HELLO FRIENDS!! here is our full stream from this week!! i hope you enjoy this romp into bizarre yet delicious instant ramen recipes -- we are sodium'd out over here, but very pleased!! lol. see you guys next week, same time, same place, for some more weirdness

I've never had Sriracha before, I love hot sauce, Buffalo sauce, and spicy food in general but Sriracha has somehow never made it into my recipes or condiment rotation. But now I think I might have to try it.

[@Pookiie1990]

I'm watching this while eating ramen! I boil the Kimchi noodles, strain, and keep just a bit of the water. Then, I boil carrots, shallots, onions, and add the packets. I let it simmer, add in the noodles and add some shrimp as well as coriander! Yum!!

[@jokl89]

When I have instant ramen I can’t be bothered. I really just boil water in a kettle and pour it on the noodles and add the flavour packages. Everything else would defeat the purpose for me. Takes no time at all. When i have like 10 minutes I’d rather roast some veggies and add rice noodles or couscous and add my own herbs and spices.

At one point in time we had 15 different kinds of cheese in the house (we really like cheese okay) and so I decided to make a 15 cheese Mac and cheese. Which indeed include cheese string poking out the top. It was amazing

That’s awesome! Our family loves cheese so we sometimes make it similarly, maybe not 15 kinds though!!

I'm team barely cooked, broth-y ramen. My partner does his mushy, no broth. Trust me, this is a contention point 👀

[@kudzu_]

Same. Mushy ramen is the worst. My husband eats his no broth, mushy, with butter and the seasoning packet. It's more like ramen porridge at that point.

[@kennaopal5417]

@@kudzu_ ramen porridge 🤣 apt description

[@hellsingmongrel]

See, I prefer mine al dente and not mushy, but it depends on my mood, what I add to it. If I want dry ramen, I add butter and only use half a packet of the soup packet. If I want it soup-like, I use the whole packet, no butter, but I add a raw egg cracked into the boiling water while the noodles are cooking.

[@rebeccarankin9455]

I like them both ways, it just depends on how I feel on a particular day

[@bestnarryever]

About the first one: I am half Italian, half Brazilian, and a very common Brazilian tradition is to eat Ramen noodles with requeijão (Brazilian creem cheese) I vividly just remembered my Italian grandma fighting my mom about why she let me do that, but it’s actually pretty good

[@A_S_Quinn]

For the peanut butter ramen, I'd try Barg's Amino Acids instead of soy sauce and crunchy peanut butter. I'd try it myself tomorrow if I had not finished my ramen Saturday.

[@CarterMckayRRC]

I love crunchy peanut butter with spicy ramen.

[@kelseyyyyyyyy9852]

Sounds delicious! I just tried the recipe but with crunchy peanut butter, rice noodles, veg stock, celery and homemade Sriracha 🤯 🤯 blew my tastebud's minds

[@hathorthecow7146]

I'm not a fan of Bragg's personally as it tastes a bit too much of vinegar, I go for traditional tamari as a gluten free option instead. Still has more bite to it than the mostly-wheat shoyu, but you get that soy flavor and the actual fermentation that really elevates it. I've been doing this for years with creamy PB, never tried with crunchy for some reason. I'll give it a go next time hubby gets crunchy. 😋

[@emilymulcahy]

You realize ramen is pretty much all gluten, right?

[@emilymulcahy]

Add way more peanut butter and less soy

[@indiaayala8127]

My family has three food trucks in VA . It’s honestly an amazing scene to be in. We have been on shark tank (The Bumbling Bee Vegan Junk Food and Burger Bar) , won multiple awards on our food and my mom has created the first food truck association brought to Hampton roads! My sister even had a mobile hair salon until she moved to Colorado. We love our trucks lol 🤪 wanna run one, we got you!

[@ChibiChidorii]

at first I thought mayo on ramen would be disgusting but when I actually tried it I was so amazing by how creamy and tasty the ramen ends up. It's now my go to especially with spicy ramen

[@hellsingmongrel]

Oh man, yeah, mayo in ramen is SO GOOD! Butter is also a good addition, though I've never tried both at the same time.

[@skygaki]

oh, i definitely need to try it then!! ^^

[@pinknblackproductions]

So happy to see yall again. The food streams are my faves and Tyler's tangents are just so chaotic it vibes with my adhd

[@kimberlykinsinger2612]

Good news! If that was real Parmesan (read: not the shaker stuff with cellulose) then it was, in fact, ✨NATURALLY ✨lactose free! This is because of the bacteria present which eats away the lactose sugars. Gouda and real Swiss are also naturally lactose free (also very old, hard cheeses like 7+ years) 😃

[@daphneodora5779]

I’m totally with Tyler on team soupy, slightly undercooked ramen! I’ve tried to do it without broth cuz the internet convinced me was always eating it wrong lol but I just find it too mushy that way. I like mine with garlic, green onion, siracha, and lime 😋

[@raomega8]

Ramen, sandwich lunch meat cut into strips (scissors work), egg, burger spices, tiger sauce. Definitely rummaging through chat for ramen recipes 😁

[@emilycraddock3557]

My aunt used to make noodles, drain them, add them to a sauce pan with fresh cabbage, frozen peas and corn, and the packet. Cook til cabbage is soft. It was delicious.

