This is the dehydrated ramen. So we’re gonna try to get it into this disc right here. Okay. What up? It’s your boy Josh, aka the Fry Daddy, aka Captain Spork, aka Mr. Mega Stove. And it’s that time again. It’s that time again for the first time in two years, welcome back. It’s time to take two iconic snacks, smash them together, and see if they create a beautiful snack baby. Now we asked you which two snacks you wanna see smashed together and you said. Oreo and Top Ramen. Oreo? These are Oreos and this is Top Ramen. Lily, you are gaslighting me. You have to stop gaslighting me, it’s not working. Will this snack be a smash? Find out, ’cause this is Smash Snack. Before we start, we gotta decide if we’re making Ramen Oreos or Oreo ramen. Okay. I feel incredible about Snack Smash being back. If I’m honest, I don’t remember why we didn’t do it, but someone sent me a tweet and was like, “Can you bring back Snack Smash?” And I was like, “What the hell is Snack Smash?” But at least they didn’t ask me to bring back Food Fears. I have an idea. We got Oreos right here. We gotta make some ramen Oreos. You just gotta see how the flavor… No, don’t, poo poo it before you try. Wait, that’s so much powder. It’s so much yellower than I imagined. Okay, I need my vegetables, The way I feel about ramen is that I freaking love it. I used to eat a pack a day, and by used to I mean like last week I did that. Yeah, this is the healthy part of ramen. You get a little, just- It’s gonna be so dry. Shush, shush, no, you hydrate it with your spit. Here. Okay, this is ramen Oreos. To Snack Smash’s triumphant return. Now the open Oreo with ramen powder, that’s actually a very special dish to me. My grandma invented this dish, she gave me the recipe, and I just wanted to show Lily, you know, something from my heritage where I come from. She called it Ramoreos. It’s a portmanteau of Ramen and Oreo you dummy. It’s like if you dropped a bunch of Fritos into a thing of Ovaltine. Mmm. It’s kinda good, you like it? What the hell’s wrong with your palette? We’ve ruined you. You realize that? Yeah, I don’t know what’s happening. I wasn’t surprised when Josh passed me an Oreo with a ramen packet in it. That’s something that he would have done off camera as well. Ramen flavored Oreos. Yeah, no, not gonna work. No, no, no, not not gonna work, not gonna work. So we’re doing… Ruined my day. We’re making Oreo flavored ramen. Because right now we’re gonna be making the Oreo flavor noodles. We’re gonna do, like, the classic flavor of Oreos, which is mostly this stuff. That, it smells dark. It smells dark. This is called black cocoa. So this is like why Oreos taste more chocolatey than any other chocolatey cookie out there, it’s black cocoa. So we’re doing, like, a pretty traditional ramen noodle, right? Yes. What separates ramen noodles from, like, an Italian noodle? I don’t know. It’s this. Wait, what? No, it’s baking soda. So baking soda Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. is a big thing in a lot of… Like, the Japanese suffix men literally means noodle which comes from the Chinese mien. And, like, the big difference in that is that you’re using sodium bicarbonate, aka baking soda, to give it a chewier texture, it also gives it that little yellow color. So we add that to water first because we do wanna make legit ramen noodles. But we’re trying to make instant ramen noodles, which has, like, some extra… Do we just dump this in there? Yeah, just dump it in. I’ll just dump it in right now. Eh, eh. Desert ramen, you down? I really don’t know how this dish is going to work. You basically have to add a lot of cocoa powder to the dough and I don’t know how that’s gonna react to it, but it does sound really good. So we got Dutch processed cocoa, that’s an alkali processed cocoa powder, I believe. It just has a little bit more chocolateyness than a normal cocoa powder. And then the black cocoa is really gonna give it that lovely, lovely color. A little powdered sugar. Just for the sweetness. And then we got, this is pure chocolate extract, which is the stuff that, like, makes Tootsie Rolls, taste like Tootsie Rolls. Salt. And then vital wheat gluten. This is literally… So gluten is the protein that is in wheat and some other things that effectively gives noodles their tensile strength. And we want these to be the strongest noodles, because once we mix this up we then gotta… You do it. I don’t know how to work machines, I’m scared. Oh it’s not… We’re so good at cooking. Yeah, there it is. So that gluten is what’s going to, like, make the noodles really hold together. And especially because we’re doing some, like, silly chicanery here, we want the extra strength, we want the extra balance. Strong noodles for strong growing mythical kitcheneers. Lily, show them your muscles. We’re big boys. You’ve been, you’ve been doing- Honestly, I’ve been working out. Look at that. I know. Oh, what, Pilates? Why would you assume Pilates, because I’m a girl? No. For legal purposes I don’t assume that only