I'd also like to point out how despite that stove being super powerful, this wonderful lady has measured the water just right each time so it never boils over. No doubt the amount of water is just right so that it's tasty and not diluted or too salty as well. She even times it down to the second so it doesn't overcook the noodles. That's precision, that's professionalism, and that's why it's a viable business and not something to look down on!
I think the stove is powerful for two reasons. One, quick service. Two, good looking and well tasting ramen. With lesser stove the pot would be hotter at bottom. So water needs to rise to cook ramen and other ingredients such as eggs. But with this stove its getting heat from the sides as well. You can notice how water sizzles in the pot walls right after adding ramen cake.
I don’t know why but there’s just something about seeing elders cooking food for you that just makes you feel at home and happy, they’re honestly so precious 🥺
At first I thought this was a bit strange to serve instant noodles but then I realized that I have no problem buying a hotdog from a vendor and that's even easier.
People please stop talking about how you can make this at home. We all know you can make this at home, this lady knows you can make it home, but you are not at home! If you fancy some ramen then order it.
sabbage100 people are forgetting the entire concepts of restaurants. Like yeah you can make something cheap at home (like tacos instead of Taco Bell or hamburgers instead of McDonald’s) but this is for convenience and NOT HAVING TO MAKE IT
It's funny because you can make your own french fries, hamburger, sandwich, coffee, fried rice etc by yourself yet people still go to Cafe, McDonald's etc lol
Yeah You could still make “everything at home” whether it be pasta, pizza , sushi the point of going to a restaurant is that u DONT WANT TO MAKE IT AT HOME
I see this poor lady have some haters they cannot cook like her definitely but blessings to her cause some people dont no better they just know how to be rude and hateful ugh .where is the love
Not trying to be a hater here. But instant noodle is meant to be more convenient than the other food mentioned above so should be made at home instead of paying for someone to cook. Even fries are difficult to make to MacDonalds quality. What I see different here is the variety of ways to prepare the noodle which I think is the selling point.
People realize that this is no different then going out and ordering french fries. It takes like 5 minutes to reheat frozen french fries and chicken nuggets yourself yet you still order them at mcdonald’s because it’s convenient and sometimes you’re craving it while you’re not home.
French fries is a bit more labour intensive to prepare than a package of noodles. I know these require a bit more steps than your classical brands like "Mama" but I suppose if you allowed it to steep it would be just as edible as any other instant noodles. Those other ingredients can be easily dehydrated if you have time.
@@eile4219 clearly you fail to acknowledge the logistical requirements of these two dishes. One can easily be obtained from a hot water dispenser or a tap and microwave; the other requires a deep fryer which aren't exactly in most places of work unless it's a fast food restaurant or any type of eatery. Again, as the name implies, instant noodles are by design meant to be easy to prepare. I suppose if you were desperate enough you could microwave your frozen french fries but I rather go hungry.
The Yellow Cursor I mean I just heat up the frozen ones in the oven, It requires me to push like 2 buttons, it’s not that labor intensive, They don’t taste any different to me?
I 100% agree with your comment. The difference between french fries and ramen is that Koreans love ramen. There's so many different flavors of ramen available in Korea and it's often a craving. They have ramen making stations in Korea as well. So for those people dissing this lady and saying that fries are harder to make than ramen don't understand the cultural aspect of ramen in Korea.
I wish place exsist like this in the states. Would be great near every college campus. They could share space with a cereal vendor. College kids would go crazy.
@@tlyep718 I would agree with you but I live in Chicago. There is a pizza joint every where you go. Would be really nice to go and post up after a drink at a bar or on the way to work to have some fire ramen 🍜 🔥 🍜
Sometimes,I just skip lunch to save money ,lol,or I used buy a small juice box and a small bun,instead of going to the college canteen or the restaurant nearby
Apparently the people who criticises has no sense of cultural at all. It is really common in Korea for vendors to sell ramen. Be respectful and stop being so arrogant.
It's exactly because it's so common there that it feels stranger. It would make sense here, since there's not many better alternatives, but over there? You can find a ramen shop that sells ramen 10x better on practically every street corner
It's bcz our senses have already tasted/sensed the smell...so when we eat our own prepared food it doesn't taste that good cz it's not new to our brain
to people who are flaming the ramen lady. think about it. you are outside, NOT at home, and this street vendor is just providing a quick cheap lunch. obviously people are going to make their own packaged ramen at home, but she makes quick 라면 meal for people out and about.
I'm thinking the big part of that reason is because you're too lazy to make the noodles taste better by putting the extra effort and ingredients. Do us and your potential BF/husband a favor and just order out.
GplusGains such a positive response *irony*. You didnt even taste this person food. It happened to me that once i did a cake and other people liked, but i prefered a cake that was made by others. Its not like it was bad but there are people who prefer others food
@@m.a.v7774 I saw the video and so did she. She then writes when someone else (like the lady in the video) makes ramen, it taste better than hers. That means that lazy girl only cooks the noodle and nothing more, and she's wondering why her noodles aren't good. I just pointed that out and advised her not to abuse her future husband. Bad cooking causes depression in families.
