Andy Makes Ramen Two Ways | From the Test Kitchen | Bon Appétit

[@stefanslater8342]

Feels weird when garlic gets crushed on this show and we don’t get a clip of brad telling us about alicin

[@fprosk]

-I believe

[@issiebeee]

that was all I could think about

[@colina1330]

Gotta let the garlic sit for a bit to get that alicin goin', am I right, Vinny?

[@romy7408]

he didn't crush the second garlic i think!! broke my heart

[@Jinglesbellez]

Colin A 2 part epoxy

[@meowzeers]

When he was draining the noodles i thought he dropped them in the sink

[@AdamChenevert]

those sinks are like 4 feet deep

[@ebonyonce]

Omg I was like 'wow he's draining all the water so well and not dropping any AHHHHHH'

[@user-yx7dp2pl8t]

Not a big deal if it's a food only sink

[@ebonyonce]

. ....how would he retrieve them?

[@user-yx7dp2pl8t]

With his hands or a 4ft pair of tongs as those sinks are deeper than most comment sections are youtube

[@gracievallee2551]

"no need to be gentle. unless you.. feel the need to be?" wow

Being mean to Gabby is like kicking the Easter bunny.

[@darthpaulblart6669]

What if the Easter bunny is Australian. And a kangaroo

[@AdornationMusic]

Gaby is overrated unlike your comment 😬

[@dontfollowme9043]

@@AdornationMusic your mom is overrated

[@adde9506]

You haven't seen Rise of the Guardians, have you?

[@laura101cookies]

Him not scraping the blender to get all the sauce pained me a bit

[@_milkysoup]

You can see someone putting a spatula right by the blender and Andy reaching for it right before the clip cuts off :)

[@Greenteabook]

astrid I know it's a test kitchen and food is left over all the time, but you helped my food waste anxiety a little bit. It's good sauce, don't waste it.

This is the best comment ever.

“Everybody loves my noodles” Yes we do Andy!

[@AisuruMirai]

No amount of Andy's noods will satisfy us.

[@shayelea]

I could listen to Andy murmur sweet nothings about noodles all day. (Though one criticism: how can you be mean to Gabby?!?)

[@AdornationMusic]

Gaby is overrated🤮

[@Rue747]

Gaby is sweet :)

[@tiffanyylee]

tried the pesto sauce, substituted avocado for the oil and it tasted pretty good!

[@norfy]

"it's also adding a lot of nutrientssssss" lol

[@islengarcia7426]

So I’m watching this with my 5yo and she says, “why is he putting the noodles in the sink? That’s disgusting.” 😂 I had to explain then strainer situation.

[@muroadriano]

Andy there's no way anyone can concentrate on what you're doing. Please turn down on the hotness

[@BillyReefcow]

The reversal with Brad chiming in Andy's videos

[@nickhelder212]

Can we give Andy his own series, I like watching him

[@AllysonMH]

I really enjoy Andy's videos. He's a natural in front of the camera and seems comfortable. Plus his food looks delicious!

Oh my Gawd, I only recently discovered “ginger scallion sauce”. I cant get enough of it. Thank you for your version, will be making some tonite, Oh Yum! ✌️❤️😁

[@MayimHastings]

THANK YOU, ANDY! I have gnarly arthritis so I can’t hang over a stove, but I can sit, chop & blend! These both look FABULOUS! I’m trying them this weekend (but with dried ramen - who can find fresh in the boondocks?) I love your videos, please keep them coming!

[@homergutierrez6111]

“Everyone loves my noodles” I think I’m in love.

[@sightfire]

Made the pesto one last night. So easy, attractive, and really delicious - thanks! I'll probably throw in some woodear mushrooms next time around for a little textural variety

Omg, crush those garlics to release Alison. Duh. Ask brad Leone

[@sabykotian]

Don't forget the two part epoxy

[@veecee3669]

I always look forward to Andy's recipes, they are all so tasty. Also, he's so very easy on the eyes, and as an extra bonus, has a dry wit, not overly loud.

[@ohalliplease]

I love how passionate Andy is about green ramen

[@HeldUnderDesign]

You were absolutely right. I made the scallion and ginger ramen recipe last night while my flatmate was having a party and it tasted amazing. I woke up this morning to discover that more than a few of my flatmate's friends said my breath stank of onion and garlic. THANKS, ANDY!

[@Thaydarin]

For all the people with the gene that makes cilantro taste like dawn dish soap what would be a good substitute?

[@NatalieValentina6]

Thaydarin For real, though...everytime I see sauces that are predominantly flavored with cilantro, I just don't understand how people can enjoy them. It took me YEARS of exposure, to be able to enjoy tomato salsas that include cilantro. Both of my parents hated cilantro, so I must get it from both sides. ;) In the cilantro vs. dill argument, I'm 100% dill. In terms of this sauce, I would add extra spinach & try some other herbs & seasonings...parsley & scallions would probably be my 1st choice.

[@Thaydarin]

It is because for some people cilantro taste incredible. Not everyone has the gene that makes it taste like soap. I can tolerate it if its cooked to death or accompanied by something very acidic, but my cousins love it so much they can eat it raw.

[@NatalieValentina6]

Thaydarin I understand how it works, I was just using hyberbole. Of course, tone doesn't always translate via text :) I only meant, that considering how unpleasant cilantro tastes to ME, it always surprises/baffles/astonishes me that it's enjoyable to others...

[@Ntyler01mil]

I think basil is often a good substitute.

[@isagonj]

Not the same flavour but Thai basil is worth a shot

[@TheFinalProblem1891]

Made this (miso pesto recipe) tonight. Had it as written and it was awesome. Then blanched spinach, shredded daikon and carrot and tossed it into the noodles and topped it with a poached egg. Just as good, simply more rounded out as a meal. Great dinner, even the 6 year old liked it. Thanks!

[@Kdaljeet]

can we get more videos on/by Andy? I think he does a great job.

[@revolverocelotbobbys]

It's amazing how knowledgeable youtube commenters are. You guys keep fighting the fight, it's super important...

[@robertocuevas5431]

Andy Brad Clair and Benny make this channel litt🔥🔥🔥💕💕

[@katl8825]

the second one is close to a comfort food for me, except instead of pouring in the hot oil, I just leave all the aromatics in larger pieces (thin slices for garlic, diagonal long slices for scallions, big thin slices for the ginger if I don't want to eat it, otherwise I grate it and add it last), and fry it at low heat till everything starts to go crispy. sometimes I throw in pepper flakes/peppercorns too :) SUPER tasty when mixed with fresh veggies!

The miso pesto recipe is so good with a little bit of lemon juice.. Andy's noodles really is the best

[@adriensipos3457]

The only part about this that is considered ramen is the noodles, I love BA but come on man why you got to do me like that? I was expecting you to make a tasty broth and all the fixings.

[@epiccollision]

That couldn’t be more uneducated, tsukemen is a very valid version of ramen

[@adriensipos3457]

epiccollision "tsukemen is a ramen dish in Japanese cuisine consisting of noodles which are eaten after being dipped in a separate bowl of soup or broth." The noodles in Tsukemen itself do not have a "sauce" so this video is not showcasing that version.

[@haagjohnson2773]

This is literally ramen. Ramen doesn’t have to have a broth at all.

[@skryfbehoeftes]

Love how Andy speaks, so calming

[@TyBraek]

Looks pretty good. Not ramen though. More like yakisoba.

[@thealmightyonion1196]

Ty_Braek Can't be yaki if it isn't fried.

[@TyBraek]

The Almighty Onion Can't be ramen without broth.

[@krmalana.2790]

Can the ginger scallion sauce also be made ahead of time? And can the ginger and garlic be put through a press/food processor or also must be hand chopped?

[@FlashTheEagle]

i honestly can't understand why you (americans) use cups as a measurement for something loose like spinach. is a cup just filling one or are you actually pressing it down into the cup? the difference between 8 leaves and 24 is quite significant

[@user-pq3eu9lk4s]

FlashTheEagle go complain about something else that actually matters

[@TheCrathes]

/; It does matter if you're trying to follow the recipe.

[@AriesTheUmpteenth]

1 cup is 238ml of spinach... yea... going metric occasionally won't help you one bit xD

[@Bananarenana]

Ikr why can’t they use grams like everybody else

[@TheCrathes]

Mars Sonnemans No one said anything about metric. What would make sense is to use weight for something that can vary this much in volume depending on how tightly you pack it. So if you don't want to use metric, just use lbs or whatever unit would be preferable. EDIT: Also, you are wrong. You are saying using metric would be too much of a hasstle because you have to be precise for some reason. But 1 cup is 236.588237ml. So you already rounded that in your example. Then why not just round it to something a bit easier? Like 240, or even 250? I'm pretty sure those extra 2-10ml of spinach will ruin the sauce...

[@charlieamos2264]

The cilantro-miso sauce was amazing!

[@AllegroConEspressivo]

To those who are so passionate about 🌏 Asian culture: Kudos to you! 😘 But please don’t ever make the mistake of thinking Ramen means soup noodles 🍜 Nor assuming Ramen ONLY refers to instant noodles 🥢 Just because a kind of noodles is usually or was popularised to be served with broth does NOT immediately tie both things together ❌ And yes to those geeks out there, Ramen is indeed two words 拉Ra-麺Men, with Men meaning noodles. 😜 Oh and for those who also realised that is the same word in Chow *Mein* , an A+ for you lol 🥡 So yes, mentioning noodles after you said Ramen is unnecessary but is usually done to make things easier for the international community. 🌝 However if you equate 🍝 *Pasta* with *Ramen* , *YOU ARE DEAD TO ME* ! 🤬

[@Aeonleaf]

There's a huge difference between Japanese ramen and Chinese la-mien. Ofc this dude here is preparing the Americanized version. I expect some hand pulling but nope. Thanks America for ruining everything that's good and calling it whatever you like.

[@fuzzybunn]

Ramen and拉面at not the same thing

[@adybli36]

Needs 👋 more👋 emojis👋between 👋 text👋.

[@AllegroConEspressivo]

Huge difference or not, it really depends on your perspective. 🧐 The whole naming thing is a great example of *negative language transfer* in 🇨🇳 *Sino-Japanese* 🇯🇵. You can see transfer errors everywhere especially in *漢字 KanJi* , ✍🏻 the _adopted logographic Chinese characters_ in the Japanese writing system, namely the grammar, character properties, definitions ...... like in this case. This is often normal when the characters are adopted without throughout researches, like in civilian applications. 📚 The actual meaning of *拉麺/ラーメン RaMen* is _中華風の麺料理 Chinese Style Noodles_ 🍜, which is different from what these two words originally mean in Chinese *拉麵 LaMien* meaning _Pulled Noodles_ . Since there are different kinds of *中華麺 Chinese Noodles* , 💁🏻 the recommended adoption is actually *鹼水麺 KanSuiMen* meaning _alkaline water noodles_ 💧 which is famous for its colour and springiness. Now enough of 📜 history and linguistics 🔤, let's jump to culinary arts 🍳. The first dish is *OBVIOUSLY* a fusion dish, the name pretty much shouted that out - *Miso Pesto Ramen* . 🤷🏻 There's nothing wrong with mixing things up. The name of the dish also sufficiently describes the dish. At the end of the day, Andy can surely call it *THE GREEN WIG* . 🤪 For the second dish, it's actually a local dish called *ねぎ油あえ麺 Scallion Oil Noodles* 🌱. My mom loves it, YALL should definitely give it a try. 😋 It's easy and tasty, except the chopping part hehe 😏 . Okay I guess I should submit this essay now LOL 👅 P.S. Aeoleaf if you know it's the 🎌 (Japanese-kind of) RaMen, why did you expect hand-pulling noodles in the first place? 😜

[@AllegroConEspressivo]

😍 you 💖 know 😘 me 💋 so 😗 well 😚 adybli 💕

[@onepirateheart]

I made the not green one and it was delicious! I actually added in mini baby bok choy with the noodles while they where boiling, as well I added shrimp to take this from an accompanying dish to the main dish! Would make it againd

[@wolframvonrichthofen7913]

Wait. How is this ramen? Isn't this more like pasta than ramen?

[@Hana9916]

It's not pesto either. Pesto should have basil, pine nuts and parmesan. The only correct ingredients in this were oil and garlic, and if that are the conditions for something being pesto, then a hell of a lot of things are pesto.

[@wolframvonrichthofen7913]

Hana Yup, but definitely not ramen though.

[@wrathika]

I think the noodle themselves are ramen noodles, hence the name of the video. In the video itself they refer to the dishes as noodles. As for pesto Hana, you're describing basil pesto. It should go without saying that it's not the only pesto out there.

[@wolframvonrichthofen7913]

Rathika Ramadoss, Ramen for me though is wheat noodles(with the exception of potato noodles of a certain prefecture) with broth, toppings, and other stuff to make the flavor better. Since it doesn't really meet that criteria it doesn't count as ramen hence the title is wrong. it is using ramen noodles but it isn't ramen, hence "ramen noodles served two ways" may be a more appropriate title.

[@David-go4ot]

I'm on the same page with you

[@crazyglittergloss]

Definitely need to try these! Any suggestion for a soup/broth (something vegan). Just vegetable stock?

[@nashh2868]

In the end , ichiraku's ramen is better

[@sanamdavid2181]

Yummm I need an Andy in my life to make me all these delicious dishes😍

[@David-go4ot]

Where's the broth? Thought this was soup

[@ChopStixLoL]

David Friedman ramen just indicates the soba noodles. Doesn't have to be a broth. The advantage of these particular noodles is that sauces or broths stick to the noodles more than wheat noodles. This is due to the alkalinity of the noodles from the soba.

[@DallasSalladisHere]

Thats actually not true, ramen noodles are not soba noodles as soba means buckwheat and ramen noodles are usually regular wheat flour. The broth is an integral part of ramen and is usually the biggest factor in flavor.

[@David-go4ot]

All the ramen restaurants I've been to serve it as ramen noodle soup. Was just surprised to see this as ramen noodles with sauce.

[@ohheycrystalhey]

These aren't soba noodles! The ramen noodles he's using are made from regular wheat, not buckwheat

[@ChopStixLoL]

Yes I was wrong. In traditional dishes the alkalinity comes from a special water called yansui. The ramen noodles are wheat not buckwheat yes.

[@davidhennebach9114]

He did an amazing job with those. I'd love to try them!

[@officialpaullaimusic]

BA needs more diverse staff to produce these types of foods, otherwise you end up with noodles on a plate being called "ramen"

[@xyonetadministrator7941]

Ramen (and its lingusitic cognate, lo mein) literally means 'noodles' not soup or broth.

[@mrsindianmonroe]

How come I haven't found this sooner🤤🤤 I'm on a budget so this definitely helps out. And looks so good, simple and easy.

[@mlcg1500]

The green noodles look poisonous..

[@billnroger]

Tried the pesto ramen and it was delicious! Thanks, Andy !

[@TheChazzyC]

This isn’t ramen. It’s definitely noodles though. It’s teetering close to a pasta.

[@angellover02171]

TheChazzyC it's made with ramen noodles.

[@TheChazzyC]

angellover02171 hmm, not sure that defines ramen. You could easily replace it with pasta and it would be the same. Ramen is typically brothy

[@ThuHuongHaThi]

Hello, for the first recipe, is there any other kind of vegetable we can use?

[@neonnecromancer2111]

You forgot the basil and parmesan so your pesto isnt even real pesto SUCH FOOD SACRILEGE

[@alecwallisch9045]

Dark Kitsune perhaps technicalities arent what he was going for so much as just giving it a name that people would understand and relate to. The people likely to be looking for easy ramen dishes are likely to be people without much experience, but have likely heard the word pesto and understand it to be a green veggie/herbal sauce. Sometimes technicalities get in the way of enjoyment when you focus on them too much. Example, your username and self portrayal on here involves kitsune. You're not japanese, your pic has no fox elements to it, and nothing about your profile has anything to do with anything about kitsune. You just enjoy anime and Japanese culture i assume, so you threw it in there. You've got no technical right to use it, but you did because you wanted to. Andy had no technical right to call it pesto, but he wanted to. Instead of focusing on such technicalities, focus on how delicious this may be instead. I dont think anything sacrilegious could look so delicious^.^

[@lunaratlas3704]

A great addition to the pesto ramen are Bonito flakes it gives it a wonderful flavor that pairs well with the garlic and spinach
