Today we’re taking Instant Ramen to the logical end result. Very long, arduous ramen. ((Intro Music)) Welcome back to Mythical Kitchen, where dreams become food. And we have another addition of our shocking, always unexpected 2v2 food battles. Today, the ballpark we’re playing in, Instant Ramen. How instant can we make it? Will, one of us try and braise an animal part for up to nine hours, rendering it the exact opposite of instant find out. Now we have all lost track of each other’s records. The only thing that we know is. Trevor? No, I’m saying that’s one of the, you’re a very talented cook and a very talented person in general, but your record has not, I mean, we’re all sort of in the same boat and then, you know, so I feel like we should let Nicole draft first. Okay. I want to be with you. Yep. No, no. Yes! Let’s go! We got the two wild. Trevor and Lily, the dynamic duo. No! Oh, yeah! It’s going down and I’m yelling timber. Your day can only go up from here. ((Music)) Now, Nicole, you and I both grew up playing basketball in Southern California. God almighty. And when you grow up playing basketball in Southern California, you are just inundated with Filipino food. In the best way. Remember after games, we’d go out and instead of orange slices, there’d be. Lumpia. Lumpia! That’s right! I’m sorry, I thought we were, I thought I was doing this with Vi. No, but I do love Filipino food. Do you love Filipino food? I love Filipino food. What’s not to love about Filipino food? There’s nothing not to love about Filipino food. It’s delicious. It’s delicious, and you got a lot of braised meats, a lot of one pot dishes, so we’re making kare-kare. Yeah, the dish so nice. They named it twice! They really did. Actually, it’s a common thing in Tagalog to, if you really. Like something, you say it twice. She knows! Dang it, Nicole! I do my research. You’re the smartest person I’ve ever met. That’s such a lie. Who is the smartest person I’ve ever met? I don’t know, you tell me. Oh no, I don’t wanna say it, it’s weird. It’s your ex-girlfriend? It’s my ex, yeah. I know, yeah. No, listen, no. That’s a little convoluted. People don’t talk bad about their exes, like, you know, it’s, don’t do that. All right, so we got the oxtails fully braised. These are super shreddy. We’re gonna shred that up. Super shreddy. And now, what are you doing? I’m adding some onion, because the base of, of all foods. Most of them is onion. Would you agree with that statement? No, it should be all foods. Yeah, all foods should have a base of alliums. I agree with that. Onion and garlic. I mean, honestly, add onion and garlic to literally everything you do. But the main flavors in this dish, they’re coming from onion, they’re coming from garlic, and then peanut butter. PB! PB, baby, that’s the thing. Kare-kare, it, I mean, literally kind of means curry. Curry, yeah. They think it was created from Indian soldiers on British ships trying to recreate the flavors of their home. No way. In the Philippines, there’s a ton, a ton of trade. Went through the Philippines for several hundred years. So I’m just gonna add a little bit of pepper. Along with the onions and garlic. I think just like, and I think, yeah, now it’s good. That’s perfect. Well, no, because I noticed there was. Yeah, you know sometimes it’s like, I miss cooking with you and then sometimes. Why? I think I know perfectly well when to sit back and know my place. What? What do you want me to do now? I feel like there should be about like 8 percent more onions in there. Really? Do you want me to shred this up with my hands? Yeah, that’d be awesome if it’s not too hot. If it’s not too hot. Ow. I just said if it’s not too hot. Help! Ow! While our onions are being cooked down nicely and, Josh is putting himself through immense pain. Make sure to head over to Mythical Society and check out Mythical Food Week, where you’re gonna see your favorite Mythical Kitcheneers cooking up food from GMM as well as Mythical Kitchen. I actually made an iteration of this kare-kare on that and you should definitely check it out. This is like when Harry Potter had to feed Gandalf the thing in the cave. Oh my god I just finished watching all Harry Potter movies. Really? They were so good. Who’s your favorite wizard? I’m a big fan of Nymphadora Tonks I like Radagast. So, I’m gonna add some bagoong Tell them about bagoong. It’s a salted, fermented shrimp paste. It is a flavor punch. This is the boss root and palm heel strike to the face of fermented shrimp products. Let me try