women do Pilates. Were an equal opportunity employer here at Mythical Entertainment. You could… Listen, listen. No, no, no, don’t you come here accusing me of sexism. I went to a Pilates class recently, and I was the only man, and I was embarrassed, not because I was a man doing Pilates, because I was bad at it. It’s very difficult. Lily, I respect your Pilates habit. Also, Lily’s deceptively swole. I like a lot of reps. And, you know, you see some results coming in. As it’s spinning up. We’re going to toss in this sodium by carbonate water. Eh, eh. Do you believe in adding things gradually to mixes? Eggs, yes, but I don’t… Like, for water you just throw it in, I think. The machine takes care of it. Yeah, figures it out. I think we gotta get this together by hand eventually, right? Yeah. All right. Hell yeah. It smells so chocolatey. It’s the chocolate extract that just makes it, like, utterly reek. I think this is gonna turn out really well. There is precedent for sweet pastas as well as sweet soups throughout the world; in Poland they will just put butter and sugar on pasta, or they’ll even eat it with milk, which I think is really rad. So I was about to say another example of a sweet soup that’s also from Poland. I think this will work really well with the Polish American market. Lily, come on. Come on, you gotta knead it. You gotta get the strong forearms. You gotta get the strong, the buff Italian grandma forearms. The forearm della nonna, that’s what we need. I’m a nonna, call me nonna. That’s right, can you… what’s Italian for grandson? Italiano grandson, good job. That’s racist. That’s pretty good. I think this looks great. We’ve got like a lump of, little, like, turd lump. There’s some ramen powder in there. Oh that was me, I blew it all around. Oh yeah. All right, so we got this. We’re gonna roll this out, extrude it into ramen noodles, and then we get the boiling. Can you start rolling out that dough? We’re gonna feed it through the pasta sheeter. And then we actually have the, I’ll call it a ramen attachment. I’ll call this a ramen attachment. technically it’s probably the, like, capellini attachment or whatever. But we, you know, it’s gonna be thin, delicious, chocolatey noodles. And hey, speaking of Oreos, go over sporked.com to see all the Oreo content you could ever want. Check out Jordan Myrick’s article about what your Oreo preferences says about your pride partying style. You don’t have to wait until pride month next year, start doing your research early now. All right, so Lily, tell me about the secrets behind not messing up extruding pasta on a pasta sheeter, because I can’t do it. You can’t roll it out? No. Can I try, can I try? You just gotta- Yeah, yeah, yeah. You just gotta turn the handle. So the pasta sheeter has different settings on it by the width of the way you’re rolling your pasta out. So you always wanna roll out your dough a little bit, set your pasta sheeter to zero, run it through there a couple times, and then you gradually add on the numbers, and that will make the sheets of dough thinner and thinner to whatever thinness that you’d like it. Look, you’re doing it. Yeah, but I’m not comfortable. Wow, it looks great, Josh. Yeah, thanks. Okay, wait. No, no, no, let me do it again. But how do you switch hands now? No, I can do it. Okay. No, don’t, I don’t… Help, help. Oh my… Help. Josh’s moods range from panicking a lot about something that he’s cooking, to coming into the kitchen and rummaging through the fridge, and just eating whatever he can find. You know, there weren’t really many surprises when I came to work here. This smells like wet dog. It does, but, like, in an Oreo way. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, like a dog, like… Okay, because, like, if a dog got an Oreo in its mouth- It would die because dogs can’t eat chocolate. No, dogs can eat chocolate. No they can’t. They shouldn’t, but they can. You cannot feed chocolate to dogs. Most dogs are just strays, they’re just living out there, they’re eating out of dumpsters, they’re, I don’t know, hanging out in abandoned warehouses eating little meth crystals that fell on the ground. Like, try not to feed your dog’s meth, but, like, things can happen; it’s a dog. They are resilient. Okay, so instant ramen, it’s not just like raw ramen dough in a cup, it’s, like, dehydrated and then it’s actually, like, deep fried in a weird process in the factory, and that’s what makes it so oily and delicious, and that’s what makes it, like, be preserved and able to be cooked in like one minute. This is looking good now, right? Yeah, that’s nice Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, now we’re gonna run it through the sketti. Do you want me to hold it? Yeah, I need help. We all need help. Listen, there’s no shame in admitting you need a little help. Do I do it? No, but you should. Here we go, here we go. Okay, you don’t turn your hands in there. Oh yeah. It’s gonna be like a Tesla factory in here, all mingled bits. Listen, listen, we’re doing