Feeling hungry? Well good. Because in this episode, we're doing instant noodle hacks!
So you know when you're done with your noodles and you've got all these left over bits at the bottom
and you kinda don't want to eat it because maybe you're full or you just don't like the bits.
So usually when people want to drain the soup they will do it this way but all the bits will still come out.
And it's very time consuming.
I'm gonna teach you how to do it a much easier way.
So I'm gonna turn this around.
I've still got the lid on.
You wanna poke holes on the opposite side of where it's opened.
And then you're gonna drain away.
Really easy.
Just to show you all the left over bits.
It's all there.
So now that's ready to throw away in the bin
and you don't have to worry about the soup leaking everywhere.
Did you know that you actually don't need a stove to fire up some noodles?
Did you know you don't need to fire up a stove to cook instant noodles?
So all you need to do to cook your instant noodles is put it in a bowl.
So I'm gonna add the flavoring now.
Add the hot water.
Cover it with a plate big enough to cover your bowl.
And just let it sit for about three minutes.
I'm salivating...
Oh my god...
I'm always like... I love instant noodles.
Alrighty, so I think the noodles are ready.
And look at this!
The noodles they are actually just right.
So this is good when you are in a hotel or dorm room
and you don't have a stove and you only have a kettle.
Boing! Boing!
Now if you still prefer to cook instant noodles on the stove
here's a much faster way to do so.
So all you have to do is to boil the water in the kettle first
rather than boiling on the stove.
Because boiling it on the stove takes a lot longer my friends
and I'm gonna prove that to you right now.
So I'm gonna put the same amount of water in both the kettle and the pot.
So I'm gonna set both the kettle and the pot boiling at the same time.
And so far it's been a minute and thirty seconds.
The kettle is done people.
And look at this.
The pot hasn't even started boiling yet man.
So now it's been about four and a half minutes
and it hasn't even started boiling yet.
It's still not boiling.
And it's on high.
So the kettle took one and a half minutes
and now this is been about nine minutes.
It takes...
Seven times longer.
Nine times longer...
Eh? Eight times...
It's too much MSG...
Clearly it takes a lot longer to boil the water on the stove.
So next time if you're cooking instant noodles or anything that needs to add water.
Use the kettle first people.
It's a lot faster.
I'm gonna turn this off because I'm so hot.
We need to go to the air-con.
Get out of this kitchen.
I'm starting to get boob sweat.
So say you've left some noodles on the stove
and you're too busy chit chatting away
and you left the noodles for too long and they get really soggy just like this.
So I'm gonna teach you a good way
To stiffen up your noodles again?
Don't waste food people.
I'm gonna do half so that we can compare it later.
I'm gonna dip my noodles in ice water.
So not only does it stop the cooking process it makes it a lot mes...
A lot le musee
It makes it a lot less mushy.
Yes it's cold noodles you all must be probably wondering.
But you'll put the hot soup over it later on so it'll warm it back up again.
I got my cold noodles here and I got my overly soggy noodles over here.
I'm gonna test it with my own fingers.
So this is very kinda mushy.
So you can see that it's overcooked.
Try the same thing with the cold noodle.
I'm pushing it and you can see that it's not as mushy.
It feels a lot more springy and there's a lot more bounce to it.
Yes! Noodles saved!
So another great lazy way to cook noodles is to use a microwave.
All you have to do, grab the noodles that you want.
Break it into four.
Put it in a bowl.
Add water.
Now I'm just gonna put it in the microwave for about two minutes.
Two...one...
So right about now I'm gonna add some seasoning.
I'm gonna put it in for another thirty seconds.
There you have it. Instant noodles cooked in two and a half minutes.
So I'm sure many of you have heard about the fire noodles challenge.
And there are some people out there that can't take spice.
So here's a simple hack to make the spice not so spicy.
Not only that, it's just a different way to cook this kind of noodles.
So now I'm gonna slightly under cook the noodles so that it's not fully soggy.
So next up, I'm just gonna heat up a glass of milk.
Just so it gets warm so when it starts boiling a little bit that's when you know it's ready.
And then after that I will add the noodles.
I'm gonna add the sauce.
Wah look at the oil.
You can tell it's hot.
Add the egg.
And then after all of that, I'm gonna add around three slices of cheese.
So what this does it actually thickens everything up.
And it will take away the spice.
So now it's done I'm gonna just add the garnish.
And there you go. Korean fire noodles done differently.
You still have the flavour there. I guess it's less spicy.
It's more creamy. It's like an asian carbonara.
We have a crew member here that can't take spice.
So she's gonna eat it.
Tell them not me.
She's so shy.
Why you so shy?
On the scale from 1 to 10 how spicy is it?
Two.
So there you have it. It still has the Korean noodles flavour.
But the spice is tone down by a lot.
So win win. Now you can try it.
So beat the egg.
So I'm gonna put the noodles in the egg.
It looks like snot.
So just pat it down and put it in the fridge for about 15 mins.
I'm gonna put the noodles in the pan just like this.
Add the cheese.
And then I'm gonna put the other half on top of that.
Aright! And I think we are done.
Argh...
Oh it's really gross.
I think it's absolutely repulsive.
Maybe it's because there's not much flavor to it I guess.
You know what guys. Don't try this hack.
Get rid of it. It's disgusting.