it. I think it’s always important, oh my God. Oh! That is the X going to give it to ya, of fermented shrimp paste. I think it’s important to taste your shrimp paste to know. To know how much salt to add. Geez Louise, that is so delicious. So I’m gonna add some of that. Oh god! Let that cook down nice. Get that nice and caramelized. We want that funk. I gotta wash myself. Go ahead. I’ll start cooking Fish sauce, bam! I’m gonna add the peanut butter. I’m adding the peanut butter. Oh, that’s a flavor bomb. Is there a reason why we went with chunky over smooth? Yeah, cause like traditionally this would be made with, like the nuts would be kind of ground fresh and, and toasted, and all that, and so like, I like the chunk of peanut in there, but obviously now you got a bunch of convenience products, you can just use that in there. Yeah. Josh, you haven’t even mentioned I’m wearing glasses today. Nicole, you’re wearing glasses today. Thank you so much. They look really nice. You look smarter than you normally do, which is very smart. Oh my gosh! I really tried to channel you as I got dressed this morning. I was like, if Josh was a woman and a Persian Jew, what would he wear? And so, I went with glasses, hoops, a like, a like kind of what, like a trucker style shirt, and, and sneakers and jeans. And I’m like, Josh would wear this. I’d wear a wig. So now we’re gonna blend it. Yay, I want the onions just get nice, and blend it up here just a little bit just a light blend, just a light blend Nicole, then the peanut butter is gonna continue to thicken it and then we’re gonna toss it in, I left the bone. Here, toss in the meat. Don’t you wanna put it on top? What? Don’t you wanna put the meat on top so it looks nice and pretty? No. I want to. I don’t want to. I want to. Why are you, why, why, Why are we talking like that? Okay, hear me out. Hear me out. Cause no, we have another delicious meat garnish on top. And I feel that should be our pretty meat garnish on top. We have surprises for you. We have surprises in store. I feel like we get the meat nice and shreddy in there. Okay. I’m just gonna dump it in, okay? Okay, dumpy, dumpy. God, so smart. I love it, I love it. Wow, that color is gorgeous. Where do you think I rank in terms of like, the smartest people you’ve met? For me? Yeah, yeah. I think you’re definitely top ten. Who’s number one? Mitchell Frieder. Mitchell Frieder, I challenge you to an honor duel. ((Music)) Hey, do you wanna cook by switching glasses? Yeah. Okay, don’t be shocked when you see how bad my eyesight is. Am I, wait, am I yassified? I’m gonna throw up. I’m gonna throw up. I don’t feel good. Oh my god. Yeah, yeah, my eyesight’s really bad. Oh, it’s like I’m in, it’s like I’m in Cloverfield. I don’t know what that means. Remember in Cloverfield they’re shaking the camera everywhere and you feel like you’re gonna. Yeah, I have astigmatism, A-hole. Same, I have an asymmetrical astigmatism. I didn’t mean it. We’re making longanisa right now. Longanisa is one of my top three favorite very red, very sweet sausages of the Philippines In fact, it might be my number one. So it’s flavored with a lot of garlic, a lot of soy, there is a fair amount of sugar in it, and then there’s a lot of red. And also, we’re gonna throw in some ramen packet. You’re gonna add ramen packet to it? You’re crazy. You can only add a quarter, because we have to do it for other stuff. Just a little bit. A quarter of it. You wanna taste it? No. This is Jin ramen, which is one of the top, wait, hold on. Oh my god. I know, it tastes really Okay, that’s good. That’s good. Get that. A little bit more. Okay. So I’m gonna keep adding some stuff. I added some cane vinegar, some annatto seed powder. You gotta get in on this, dude. Nicole. Oh my gosh. Just the dust, just the dust, just a little, just the first taste is free. Yeah! That’s pretty damn good. Oh my god. The saliva glands are glowing. I’m gonna start gleeking. Remember gleeking? Do I remember gleeking? Oh my, I remember a kid gleeked on me in the, wait, what? You don’t remember gleeking? Of course I remember gleeking! I don’t know if you’re kidding or not! I don’t understand your sense of humor. So we’re gonna blend this up right now. I’m just waiting, Nicole. Whenever you need me. I didn’t add any red food dye, but I can. I feel it. I feel strongly you should add red food dye. The best longanises that I have. Two feels stronglies in one episode. My goodness. Somebody’s feeling very strongly today. I’m a man of strong feelings. And also one