current events. It’s pretty freaking good, right? It looks really good. Do we just, maybe we just- Just throw it in. Okay, you gotta do it, but then you gotta go in with your hands. Oh, do we… No. No, you gotta go in with your hands and kind of break it up. There we go, perfect. My go-to ramen order is, I always get two eggs, and I like it super spicy, lots of mushrooms, bok choy. My go-to ramen order is actually something called tsukemen, which they’ll only serve at a couple ramen places. They call it dipping ramen. You take like a really rich tonkotsu broth that’s with all the collagen from those pork bones, you reduce it down into a gravy, and then you, like, pick up the noodles and dip it in what is ostensibly ramen gravy, and you go… And it’s just one of the best experiences of my entire life. Do you reckon at this point in the process that this is gonna be a tasty thing? I think it’s gonna be good if you like your Oreos, like, hot and chewy. I actually do, is the messed up thing. What do you do? Like, dip it in, like, hot milk or something? Yeah. Well, not necessarily, I’ll… this is an actual thing that I do. I’ll take Oreos… This is a special occasion. Thick Oreos, put it in a coffee mug, cover it with milk, microwave it, let it sit for five minutes, let it rest, and then it just becomes a paste that you can eat with a spoon. Why do you eat so many pastes? What do you mean? Literally, the world is built on flavorful pastes. No, That was the only desserts they had for thousands of years. It was like, uh, we ground nuts with, like, honey now it’s flavor paste, eat it. Yeah, well we’re not a thousand years ago. We should have been. There’s crunch now. They weren’t so much different than us. They weren’t so much different than us. You know, all the world’s religions that, you know, all believe in the same stuff, Why not believe in flavorful pastes? That’s all I’m saying. That’s fair. Except for Scientology, that’s a new one. Should we do type five on Scientology? All right, noodles are done. So we’re just gonna shock them in an ice bath so it stops the cooking immediately, and then we can go in and we can just kinda, like, twiddle it like that so it makes sure they don’t stick together. They look like a little wormies. They look like dirt and worms, look at that. Wormies. Did you grow up eating dirt and worms? Chocolate pudding, Oreo crumbs on top, boom, gummy worms. Flavors make absolutely no sense. In a vacuum, I don’t love it, but when you were a kid, so special. Yes, actually. Wait, hold on, are you talking about, like, actual earth worms? Yeah. Hold on, you just ate dirt and worms? Well… My mom had looked over at me at my brother’s baseball game and I had a worm hanging over my mouth like this and she snatched it away. But I’ve been to a lot of my brother’s baseball games and I’m pretty sure a few probably got down. I actually really enjoyed cooking worms. I’ve fried some earth worms, did a nice little tempura batter on it. I’ve cooked a lot of meal worms. Although one time I ordered meal worms to my house and it freaked me out cause I thought they’d be dead, but they were alive, so I just threw them in the freezer. But it turns out you can freeze meal worms and they come back to life, so then I just threw them directly into the pan. But I made, like, an al pastore kind of marinade and put them in tacos, they’re good. We got the chocolate noodles out. We need to figure out how to make them a circle, so we can fit them into the actual top ramen thing. Right. Do you think we’re equipped to do that? Yeah. I feel like we have circular things to put it in. Circle thing, plus heat, plus time, equals top ramen? Yes, that’s the formula. I believe in the equation. That’s the only math I know. All right Josh. So we have our noodles here. They’ve been drying out a little bit. We are going to dehydrate them into this ramekin over here. It’s about the same size, right, as this. This is the dehydrated ramen. So we’re gonna try to get it into this disc right here. Okay. Anyone can put wet noodles in a cup, but it’s really important that we actually dehydrate these noodles to mimic the top ramen itself. So we’re putting in a ramekin that’s almost the exact size as the cups that the top ramen are coming in. And when you dehydrate the noodles, we’re actually gonna spray a little bit of the non-stick spray on it, because ramen noodles are deep fried in the factory, and that’s gonna allow it to hydrate really, really well. So it’s cooked, then dehydrated, then recooked, eliminating a lot of the cooking time. So we’re gonna dehydrate this. That’s a satisfying thud. We’re gonna dehydrate that until that’s just completely dehydrated. Josh is surprisingly very similar to how he is on camera and in real life. I feel like Lily would describe me as deceptively professional, because I think I am deceptively professional. Really? This is going great. Alright, we got the noodles. I feel really good about this plan. I think it’s gonna work. There’s nothing that should stop