@@chiken4156 lazy people say that often. I'll give you a simple example; why does grilled cheese sandwiches taste better when I make it? You know why? Because I don't cut corners. The proof is in the pudding (taste). I've seen this too many times in life not to fall for your lies.
Because instant noodles help feed a huge part of the world? Because the number of people starving to death actually dropped a LOT after their invention. Because feeding people is one of the most basic social tasks ever.
This Ahjumma making Ramen, made me so happy! And, my mouth is watering like crazy too! 😊🤤♥️ Guys, she is not just making instant ramen; she is putting lots of toppings, her heart & soul; and love into this. If I had street vendor like this around the corner; I would stop by and order everyday! Even though I myself can cook good ramen but sometimes I don’t have all the ingredients. There’s something about Ramyun tasting extra good when someone else cooks it for you! ♥️
I respect people like this even if you think she is just selling instant noodle. At least she earns her keeping, unlike parasites who use countless excuses to avoid working.
Even though it is instant, the quality of this kind of noodles is really good. They're thicker and chewier and have a better flavor than maruchan, top ramen and those sorts of crappy ramen.
@@hiraya_roan Most everything you buy in a fastfood joint like McDonalds are already premade before they get into their stores. I think I remember they have a set timer etc for how long they cook their foods too. The only thing they need to do is reheat it, eh..... same principle here.
In indonesia, it is called as "warkop", a place that provides instant noodles and instant coffee as their main menu. You can make them at home of course, but trust me, their instant noodles and instant coffee are more delicious than what we cook at home
my grandmother worked in a warkop when she went to "merantau" and she said some warkop made their instant noodles with sambal, that's why it tastes so wonderful
Setuju, entah kenapa mie buatan sendiri ga begitu enak di banding mi di warkop. I think the sambal goreng on Warkop make the taste so different than cooking by self.
Idk why these people are saying she’s using too much water... if you look well it’s clear the pot she’s cooking the ramen in is larger than the one she’s using as a ladle which means she’s actually not even using that much. People so quick to criticize. The tea is this most likely SLAPS 😋
A lot of people can make this at home...A lot of people can make fried street food and crepes too but they choose to buy it already made. It's basically 3$ for that meal. One of those packs of ramen is around 1.69 in the states and that's not including everything she put in it. It's well worth the money.
This lady can do whatever. If it sells, let her sell it, but the two examples you gave are awful examples. If you ever cooked anything, you would know frying stuff is a pain to deal with the oil during clean up and making thin crepes is hard without having the proper tools. Moreover, the prep is much more time consuming with creating the batter for a crepe. Instant noodles is what I go to when I don't want to make any effort with cooking. It's something I can do in 5 min, prep/cooking/cleanup, unlike fried food or crepes that has a much longer prep or clean up, which is why I think people are baffled at why people would order something like this when the bar for making it yourself is as low as cooking gets.
@@muffindude2087 His point still stands tho "it's worth the money." The packet of noodles is probably almost half of the price of meal cost (in America/Canada), along with the other toppings, the convenience of it ends up costing like a dollar, which is a lot cheaper than the cost of convenience everywhere else.
@@muffindude2087 I think it depends. I don't think making crepes is hard once you make them a few times. All I really need for that is a frying pan and a knife/fingers. People will find different things hard. But It's still nice to get food one enjoys outside of ones home.
I believe the act of feeding another person, even if it's paid for, is an expression of caring, compassion, and acknowledgment. It is outside affirmation of your own existence. That makes everything better.
I’m really surprised at how systemic and cleanliness she maintains while cooking. She does everything step by step arrrggghhh I need that kind of perfection in my life eh. Would definitely visit her 🙌🏻💓
I have a feeling you'd make a bad cook. Please be upfront with this about you before getting into a serious relationship. Good men do not wish to be deceived later on in life causing great depression.
True but I'm remembering my original purpose of playing it is to glamourize the fact I hardly wanted to eat my ramen packet and its the easiest thing to make RN... Haha
When you're out running errands and just busy, cold, and hungry, and then you come across this little stand with a kind little lady selling hot, freshly made instant ramen for 2 bucks, with sides, and zero clean up for yourself after? Hell YES, I'd buy a bowl. Happily. That's cheaper than any fast food where I live, and far tastier and satisfying. And far less hassle for me, even with it being instant. Just saving myself from cleaning dishes is worth it. And ramen in Korea (in many eastern countries) is not the same as ramen in western countries. It is serious business, not a trash food, and a highly beloved meal, with many different ingredients and iterations. It may be instant ramen, but there is nothing instant about the additions she's putting into it, and the flavors she's building with those additions.