of the reasons I have such strong feelings about kare-kare specifically. It’s because Nanay Gloria, best steam table Filipino spot in the entirety of the valley. I really want to go. Yeah, but you go in there on the weekdays and you go, hey, do you have the kare-kare? And they’re like, nah, because Maria’s in here. She only comes on Saturdays and she’s the only one that’s allowed to make the kare-kare. And I’m like, well, you give me Maria’s number. Like, what’s, what’s the sitch? Beause like, I really want this. And then I go in on Saturday and they’re like, Maria didn’t show up. We ain’t got no kare-kare. And so we have to make ourselves now. But shout out to Nanay Gloria. They do great work. Is this good? Yeah, yeah, that’s good. That’s good. I’ll do it one more time. We’ll taste her off. Okay, scotch egg. What we’re doing is, whoa, we didn’t even tell them, we’re making a scotch egg. So we’re gonna take the sausage mixture and we’re gonna wrap it around a soft boiled egg like you would see in a bowl of ramen. And then we’re gonna dip that into fresh ramen and deep fry it. You can do it. This might be a bit much. Okay. We’re trying to get it like kind of thin. We’re trying to make it a nice discreet sausage. I’m here to assist you however I can. Can I take my gloves off? This looks good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Go for it. Go for it. I say that to my dentist too when he says that. He’s just like, these are annoying. So he goes in your mouth raw? Yeah, yeah. Just straight up, you know. Okay. That looks really good. We’re making sausage ball. You gotta be delicate because we’ve soft boiled the egg. The goal is to keep it soft. And then, Nicole, can you lube me up? Yeah, boss. No problem. Anytime you’re working with raw meat, making meatballs, whatever, it just helps to have your hands covered in Pam. Can I tell you a fun story that has nothing to do with what we’re doing right now? Oh, God, I would love that. God, Nicole, I would love that so much. So, my friend, she’s a therapist, and she works at, with like, college level kids. Where’s this going? And she said that, that, a lot of the times they’re really funny and they do things like this. Like whenever she, like, tells them, like, some good advice, they go. You ate. And I think that’s so funny. Like imagine, imagine like being 30 years old and like there’s a 22 year old kid that goes, slay. After you told them to like talk to their parents. Isn’t this the funniest thing you’ve ever heard? You have anxious avoidant attachment style. Purr. Oh. ((Laughing)) Dumping this in egg, we’ve, we’ve crusted it in flour and now we’re gonna get it. Right into the ramen, and we’re just gonna try and pack this all around. Do you remember when like Millennials were the bad young ones that sucked? Like that was the thing for us. People were like, Millennials, you care about things too much. You want to work for mission driven employers. And then Gen Z is just like, the world’s burning. ((Laughing)) And they’re like, you’re probably right though. Couple more rounds. We shouldn’t make fun of them because they’re gonna own everything one day. Yeah, yeah, now with Gen Alpha, I already saw a TikTok of Gen Z making fun of Gen Alpha. Are those like three year olds? Yes, they were ratting on these three year olds like, oh, iPad kids. I grew up and I didn’t have an iPad. And I’m just like, you don’t remember the. ((Imitating Dial-Up Beeps)) Get off the phone, Mom! I’m trying to I.M. Debbie! Yeah. Horrible times. Horrible times. ((Music)) We are gonna get this going. I got a scotch egg. I’m gonna try and slice it. Try and get it. There’s like a fissure right there. Josh. There’s a Bobby Fischer The ramen has been split. Oh no! The prophecy is coming true! I’m just gonna throw these in here, right? The boy who lived! I’m gonna try and get this clean all the way through. Three, two, one. Release. Oh, God! Oh, that’s, oh, baby, baby, get back in there. Get back in there. You’re a bad girl. You’re running away from that egg. What? I don’t like when you talk that way. I’m sorry, I was just cooking. Look at this, though. It looks really beautiful. Look at that, that snossage. That is actually gorgeous. Oh, golly. We got some green beans, some bok choy, lime. Once the noodles are cooked, we’re gonna toss them with our kare-kare sauce. We’re gonna get that in the bowl. Top that with our longanisa ramen crusted scotch egg and then garnish with green beans, bok choy, cilantro, and a little bit of lime. We would have used fresh