If you look over Oliver's career it makes perfect sense. He tried to shame US school lunch programs, but his substitute menu didn't meet minimum nutritional guidelines. Tried to turn poor kids against eating chicken nuggets by showing them how they are made, then couldn't believe it when they didn't care.

Japanese here. Putting spinach in ramen is pretty common among special variant of ramen which is called 家系 (Iekei). These ramen shops all share the same root from 吉村家 (Yoshimuraya), so that's why they are called "ie" (家 coming from the 3rd letter of 吉村家) and "kei" (系 literally means series). Because Yoshimuraya used boiled spinach, all other iekei ramen uses it as well. But the amount of spinach Jamie put in ramen just cracked me up. And the use of soba was outrageous. It's like making a hotdog and and call it a hamburger in the U.S.

[@erickellar5867]

Im personally not a fan of spinach in ramen. Its okay wont complain if im served just a little in my ramen. Doubt it ads much flavor or texture probably just increases the volume and adds a bit of healthy veg. But the way jamie added a literal compressed ball of ramen is so weird just big mouthful of spinach super weird unless he uses chopsticks to break it apart while eating. But even then breaking it apart before serving is probably way better

[@link99912]

@@erickellar5867 Iekei is my favorite type of ramen, and I think the spinach actually works really well in it. They generally don't put in a ton- it kind of gets saturated with the broth, and tastes very salty and strong. I don't think "healthy" has anything to do with it- iekei is not about healthy, lol.

I am not asian myself but when I see videos of white chefs trying to capitalize on the interest in Asian cuisine by releasing recipes like this it kind of annoys me. Jamie is just putting in random ingredients that are generally Asian like the miso, kimchi, soba and all this other crap so that people who don't know Asian food are convinced its legit. Jamie obviously is not at all interested in learning about the cuisine himself and trying to create something authentic or he would have done a much better job. In his position he should do research and make something properly or not make it at all, these shitty random approximations of the real thing are just annoying and shows lack of respect.

All those centuries of spice holding, this is the best the British came up with. Every time I watch a video of Jamie Oliver cooking, I feel like he's doing a Colonel Dyer to my heart and soul.

[@casperrabbit7254]

As someone from the UK who grew up in the era where Jamie Oliver was seen as some kind of healthy food Messiah, I can't help but wonder if he thought soba noodles were some kind of healthy alternative to ramen noodles, without realising that ramen is the name of the noodle and not the dish 🤔 Would also explain why he just boiled the pork without flavouring it, as well as the ball of boiled spinach (and lack of MSG 🤣)

[@liyah7168]

Oh god, please don't mention that era. I still remember when he ruined our school dinners. There was a whole army of kids under 10 ready to fight this man

[@ChefBrianTsao]

😂😂😂

[@magdolyn]

Especially as buckwheat is supposedly healthier than standard wheat, and the fact that he used low sodium soy sauce, you're very likely onto something here. Water and fad diets are the enemies of flavor...

[@MrKrtek00]

If you want healthy food, than drop all the noodle dishes which are generally juts salt and fat with lots of low quality carb. You should eat ramen for the taste, not for the health benefits.

[@magdolyn]

@@MrKrtek00 I would say that there are ways to make it a tad bit healthier, especially when the choice is between something like less sodium or not being able to eat it at all. But using soba noodles in a ramen is definitely not one of these methods. And for people that *can* eat the originals without dying, why would you ruin a work of art? Just eat it the way it was supposed to be made! The traditional ingredients are there for a reason!

[@gumihou7802]

Miso should never be boiled for hours. In fact, whether you're making a soup or a miso based stew, miso should ideally, be stirred in last and served without putting the soup in a roiling boil. Because that would destroy the enzymes in the miso that's good for health. Also, if you ever had bad miso soup, it's probably because there isn't enough miso in it. I tested this theory with my sister and dad, both picky and opinionated eaters who disliked most miso soups except for the ones served in higher end restaurants. They never like my miso soup, until I tripled the amount of miso I put in. Dad actually has a more refined palate, so if he says something is good, it's definitely good. Sister is just picky, lol.

[@RyuSaga99]

The Kimchi portion made me laugh because when I went to uni in Japan, we had a korean friend who always pinpoints the Kimchi Miso ramen on menu at local ramen shops and would go on a rant about why it's wrong to combine both Korean and Japanese and that it made no sense..... But he WILL get that exact ramen despite complaining about it.... Yould think he would get something else on the menu....

[@foreverfriendsg]

So does your friend actually hate the kimchi ramen then? 😂

[@tiffany5887]

Honestly Chef Brian is right - kimchi goes well with everything. Adds a spicy kick to the soup PLUS you get to eat kimchi. Win-Win.

So again, yeah, crying ancestors comforting each other sounds like a very good thing...we just wish they didn't feel like crying. Joyous ancestors having. a fine tine together, that's more like it.

[@worldedit96]

You should start writing these cook books and call it Jamie style recipe.

[@erinlikesacornishpasty4703]

He does seem to use the "clean out my pantry, fridge, freezer" method to make his food instead of an actual recipe. I love building on a "use it up" ingredient, or several, but I feel like Jamie has too many disparate ingredients to actually make any coherent dishes. Like, I have a section in my pantry for "international food" that has Mexican food components and Indian, Japanese, Chinese, and Thai ingredients. But I know which specific dishes, and have solid recipes, I make over and over again. So, I always know when I look in that section to "clean out my pantry", I know exactly what to do with those ingredients. I mean, I get it if you're at the end of the week (or month) or whatever, and you have a bunch if random stuff in the fridge, but Jamie can't even do a fried rice for that. I think the only thing I learned from Jamie Oliver is that he isn't good at planning to replenish his pantry.

[@jakedo4577]

“Sodium Bicarbonate” aka Akaline, the key element to Ramen Noodles just for those who don’t know. To make it, you just bake your baking soda and mix it with water, from there what you have in Japanese is “Kansui”

In ramen videos like these it definitely feels like production deadlines are superseding quality and respect of the craft. People think ramen is simple enough that you can just follow a recipe on your first try and get it right. The first time I tried to make tonkotsu it was a pretty glorious failure. So I broke it down into the ajitama, chashu, and the tare/broth/aroma oil. Worked on making each thing individually until I was satisfied with it. Then put it all together the next time I did it and it was amazing. I took a lot of inspiration from Adam Liaw's Ramen School series and the Way of Ramen KZbin channel. Also took the scallion oil from Chef Wang Gang as the aroma oil.

[@egulcem]

I love re-watching Uncle Roger videos at your channel. It is always nice to get a deeper look at what people are doing wrong and get some extra cooking advice.

[@TheNeonParadox]

The only things Jamie did right were the eggs and the kimchi. I started adding kimchi to Ramen a few years ago, and the flavor really pops. It's certainly not traditional, but it's very tasty.

[@elnar71]

The eggs are not a crime but they are definitely not authentic. You are supposed to add japanese soy sauce, MIRIN (a type of sweet cooking wine made of sticky rice), and a pinch of sugar to give it a hint of sweetness. Marinating the egg all salty and putting star anise in it is more of a chinese way of doing it

[@anasazmi8554]

[@codytsukayama7800]

I’ve spent several years in Japan and had my fair share of ramen in many different variations. Although Kim chee is very common all over Japan I can’t say I’ve ever seen it in ramen. The things that stand out the most are the quality and texture of noodles and the flavor of the broth. This wasn’t even close to ramen. For most types of ramen, first in the bowl is the tare and aroma oils which he didn’t even make. The broth next. Noodles get folded in neatly then toppings placed in. Each of the toppings are excellent on their own but even better together. It’s not just a bowl filled with random Asian ingredients. You can buy better convenience store ramen bowls that you just microwave than what Jamie Oliver just presented to the world.

[@nathangeorge6575]

Chef Brian, you are so freaking awesome. I love your vibe, i love the knowledge you bring as well as the times when you straight out say you don't know and you learn with the video. I really need to come get a sandwich when I visit New York with my lady to see her friend.

[@MickElrath]

Love learning from you Brian. Already making some better meals thanks to your tips. From your fellow metal head \m/

[@22hmartin]

I have definitely had Kimchi Ramen in places that are multicultural Asian areas, and it was amazing. It's not necessarily traditional, but it's great. that acidic spice it brings can really perk up the flavor a lot.