I am Colombian and married to a Korean, I prepare the ramen as he taught me, but now I know new ways to cook it for him. Fabulous video and what a unique way to cook lady, I love Korea 🥰
Try using whole milk instead of water. If you use skim milk, I am not responsible for that. Boil the noodles until almost done in water and drain. Now boil the milk with seasonings and veggies of your choice, and add noodles. Thank me later.
are people actually getting mad at this? y'all do know it specifically says KOREAN street food. it's 1) cheap and filling meal and 2) a pretty reasonable business. a lot of koreans (especially students, the working class, and young adults) live off of instant ramen so it makes sense for some people to make a business out of making instant ramen.
To be fair, people who are living off ramens are not going to food stalls for it, they re making it at home But hey, business is you sell whatever sells, give the people what they want
Ever heard the term break time? Just because people can make it doesnt mean they have the time to do it. People buy stuff like this since they dont have time to cook due to being busy at work
I've gotten Uber eats for taco bell 3 blocks away from me when I was drunk. So I have no room to throw shade at someone cooking instant ramen... It also looks fun to eat it straight out of the pot
Made my mouth water! She does it so flawlessly. She literally has everything organized, measured, and timed properly for the perfect outcome !! Ugh, I wish I had this where I live😭😭
People saying they can make it at home 🙄 This is a self treat! If you’re out and suddenly craving for ramen, it’s available for you! If you are a student who is so tired and just wanna sit and eat, this is available for you! (Well, in korea not here in America 🤣 ) I wish we have one here! Especially when it’s winter!! Ugh! I’ll be sooo willing to pay and will treat myself! (Well if corona is not Kill joy 🙄)
Imagine you are craving ramen when you out but far from home, should you go back home just to make ramen? Lol. But here in my country we have people sell cooked instant noodles (not exactly like korean ramen as korean ramen are expensive here where i live), personally I ate those when I'm out of home and stranded somewhere and it's raining, especially cooked instant noodles tends to be cheaper than other menu lol
@@rchrch4922 some vendors just directly in front of the Chem department at school sell instant stuff, too. Noodles (which you could totally cook at the dorm but don't). Hardboiled egg (ditto). And maybe some fried foods, too.
at least this grandma is making a living unlike some of you who sit behind your phones acting spoilt and live off your parents. try going into the real world and earn your own keep
What's funny is she's not hiding the fact that she's making it out of the package and sells it cheaply with soul vs if you go in a restaurant, they charge you 3x more from a cheaper ramen brand behind the kitchen without love.
Idk about cheaper since you can get the exact same ramen 5 in a pack for a 1.50 where i live.....i would say its for lazy folks who don't wanna cook for themselves even though you can have the same experience at home with leftovers for much much less...but hey im not downing her hustle shes just taking advantage of the lazy.
@@justsomeguycommenting6807 Nah it’s about time. So i assume that westerners always go home to cook n eat then do work, study etc? Never knew that how much time you guys have
@@Fxckyall it's noodles.. if you don't have 5mins out your day cook something this simple thats sad......thats like saying you're so busy you don't have 5-10mins out your day to bath your own ass
@@justsomeguycommenting6807 Huh so you’re so much time that go to your house to take shower in midbreak or lunch breaks wow youre so lucky. Or you only eat in morning wtf are you talking about or maybe you work from home? Most of people work outside from home. My guess is you’re unemployed guy right?
@@Fxckyall preparation df? Its called preparing your week on downtime from planing to cooking i guess your life is so hard you was never taught to plan 😂 df is you talking about man the way you sound its 24/7hard knock life no sleep no eating no nothing. 10-20mins out your day could be preparing lunch for work or so on for a couple of days jesus christ you're a sad man.
This woman ain't hiding the fact that she's using instant noodles to cook the food id honestly do the same I ain't making my own noodles out of flour since last time I managed to break the machine you use to make homemade noodles
Practically we can cook anything at home. Doesn’t mean when you go to a restaurant its not called “instant” on the menu.. that makes it any different. I’ll come to S.Korea and will patronize from this lovely vendor ❤️
I love watching these videos for me it's so unique how they cook ramen noodles all different techniques and ingredients that they put into it. It looks so yummy. I grew up eating ramen noodles with my family and I've tried a couple of different Japanese ramen noodles and their so delicious. It's quick & easy. I've past it down to my family & my baby cousins they love to eat them till this day. I use to babysit them when they were babies. Now their in their 20s & they thank me for it.👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾💯💯💯
That lady is definition of wholesome ngl, she serves your food in the cooking pot and so the food stays warm for even longer. QUEEN LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, SHE A QUEEN. I love her
I bet this serving of ramen tasted absolutely incredible. IMO Nongshim is the best brand of ramen in the world, and this lady adds a bunch of great stuff to round it out
My dream trip is filled with Seoul street food, fried chicken, jeju island and the tangerines ... by the time this pandemic ends I’ll be financially ready to finally go to Korea :) speaking it into existence
Eating these in Australia right now Love them I wanna visit Korea one day .. love there movies and tv shows and there food .. I notice these noodles in alot of shows and movie