calamansi, but we couldn’t find it. Now my day’s ruined. ((Music)) Hi, Lillian. Hi. What are we doing? We’re gonna make a dessert ramen! Yeah, we are and just to give you a little, it’s just a look into my sick twisted mind. I call Lily, Lillian, because I think it’s funny. I also. Lily also thinks it’s so funny. And we also think that it’s funny to make a dessert ramen. Because why? Because we’re silly goofy goobers. And I can’t move because I’m wearing a poncho. And you might be thinking, Trevor, why are you wearing a poncho? And it’ll all make sense in time. But, I’m trying to move as little as possible so that Tally doesn’t punch me in the face. Because all the wrestling that the poncho is doing directly over the microphone that is currently strapped to my body. Okay, Trevor is going to be over here, and he’s going to make a chocolate dome. Because we’re going to put a chocolate dome over our ramen to hide it. That’s why I’m wearing the poncho. Because yesterday I did it and I put the balloon in the chocolate to make the bowl shape and then it exploded on me and I ruined the shirt. I don’t want to be your partner anymore. What? We haven’t even started cooking yet. Also I kind of want to lose to keep your streak. What? Saboteur! All right, all right, okay so Tally, buckle up folks because I’m about to get moving here. I’m gonna blow up a balloon. Again, moving as little as possible, hopefully. I am adding half and half to a pot because I’m making a classic crème anglaise ((Laughing)) You gotta go. I can hear the spit in it. ((Laughing)) Crème anglaise ((Air Escaping Balloon)) ((Laughing)) Lily, what are you making? Crème anglaise Lily’s making crème anglaise Crème anglaise translates to a damn good sauce. Okay, okay, okay, check it out, check it out. Hold on what you’re saying. Check this out. This is why I had to blow up two. I can’t grab them. This is what it would be like if Grimace had boobies. ((Laughing)) I’m serious, can I get a new partner? I’m gonna shield you, okay? Because I’m gonna shield you from here. Because what happens is, the chocolate’s hot. I really, if it explodes. No, I’m literally standing in front of you. Tally, how am I doing? Am I doing okay? Awesome. Okay, because this is what happened yesterday is I took the balloon and I was like, okay I got the chocolate on it and then I started shaking it off and then it just went cur-splat! I think I want to microwave it more just so it does pop so you get the full use out of your poncho Yeah, well after this if this works, then I’ll start rubbing chocolate on myself. No. Okay, so then what we do here is we got to do an up, oh, an upwards jiggle Okay. Get the air bubbles out. So what we’re gonna do is we’re gonna pop that there. How are you gonna do it without making sound? I’m shaking. I’m so scared. How am I gonna do without making sound you ask? Check this out I got this little thing. Okay, so that I don’t bang a glass bowl on the counter and then, what we’re doing here I, why is it? Trevor! ((Laughing)) And that’s why we wear the poncho That popped upwards. That’s sad because that one popped upwards, the other one popped downward. Is it on my face? No. Is it on my hat? No. Let’s go! That’s like the best outcome that could have happened from this whole thing. I’m gonna do this because I did it, I tested it yesterday and I didn’t get any chocolate. Well, you obviously weren’t jiggling it like I was. I have chocolate all over me because of you. You should have asked for a poncho. Okay. I’m covered in chocolate. Can you finish the crème anglaise? I don’t know how. I haven’t made crème anglaise since culinary school. I thought you were a baker. We’re gonna win so hard and Josh and Nicole are gonna be so sad because they’re sitting over there watching this and they’re like, oh, yeah, we’re gonna win and then Lily and I are gonna win. They’re gonna be like, wow, we lost to that? Okay. If it pops, you’re in the danger zone. Are you sure you don’t want me to jiggle it? I’m so screwed. You sure you don’t want me to tap it? Lillian, I’m serious. I’ll do it. I’ll put myself in the line of duty again. You hold it like a little baby. You’re doing the voice now. Let’s go. You hold it. I’ve been working with you too long. Twevor. Oh, yeah. We’ll do a little bit at a time. A little bit at a time. This is called tempering. Don’t be scared of tempering. Anyone can do it. Anyone can do it, and you don’t want scrambled eggs. Okay, and so we’re, this is like getting a number one victory royale on Fortnite. What’s