it from working. No, no, totally. Because we’re kick ass at cooking. Yeah, we don’t mess up at all. No. No. We have the noodles, and now the powder is the other part. So we’re gonna make a little powder packet. Powdered sugar. We want this to be sweet. This is a dessert product. They got the savory ramen on lock. We’re coming in with a sweet ramen. So we want powdered sugar. And then we’re actually going with a little bit of dehydrated milk powder, because that’s gonna turn it, actually milky, and not just be sweet water. And then we got a bunch of Oreo fillings that we ran through a dehydrator, just in case. But I guess Oreo filling would already be dehydrated, because it is literally, it’s just hydrogenated oil. Yep. Which no longer has trans fats in it, because look up the Nabisco Oreo trans fat lawsuit, really fascinating history behind it. But any whom. Partially hydrogenated oil, powdered sugar, that’s basically what that is. So that means there’s a lot of fat going in there. And any time you’re trying to turn fat into a powder, you add maltodextrin, because that’s what’s gonna actually soak that up. And then we got a little bit of sour cream powder, because we’re just… Yeah, right. Mm. Then we got vanilla powder in there just to give some actual flavor, so it’s not just sweet. So we got all that chocolate extracts and vanilla extract, and that’s just gonna create that really, like, I’d call it like a heady aroma, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you ever, like… I was just gonna do that, dude, what the hell? Try it, I wanna see what happens. No, I’ve done that before. I broke a… Well, no, I stuck a knife into a blender once, roll the tape. Ahh! Did I do that? Jaleel White, come on the show. So we combine all these powders. Hopefully all the fat is absorbed by that maltodextrin and we can get a nice, like, clean powder on there. All right, probably ain’t gonna get more blended than that. Uh-oh, it’s still on. Don’t put your hand in there. Eh, okay. It reeks of dairy. Oh yeah. It reeks of dairy. I can really smell the milk powder. Okay, so you know how the government just pays farmers to dump millions of gallons of milk into the soil every year? No, I didn’t know that. Look up the dairy subsidy. Why? Because it has to do with, like, World War II and supply lines, and almond milk, because we don’t like dairy anymore. Oh. We got a bunch of people like Nicole, like “I’m lactose intolerant,” it’s like, they used just deal with it. People used to crap their pants all the time and now we’re dumping millions of gallons of dairy into the soil. Anyways, it feels like one of those fields that they did that, because this just reeks of, kind of, rotten dairy. Let’s try it. Yeah, it definitely does. I don’t know why we have the, like, shawarma spoon here. Eat it. Is it good? I mean. Wait, wait. Well up the spit in your mouth and see how it hydrates it. Nice, smooth. So smooth. Smooth milky broth in my mouth. I’m still confident, I’m still confident. Okay, we’re making our little packet. Here, open the packet. Okay. This is gonna go great. This is gonna work. No Lily, this is gonna be great. Hold on. Just don’t take- Confidence. This into an airport. No. Are you getting any in your pants? Yeah. Yeah, that happens to me too. I am very skeptical of this Oreo ramen, but I actually do think it’s gonna be a smash. I feel good about that. Yeah, that looks great. I’m not gonna lie, we’ve had a lot of misses on Snack Smash before, but Oreo ramen I think is kind of a guarantee to hit. It’s gonna be sweet. It’s gonna be creamy. It’s gonna be chewy, chocolatey and noodley. I don’t see any way this could go wrong. We have the noodles dehydrating. We got our pack. The only thing left to do is cut to the packaging. Alrighty friends, we’ve got our official Top Ramen Oreo flavor here. It used to have a racist name and then they changed it to Oreo flavor. Yeah That’s a joke. Look up the history of the soy sauce flavor. Anywho, let’s open up the packages. Also, I’m here now, hi. Oh, I should explain what’s going on. We are all going to construct our bowls of ramen. We got the delicious dehydrated noods in there. We got our powder packet. And then we’re all gonna decide whether or not this snack is a smash or pass. Trevor, you’re our unbiased judge who had nothing to do with this process. Yes, I’m merely an observer, a watcher. A UN white hat. And a taster. Wait, do you go powder first when you make Ramen, Josh? Yeah, do you not?. After. I go after. Why? I’m pouring. Oh, shoot. Oh no, oh dear god. Pour with confidence. It’s been 12 days since our last scalded crotch in mythical kitchen. Wait, wait, you add the powder after? Yeah. But I want all the flavors to infuse. I don’t think that’s a real thing. All right, all right, all right. Okay, okay, okay. Shut the lid, shut the lid, shut the lid. Now we have to wait three minutes. So you’re telling me I have to add this after? I don’t know. I don’t think there’s rules, Josh, I’ve just always added it after. Wow, look