I'm baffled why 80 percent of the comments are people flipping out that silicone rubber is a ingredient, its not when he mentioned the silicone he was talking about the cutter that effects thickness and how wavy it is thats the reason the camera was zoomed in on the ramen being sliced
Javorie Johnson people are so stupid these days. I kept scrolling and people actually think silicone was added to the noodles...its the material of the damn cutting mold
Nothing to be baffled about! As people should PAY ATTENTION! That's what he said, he should have Explained it better! Companies are know to poison food by putting toxic things in food in case you are not aware or don't know that! Subway did it, they used chemicals to make tires in the bread. To all the other comments and commentors about this, you are the STUPID ONES!!! You are obviously the ones who don't read ingredients and Don't know what you are eating or maybe you don't care!
that and aren't japanese people(I know he's american but he should know about japanese customs) really clean, like cleaning their house all the time, switching different slippers
In my country all food factories are much cleaner . This is a small factory. You should see a plain food factory here . Nothing on the floor is completely forbidden, and there’s no spraying on the shoos you need to cover in a special automatic machine your shoes. This is nothing compare with it . ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_Wzbs021qX4.html
@@justrosy5 @2:04 It was the way he said it, "whether it's wavy or straight its by adding a certain silicone rubber". But ya he was referring to was silicone flaps inserted below the output of the roller cutters. Its not something your gonna find on a standard home pasta roller, though i think Alex did a video on making a homemade modification for one.
"...each region have it's own specialty.." already happening! Kaedama and Nishii Ramen already infuse Mexican elements into traditional Japanese ramen. Results, delicious
Sun Noodles does make frozen ramen kits- concentrated broth and noodles tailored to their broth (I buy them) Check their website for retailers; may be able order online and ship.
I was eating their ramen while watching this. I’ve been to tsujita in west la and I recognized the noodles are exact. I bought their packaged miso ramen from the fridge section at Whole Foods. Actually pretty amazing.
Although Title 21 mentions a variety of rubbers, FDA-approved silicone rubber is the ideal elastomer for food-related applications. Silicone is ideal for use as a food grade rubber because it is a non-toxic material.
The biggest challenge to all this, in my eyes, is getting the preconceived idea that "Ramen" is a not something that comes out of a little plastic packet with a salt and flavoring packet inside, and is something that can be a whole meal in and of itself. And the problem is twofold with that. Price and Perception of 'quality'. Price: I would say a vast majority of the country right now if you asked them what Ramen is would say "Those hard blocks of squiggly noodles. They are so cheap." and while they would not be wrong, they would have an issue paying $8 for a single bowl of ramen at a restaurant since they could "Make it themselves at home" for less than a dollar. This is of course wrong, but they don't see it that way. They just see a bowl of noodles and the prior knowledge they have of them says that this should be cheap food. Now, people have zero issue plonking down $50 for a "Steak" from some place that has some big LONG HORNS above the door. They don't even question it for a millisecond, when the only thing that is different about the steak they get there and the one that only costs $15 at the local grocery store is about a tablespoon of salt, and a very hot cooking method. It is all about preconceived notions of what you THINK it should cost. Perception of 'quality': This is a bit trickier McDonalds has this exact same issue right now. Most fast food places do, but it happens to hit MCD harder than most other ones. Everyone thinks MCD food should cost less, so when they raise prices and try to increase the quality of the ingredients--people complain, and then the price goes back down. And they complain about the quality... It is a cycle. I do not know if it is only in America, but it seems as if other countries do not have this issue...
You are probably right for the most part. Although I personally have only been exposed to the cheap Ramen my whole life, but when I started hearing about these Ramen shops, I thought it was an amazing idea. I have tried experimenting with making Ramen more flavorful and interesting, but it's hard to do. Even after growing up on the cheap stuff, I would definitely be willing to drop a normal amount of eating-out money to eat Ramen instead of lots of other choices. I bet the flavors these guys create are amazing. But again, overall, you're probably right. Good comment. :)
Yeah. I had some good ramen a few years ago, and I want more... But even I am kind of shocked with the price. I mostly compare it with the Pho that I have eaten, and for under $10 I can get an absolutely MASSIVE bowl of Pho with lots of meat and stuff... Versus $16 per bowl of very good but not nearly as large Ramen. And usually the Pho place has much better parking and is not filled to the brim with hipsters. HA! I kid. I don't mind Hipsters. They are just hilarious to me. In an ironic and you wouldn't understand kind of way. :P Biggest problem I had was where to get good noodles. But, luckily where there is a large population of Asian-Americans there is at least one noodle company. So, just look for them and google around for where they buy their noodles from--and you are golden. Fresh Ramen is SO much faster to cook than the pre-fried blocks of blandness. We are talking like a minute dunked in boiling water, and then onto the plate. So I heartily recommend getting all of your other ingredients ready before you even begin with the noodles. In the video, the guy has those little baskets in the water and they are in there for like maybe a minute or two.
Yes I have too only have the cheap stuff. I've always loved the Japanese culture (pretty much everything about it) and really love the food that comes from the region, I've visited many Japanese stake house's, tried many different dishes but still to date haven't had a true bowl of ramen. The one thing that has always impressed me about the Japanese food is that not only does it taste good but it looks good too. They take the food they serve very seriously, they want it to not only taste good but also be appealing to the eyes also. I have no issue what so ever in paying more for it, and in fact I've never been disappointed when I have had a true Japanese meal. One day I would like to go to a true Ramen shop, but alas they aren't many in the southern states.