your rank? Lily, I have a question for you. What is your, what are your thoughts on who is the greatest racer of all time? Is it Lightning McQueen? Or is it Doc Hudson? Or is it perhaps the other, the one from the third movie, Jackson? Oh, yo, I love that one. We are gonna bring this crème anglaise to a nappe consistency, and that literally means to coat the spoon. So when you draw your finger through it, it’ll leave that finger drawing, and it’ll be a nice thick sauce. Yeah, I tell you what, I’m gonna be ready for a nappe after this, am I right? Up top. ((Laughing)) ((Music)) Oh, you thought this was chashu? No, silly, it’s a loaf of bread. Instead of chashu, we’re going to make French toast with a homemade cinnamon swirl bread that we made yesterday. That we made and then Lily was like, what if we tied strings around it so it looks like chashu? And I was like, yes. I want to trick you guys. Because here’s the thing about us is we’re going all out, okay? We’re not holding any punches. We got the cinnamon swirl bread, and I am gonna be making, these are little shortbread cookies that are covered in white chocolate, and I’m gonna take this more pink white chocolate, and I’m gonna do a little swirl, and that’s gonna be our fish cake. They’re little shortbread cookie fish cakes, and it’s awesome. And, wow. I mean, this is just like that scene in Croods 2. ((Laughing)) Starring Nicolas Cage, Emma Stone, Ryan Reynolds, Peter Dinklage, and many others. Is that your fave move? Is Croods 2 my fave move? Yeah. Totally, dude. Hey, I also brought, this isn’t for cooking, but I brought it out because I thought of a funny joke check this out. This coconut oil is just like me. Unrefined. Oh, I thought you meant white. Virgin and white. And best if used by June 2025. Lily, what are you up to? I’m hole punching this bread. And I’m gonna dip it into this custard. Actually, let me get my butter melting. So true, dude. Check this out. Look at culinary school. We made a crème anglaise I decided, because we didn’t have the right size piping tip, I made a coronet. How crazy is that? That’s crazy. Okay, dude, what the heck? ((Laughing)) Unreal. Okay, I’m folding this over. Holy crap. No leakage on my coronet. There’s a little nibble, but don’t look at that. Do you want to try this bread? Dude, I don’t know if it’s just because I’ve only had three cups of coffee today and nothing to eat, but, like, my hands are shaking. Maybe I shouldn’t be doing the decorating. Did that help? It’s. Do you want coconut oil to lube it up? Because it’s so long and it went. I did stick it in pretty far. Very dry. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry, my ass is in the way. You got one try. And seven others after that. Time to flip on. That’s a fish cake! It looks like the “at” sign. No, it doesn’t. What are you saying? Like. What do you mean? That doesn’t look like. Where do you? Lily obviously not on Twitter. She doesn’t know what the “at” sign looks like. ((Music)) Holy crap, Lily. This is just like Croods: Family Tree season 5, episode 4. The Croods television show. 8 seasons streaming on Hulu. How do you know that? I’m the number one Croods fan. Okay! We’re plating! ((Crowd Cheering)) We got an egg. We got an egg! And it’s not a real egg! It’s a panna cotta egg with custard inside! Yeah! It’s a panna cotta egg with a nice vanilla custard in the middle as a yolk. It’s going to be very sweet and delicious to go on top of our dessert ramen. Let’s get plating. – [Lily] We’re going to put that crème anglaise on the bottom of the plate. And then we’re going to put our ramen on top of that crème anglaise And then we’re going to add our chashu French toast on top of that. And then we’re going to put our fish cake cookies on top of that. – [Trevor] We’re going to top it with our panna cotta egg. That’s got our nice little vanilla custardy filling in there. We’re gonna put the roasted, chopped hazelnuts on. We’re gonna hit it with the fresh mint. We’re gonna hit it with the raspberries. And then we’re gonna top it with the chocolate dome. Dust it in powdered sugar. Bingo, bango, bongo. That’s how we do it in the kitchen. Trevor and Lily style. Croods 3, hopefully, style. ((Music)) Everyone please welcome Annaliese since her last appearance she had was making chicken parmesan with me. We’re excited about Annalise. There’s food in front of you. Please eat it. Do you promise to be a fair and impartial judge? Pour the thing, Lily. Okay, here we go, here we go. Annaliese, for you, we have our dessert ramen. