felt like now it was a theme.
Okay.
Final ramen in a very pretty bowl.
And this one's all about the sauce.
I like the idea of the egg being cooked with the hot water.
That's fun.
Oh my God.
That broth is so yummy.
Man.
Oh, it's spicy.
Oh my God.
That's okay.
We're okay.
My chapped lips are dying.
Kewpie mayonnaise has a flavor profile that is
just far superior to any sort of American mayonnaise.
And I'll say it it's even better than aioli.
If you wanted to dress this up
and make like a full on ramen
with like an egg and some seaweed
like this would be so fricking good.
I would have never thought to make a broth
like that with just like the egg and the mayonnaise.
It's good.
Did I say that it's good?
How do people do those thumbnails?
Like, whoa.
I think between the two
I think I liked the first one a little bit more, but that's
because I am more of like a dry noodle kind of girl.
This was really fun though.
And it felt like a blast from the past and oh God.
Oh, it's in my eye.
(playful music)
That was weird cause I was like about to wrap up the video.
If you have any other recipes
of like your instant noodle upgrades,
leave them in the comments and maybe I should do this again
like sooner than in three months.
Okay, T T Y L.