at those flavors infuse, you’ve got them all on top of the dry. No, I normally add it and then pour the water on. Oh, now we have to wait three minutes. Open up this ramen. Add the seasoning packets. Oh my gosh. Give it a nice little jimmy, I mean… Oh, wow. This is so dumb. Holy freaking cannoli. It’s funny because it’s creamy. I mean, we got all the powdered milk in there, and so it’s giving that creamy Oreo vibes. What the heck? It smells so good. What’s going on in here? It smells good, but it’s kind of got that weird like… Adding water to powdered milk isn’t the same as drinking milk. Anyone who grew up drinking powdered milk, I don’t know how many of you there are out there, knows that it is not the same, that’s kind of what we’re working with. But if you’re making a pre-packaged food item, that’s what it’s. It’s like tinging the broth a little bit, that kinda, like, cocoay purpleishness. I’m gonna just sip it real quick. You’re doing for a sip? It’s sweet, it’s vanillay, it’s milky, it’s fatty. Oh good. Oh my god. I love it. So hot. Oh my god, oh fudge, dude. I messed up. This being absolutely molten hot. I act like this is the first time I’ve ever eaten ramen and burned the hell outta myself. No, you gotta burn the hell out of yourself when you’re eating ramen. This is really interesting. There’s things about this that I’m loving. Yeah. Well, it is winter in Los Angeles, which means it’s a cool 55 degrees outside, and this is making me feel very cozy right now. It’s cozy. I mean, are there some drawbacks? Sure; it’s Oreo flavored ramen. I get that criticism of it, but like, you know, there’s some freaking fun and magic, there is some magic going on these bowls. Are you eating this for, like, dinner? Are you eating this for dessert? That’s a hell of a question. Half the time when I get home I’m just eating, just, like, I’m making mug cakes for dinner. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. So to me there’s no rules, just right, welcome to outback. Is like a great hot cocoa substitute, you know? You’re tired of the same old hot cocoa. Do you want something sweet, something warm, something to, you know, lift your spirits up, this is, it hits all those check boxes. Because what’s the one problem with hot cocoa? There’s not enough spaghetti in it. Exactly. You can’t chew hot cocoa. Y’all ready to decide whether or not they’re smashes or passes? Yeah. All right everyone, pick up your paddles. Smash or pass. And I’m gonna do a 3, 2, 1, and then afterwards, after one. So we don’t reveal on one. After it. We reveal on a silent zero. Yeah. 3, 2, 1, and then reveal. Yeah, and then reveal, all right. 3, 2, 1, pause? Or 3, 2, 1, go? No, no. It’s gonna be on the same cadence as 3, 2, 1, go. And then it’s there. So you would be, the way that you described to be 3, 2, 1, silent zero, and then we’re at a negative one, but this is, we’re going on the silent zero. Okay. So it’s gonna be a 3, 2, 1, reveal. Okay. Okay, good, good, good. 3, 2, 1. This is an easy… Yeah, get out of here. You did it early. What? You did it on one. No, but the problem is because I was flipping it. Okay, let’s go back. 3, 2, 1. Holy smokes, it’s a smash. Oh my god, smash! That’s crazy. First time I’ve ever seen it. Good job. I didn’t do anything. Good job. Yeah, well hey, good job being here judging. This freaking rules. This is really good. This absolutely rules. Yeah, I love it. When would you eat this in the day? I would think dessert, probably. Yeah. What if you just had a big bowl of noodles for dinner, would you then go to a big bowl of noodles for dessert? Probably, I love noodles. Actually yeah, same. I love noodles. Yeah. This is a nice little, you wake up on a cozy Saturday, you know, you sleep in a little bit, it’s 10 in the morning, and you, I’m gonna curl up on the couch with a book and have a little Oreo ramen. Oh, breakfast. Kinda nice. I’m gonna watch my little murder documentaries. Yeah, this is great. I think there’s a market for this for breakfast. Because they already make Oreo O’s, right? They got the Oreo flavored cereal. Somehow we’ve convinced Americans that breakfast should just be chock full of sugar and here we are. There’s a ton of sugar in this, you know? I think we can start selling breakfast noodles. Noodles are commonly eaten breakfast all across East Asia and Southeast Asia. I think we can bring this to the American market. I think Nissin and Nabisco, Nissinbisco. Everything in the world’s gonna be one company in 10 years anyway, we know y’all are about to merge. Come to us for this idea, we’ll sell it to you cheap. Cheap. We’ll give you Trevor’s unpaid labor. What? No, please don’t. You’ll sweep the floors and you’ll like it Snack Smash is back baby. I don’t know what Lily’s doing with all that white powder, but that’s making me nervous. She’s about to try and get me in on one of her weird pyramid schemes again if she got all hopped up on that sugar. But real, thanks y’all for coming on this journey. And thank you all for watching.