[@Xxtmp]

I started cooking my ramen with chicken/beef broth instead of the water. It’s soooo good and you can add the spice cubes. Also when ramen in almost done I crack and egg and let’s it cook (kinda over easy style) top with some spice and avocado slices

[@rachelpecoskie9803]

The crafting and cooking streams are the most entertaining!! Keep on doing what you're doing 👌 😊

[@hathorthecow7146]

I've been doing the peanut thing for years. I typically mix the PB, soy, garlic, ginger, and maybe some chili powder and/or mirin in an unheated bowl and then stir in the noodles plus a little of the water straight out if the boiling pan.

[@Sincyn241]

Roast beef ramen with green onions (or dried chives) with sliced mushrooms and cream cheese for a mock-stroganoff. You can also add a little barbecue seasoning/smoked paprika and cayenne along with a little blue cheese if you have it for a play on black and blue steak/burger. You can do it with the packet in the cooking water for a lighter taste, or by cooking the noodles first and then add the packet to a smaller amount of cooking liquid after partially draining the noodles. 🍜

[@amberwelch8629]

Kikoman's low sodium is really good, tastes just like the original just not SO salty!

[@rebeccarankin9455]

I only add half of the seasoning packet to my noodles and that's the perfect amount for me. I've tried the peanut butter one before but I put some ground ginger in mine. And Texas Pete hot sauce because I didn't have Sriracha. I enjoyed it

Did anybody else have like in the early 2000s late 90s a “trend” go around their school of just eating the dry Ramen packets? people were bringing that for lunch and you just would open the end of the Ramen packet, pull out the seasoning dump that on your dry Ramen in the package and then hold the end closed and smash it with your hand into little bits and then like just eat The little pieces like you’re eating a bag of chips.

I make peanut butter ramen frequently, but I add rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, and instead of Sriracha, I use chili garlic paste. It creates a great depth of flavor.

[@lesliehyde]

I like to make a garlic cilantro sauce to put in my ramen (must be cooked to al dente (about 2 minutes) , no more than a cup of water and the seasoning packet (for the broth). The sauce has (roughly) 4 bunches of cilantro, garlic paste or about 8 cloves of garlic, either 2 seeded jalapeños or about 10 good shakes of green Tabasco sauce, about 3 to 4 teaspoons of salt and then equal parts of lemon juice, white distilled vinegar and oil of your choice (personal preference is canola). I then blend in a Ninja blender until a vibrant but 1 color green (about 2 minutes).

With all the fear of the laptop near the burner, would it be useful to get one of those desk arm mounts to put the lap top on and attach it to the side of the table. That way it can be accessible but be off the table. That way there’s no fear of damage to the computer.

my instant ramen hack that surprises friends is adding miso (whether you have dried miso in a little packet or a tub of it in your fridge) to the broth. shin ramyun with miso (add flavoring packets to taste I usually use half of each). I also add soft boiled eggs, lots of soy sauce, spinach if there’s any in my fridge, steak sizzler cuts bc they’re super cheap and cook fast, and eel sauce which I make at home every couple of weeks since I finally nailed it

Actually the first time I bought Peanut Butter was primarily for using with ramen as a sauce add-in. Like, before I ever ate it on bread or anything. Usually I prefer my Ramen with loads of broth though, and of course some add-ins. An egg for certain, also some spinach or bok choy if I can. My love for Ramen in all forms leads me to try loads of hacks and receipies though! Always into new stuff.

As someone who has a Surinamese family, putting peanut butter in noodle soup or on noodles just looks normal to me. Pindasoep / Pinda Bravoe (Peanutsoup) is a very common Surinamese dish.

[@emilymulcahy]

I eat my ramen half soupy, half a packet of seasoning with a little pool of water and a giant dollop of cashew butter, like a quarter to a third a cup, it thins out with the water to be a drier noodle dish and I eat it with chicken, shrimp or beef depending on what's available in my fridge or freezer

[@VivianEileen]

I love peanut butter ramen but i do peanut butter, soy sauce and sweet chili sauce instead. The sweetness really makes it good

[@cooperj4324]

You are the best!! ❤️💕

[@Kaiheart]

I love chicken ramen. I make mine by putting the noodle block in a bowl, sprinkle the seasoning on the block, then fill the bowl with water - and microwave it. I then let them sit & steam & absorb most of the water for about 20 minutes - It stays hot as long as it's covered with a plate & towel. I then add some cooked broccoli & carrots, maybe some mayo, but I don't add a lot of extras.

[@lanitasluvr]

Decision has been made by the chat. We get to pick ur next ramen flavors I say lipstick ramen

[@Holly_hamigakiko]

This was a fun one to watch. The dry one looked like the sauce had just over reduced, which is easily done, not Tyler's fault at all. If that ever happens, you can just add extra liquid (water in this case) to revitalize it and better coat the noodles. I would save some of the liquid you cooked the noodles in as using that will help the sauce and noodles combine better (like you do with italian cooking). Just add a tablespoon at a time though! Great job 🙂

[@Dee912]

For the peanut butter ramen: as an Indo (Euro-Indonesian) , if you add ketjap instead of soy it’s lower sodium and sweeter tasting. A little more peanut butter for a slightly thicker sauce. And you can add different kinds of hot sauces; for a more saté/peanut sauce flavour we use ketchup and chili sauce /sambal :)