Mikey8567 *_Ramen is Chinese food. Noodle was invented in China, it had been eaten for thousands of years before it was introduced to Japan. Pretty much every "Japanese tradition" is actually Chinese. Even all Italians know spaghetti originated from China._* By the way, that's not Ramen he's making, it's just normal noodle made by machine; don't let him fool you. Real Ramen is made by completely hand pulling method which is still mainly a Chinese specialty that rarely seen outside China to this day.
Yes I know where it started from. Also he never stated that it was traditional handmade Ramen. It is a production line product. As with many things these days due to the volume required to meet the fast paced society we live in assembly line produced products are used in many restaurants. Cheeses, dressings, condiments, noodles, and even some produce used in the preparation of dishes are pre made and packaged and then shipped to the restaurants . The noodles are technically stretched based on the roller system and also flatten to a specific size so yet not made by hand they do meet the requirements to be concidered Raman noodles. I would love to go to a restaurant that uses handmade Ramen noodles but those are rare in this day and age.
Wow! His father is from Utsunomiya! I love that place! I have visited Utsunomiya so many times. I love the Ramen and Gyoza there. >< I love love love ramen!
???? They have been in business for 32 years, yet in my 20 plus years of living, i have never seen their products on a grocery store shelf. An American Ramen company, not typically sold in American grocery stores. God that's disappointing.
Large cities like New York, Philly, and LA become over saturated with ramen shops, while they basically don't exist in the rest of the country. I think real progress would be building them in medium sized cities across the country. I have 4 pho shops within reasonable driving distance, but the nearest ramen place is halfway across the my state. I don't get it because I feel like ramen is more popular, yet no one's making it outside of large cities.
Nah it's not healthy at all hahaha. i like to eat it too though (almost every few days), just make sure you add some healthy toppings to balance it. Common instant noodles usually have higher preservatives which is why it's bad if consumed too much, and the seasoning is dominated by MSG. These noodles in video (Sun Noodles) are not that 'instant', which usually contains less preservatives and actually is healthier in itself, especially since it goes to rather established restaurants that uses traditional seasonings and lots of healthier ingredients. *by 'less instant' I mean, here in Asian countries you can find common instant noodles that could last to 6months-1 year in circulation/before eaten, and 'restaurant/household' noodles that last far less (a few days or weeks until expiration) on the rack and is definitely 'fresh'er. other than the matter of preservatives, they also usually undergo a different process where the more traditional/fresh (restaurant/household ones) are just dried like in old/classic conventional ways used for ages, and one in instant noodles are fried too before dried (so it's basically precooked, like frozen foods, with preservatives) and is definitely 'less' fresh. that's why usually asian people who know their noodles don't even usually call the restaurant/household ones as 'instant' noodles despite looking the same. they're like - almost - 'fresh' pasta, just widely distributed. so yeah you - are - actually served better things in the ramen restaurants, especially fancy ones; you are actually paying for something uncomparable to 'ones you can make at home' (common misconception about instant noodles).
I'm not that knowledgeable about noodles but I think it's only possible with lots of solidifier agents (which mostly are not healthy), but it also varies from the base ingredients (that are healthier). there's been a lot of innovation in noodles modifying the ingredients with (usually something healthier) veggies or other base for the flour. Like there's one wheat-based, typical-flour based, rice-based, added with greens or potato or yams in the dough, etc and one holds better soaked than the other (like in various japanese noodles from ramen to udon). Sadly I kind of forgot which types are the better ones in the broth, I'm sorry. It's kind of a start tho if you want to do slight research, hope it helps.
Glad I saw this. I live in Hawaii and I always thought Sun Noodle was a Chinese owned business since there was a Sun Chinese Chop Sui House in Kalihi near the Sun Noodle factory. Fact is even the Sun Noodle factory on King Street looked Chinese. LOL Always like Sun Noodles.
Ummmmm 2:08 They add sylicone rubber to their food? I remember hearing that they put plastics in their ramen but to hear it right from the horses mouth is geeeesh.
can't travel... so I wish there were more ramen restraunts... spread out more... like I wish there was one where I live in marinette wisconsin... I would love that so much... so many genreric restraunts around here... only "intresting" one is this true canjun restraunts.. bar and grill called "pearl"
One day I had the desperate need to eat Ramen. I realized there was one VERY old package left. Expired btw. Lol I opened it. The noodles were moving!!!! WTF?!?!?!?!?! Today I explain it as chemical reaction.
Ramen noodles you buy at the store isn't good for you. Each pack of noodles cost 0.25$. Really cheap quality. THIS IS WHY YOU GO TO THE ASHEN MARKET FOR NOOOODLES
You had me so excited until you said, 'EGG WHITE." Veganism is on the rise and as a Vegan myself, I could never eat your product. Plus chickens are being abused in the process. Sad face. We really have to get away from suing so many animals in food production.
I live in Honolulu and do buy his high quality noodle. Really good. He used to have a huge bottle of ramen concentrate with pkg of fat. First class base. But they don’t carry it anymore. something about imported pkg fat can’t pass local law. They sell non concentrated but. That goes fast.
no one noticed when he said they are straight or wavy... only difference is a silicone additive.. YOU ARE EATING SILICONE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I lived in Utsunomiya for 3 years. Now i live in Oyama, next town over on the Shinkansen. I love the Ramen here. Where is your families Ramen shops here in Tochigi?
Sun Noodle needs to do some damage control. Because of bad phrasing, some now believe their noodles have silicone rubber. The director or producer even the editor should have caught that. Should have done a retake.
"this is what made sun noodle the best" Sorta, i mean their standard packaged stuff or kits are meh at best. What made them popular with the restaurant industry is they do mostly custom orders using whatever recipe the restaurant provides.
fast food and a lot of packaged foods are bound to have some chemical due to preservatives and flavor. these noodles are probably nothing compared to everything in a burger at mcdonalds or anywhere
