You may or may not have noticed... we don't really measure anything 🥹. Water should be enough to submerge the fish cakes- think of how you make soup: More water than the ingredients (veg or whatever) and a bit more cos... soup. Then you gotta season to taste- which is the tricky part for me, but OPPA does this by eyeballing + taste testing. That was super not helpful, huh? 😅😅😅

Tbh we just used it then to show how we could use it, but we don't actually use it regularly to torch meats. It's basically my personal Jwipo carmelizer/searer hehe. But this guy TAE YOON kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3zCYp2ol7iDi6Msi=YVpLu73liPH-XXDT uses it to torch a rack of lamb that looks drool-worthy. Most people seem to be all over the Searzall to torch steaks. Hope that helps! Sounds like you're doing some legit cooking 👍✨

So the difference comes with where the noodles is manufactured. In many countries, the version available is made in china (shanghai). So they taste different from the korea made ones. The korea made ones have a more rounded taste compared to the china manufactured ones that are overall spicy

Since my young daughter can eat USA Shin Ramyun which shocked me so I had to try it. Looking at the package I immediately noticed the 'Gourmet' term, instead of just Shin/Spicy. I have lived in many countries like Korea, so I have eaten Shim Ramyun in different countries, but usually did not use the whole packet due to the spiciness. One internet review actually says the USA version is spicier but I don't see how. I like both the USA and Korea versions. Differences in life are good. I wonder if there are also localized versions in other countries in Asia too such as China. I thought when in Korea, Shin Ramyun was made in China but maybe that was imported, or Nongshim stopped that due to the worries of China made food. I think you can still buy the Korea version in the USA at the Korean supermarket but at higher prices. Will have to check next time and do a comparison myself. Cheers!
@OppaCooksHere10 ай бұрын
I usually just grab the one on sale at my local (Canada) so I gotta say we mostly eat the USA one. Absolutely right, it's still good 😋! Yes, I did notice some stores here actually import it from Korea, but didn't think to check the price! It's amazing the differing palates of children, my kids think anything except Gomtang is spicy- they'll still eat it but ask for loads and loads of milk and yogurt. Their cousin, however, eats regular kimchi and can handle Shin as well lol!

I bought this same set and am planning to put together soon. Did you use anything on the ground for added protection like rubber mulch, wood mulch, etc.? Also, did you build a wood border around the playground area? I’m debating on doing some of this or just installing on the grass in backyard with no added protection.
@OppaCooksHere Жыл бұрын
I gotta tell you we just kinda' winged it - with the best of intentions!- we meant to finish it properly (outdoor rubber matting for safety etc) but then life, and 3 years later, it's just on grass. Our kids use it (not as frequently as we'd like to get full value of ROI) still and it's still fine. I gotta add though, our kids play pretty tamely but we had some wild kids over that swung very aggressively and it was dangerously nearly tipping so depends on the kid, but may require additional anchoring. We didn't though. Final thoughts is that it's worth it though - especially for first 5 years. Also didn't touch up with any weather protection and it's still fine. Wish they'd do a more aesthetically pleasing colour combo, but can't have everything, I guess 🤷♀️

2 questions. 1. Do you drain the oil? 2. What is that garlic chopper? Thanks
@OppaCooksHere Жыл бұрын
2 answers. 1. NO! Don't drain the oil! This is the reason I seek out sales for tuna IN OIL. The oil adds needed flavour. You could of course just drown regular tuna in water in oil at home, but it's something about being packed in oil that makes it taste better, that is of course just our opinion. You can absolutely do it with just plain ol' tuna packed in water (would save calories for sure 😜) 2. It's a kitchen gadget that chops garlic. You still gotta peel it- but sometimes stores sell pre-peeled garlic which really cuts down the amount of skin contact you have to have with the stinky bulb. It just minces it, you really don't neeeeed it, but we're fans. But mincing with a knife or squeezing through a classic garlic press,, same thing.

Idk 🤷 I think you need to cook both at the same time and then try it. Leaving “spicy” seasoning in heat for longer reduces their spiciness. Also, the USA version would taste creamier and greasier because it was just sitting and all the noodle grease leached out. Maybe try a more controlled version next time?