[@jonnymohawk]

I've been looking forward to this one! Keep it up man, you are doing great! That shirt is awesome BTW!

[@marble_fox4367]

Great to see another reaction to a reaction.. I love these!! Keep up the good work bro 😎

[@angellynette8258]

This was so good lol. You want a really good one, please please react to Uncle Rodger’s reaction to Gordon Ramsey making Ramen. 😂😂😂😂

[@ChefBrianTsao]

Def need to do that one, MANY have requested it!

[@justyouramateuryoutuber]

Yes... The very video that made him lose his Uncle title...

[@shadowgaze4575]

You should react to Gordon Ramsay making ramen. I'm sure you will love it

[@Rahat-cg8rv]

Lmao

[@magdolyn]

That was a train wreck and a half! I hope Chef reacts to that one, too! 🤣

[@jomarnoblado6242]

I love the roasting along with the chill vibe music on the side.

[@adibasyraf1318]

Love your unbiased react video, looking forward your next react video post 🤓

[@kimmykimkan]

Love these react videos and your culinary perspective. Stringjoy hat?! Nice! Great strings! What do you play?

[@ChefBrianTsao]

Electric guitar for Loss Becomes! kzbin.info

[@saynotzai]

Love how he was going to be like "this is decent" and then remembered the soba and went hard in the negative points

[@diethylmalonate]

noooo I was just in NY a few months ago..definitely have to check out your restaurants next time I go :O

[@christinemarzano593]

New subscriber here. I found you through a Guda video (your kimchi & the potato salad looked fantastic by the way!) Very glad I came looking for you. I'm loving your reaction videos

[@ChefBrianTsao]

Thank you and welcome to the fam! 🤘😁

[@biplanecurious943]

Yo love your videos but I had to mention this. It's sodium carbonate, not sodium bicarbonate. Sodium bicarbonate is baking soda, with PH around 8.3, sodium carbonate has a PH of 11. It's used to make many alkaline noodles including ramen noodles. If you try to make a noodle recipe that calls for sodium carbonate with bicarb you're not going to get the right texture in the end product. (also just general knowledge: PH is logarithmic, so PH 11 is 1000x more basic than PH 8. Each integer in the PH scale equates to a 10x interval)

[@ChefBrianTsao]

Thanks for clarifying that!

[@nighttempest7163]

Chef Brian: What's Jamie's thought process of this? Jamie: To be as ignorant and incorrect as possible

[@logjammin01]

New to the channel man. We go to NYC a few times a year. Gonna have to check it place out.

[@Russman67]

I made the mistake of discovering this channel at work. Damn near hurt myself trying not to laugh out loud. Great stuff!

[@Ashtari]

I know Jamie Oliver has a health food obsession. I'm guessing soba noodles were chosen because buckwheat flour sounds healthier than ramen noodles that are made with white flour.

[@juliebiggerbear7300]

That part when you almost gave him a + score for the soba noodle ‘ramen’ soup 🤣

[@humansheep1313]

Another great vid! I know you suggested this somewhere, but would love to see you react to your own episode of "Beat Bobby Flay" I think that would be amazing to get some insight into that experience, and to see how you might do things differently now.

[@joetitmarsh8974]

Just started following, loving your videos!!!

[@megadan268]

Loving the channel so far, just found it today and I've been binging these reacts. Here's a weird suggestion: how about reacting to ironmouse reacts to gordon ramsay making "pegao"

[@Expertspecter]

"This is not PEGAO! 'Peg-ow' Gordon?!"

[@Cirruscloudz]

The kimchi looked weak and be careful just adding it. There's different stages to kimchi. Fresh kimchi is always with rice, when it starts turning let it sit, and when it's fully "soured" is when you use it for soup, fried rice, etc.

[@arlinrosalesrodriguez256]

Subscribed, fourth video watching from your Chanel and love it!

[@Protonpack]

I'm enjoying your videos. Keep it up!

[@justho3350]

Guess anyone can become a TV chef if they have enough enthusiasm and the ability to throw random crap on a plate calling it a dish

[@LauraTeAhoWhite]

Jamie making ramen with soba would be the same as making lasagne with spaghetti.

[@dedenekashi861]

Yeah but both lasagna and spaghetti are made with durum semolina right? Soba and ramen are made with different flours and ingredients. It's more like if someone said they were making lasagna with egg noodles.

[@MF101]

Dude, I just discovered your channel and you rock! Here's a thumbs up because you're awesome, a subscribe because I wanna see more of your videos, and a comment for the algorithm because you deserve more views.

[@SilentFootprints]

You should so ask if you could do a joint react video with uncle Rodger. Seeing you both interacting would make these next level.

[@aetheruszhou1526]

I hope someday you would react to Uncle Roger reacting to Chef Wang Gang's egg fried rice.

[@ChefBrianTsao]

Just filmed that one! Out in a couple weeks!

[@deathpyre42]

Here are two possible explanations for what happened here. (Since with all due respect, any Jamie Oliver recipe is the culinary equivalent of the black box from a plane wreck, and the best way to enjoy is to sort of work backwards from the result and try to figure out what's going on in that head.) Explanation 1 is that Soba is considered to be a bit of a health food in Japan, so he's just trying to do what he thinks of as a healthy substitute. But, the high fat, high sodium ramen broth defeats the whole darn point. And good soba is best paired with simpler foods so that you can really let the nuttiness of the noodles shine through. Explanation 2 is that in Japan, a common term for ramen shops is "chuka-soba" (chinese soba) but soba in that context is used to refer to noodles. (cf. yakisoba, which is essentially chow mein flavored with worcestershire ). Anyone else have a theory?

[@aboba628]

Nah, no need for theories and stuff like this, Jamie is just a jerk who pretends he knows how to cook Asian culinary

[@vincentchow6448]

I don't think soba noodles are considered a "health food" in Japan. They're considered a health food maybe by Jamie but in Japan they're considered just another popular dish. I say this as a zaru soba lover. It's just a different type of noodle with a different flavour, texture, and toppings/sauce. Soba vs ramen is like spaghetti vs pizza imo or hamburger vs steak..

[@deathpyre42]

@@vincentchow6448 It's not like a health food health food, but for example you've got the custom of drinking the soba boiling water for the nutrients, so I'd say soba is considered good for you. But then again I've only ever seen people over 60 drink the soba water so maybe that notion is dying out. Anyhow it's not correct, but I could see how someone approaching it from a whole foods perspective would just assume soba is a healthy "whole wheat" product and not really get the unique value it has as a separate thing.

[@alanholck7995]

The yaki-soba we had in Okinawa didn't have worcestershire. The soba noodles were made from buckwheat, IDK if it had wheat flour as well.

[@BrunodeSouzaLino]

Noodles of any kind have very low nutritional value. Maybe he thinks soba is healthy because he's associating the color of noodles with Italian pasta, which is mostly eggs and flour and all "supposed" healthier pastas are not yellow. It's a bit weird to consider his healthy approach when kimichi has tons of oil, pork rinds are skin with fat on the other side among other things.

[@nikkimaxwell1358]

Chilli jam: gonna make ramen! Gordon Ramsey : IF THATS A RAMEN I TURNING VEGAN

[@docon18]

This was sooo great! I appreciate another Asian Chef coming to fame.

[@chrisbob1200]

Shout out for Mike Green's ramen recipe - I've tried it twice and it's good. Not sure what the protocol is for posting other channel's links, but if you search 'Pro Home Cook Ramen' it should get you there. Alex's channel on making your own ramen noodles from scratch is pretty out there too...

[@MdnightWnd]

I've seen comments talking about the health factor... and I agree that maybe he makes edits to make things healthier. But he should say "yes, these are soba noodles and the dish is called ramen because ramen noodles are used in it, but I'm trying to use another japanese noodle that's a bit healthier" or something along those lines. So at least he would be explaining why he's completely diverging from the traditional recipe.

[@MeldinX2]

I don't even think that regular ramen is that unhealthy in general either. Maybe it's too high in sodium if you drink all the broth but it's not like you eat it everyday and it's still 10 times better than Mcdonalds and all the other fast food joints people visit on a regular basis.

[@anthonypopelka8633]

I really like your reactions to Uncle Roger!.. its a lot of fun and iv always loved Uncle Roger. Please do more with him! :D

[@anthonypopelka8633]

also i liked commented and subscribed... so please.. please do it.
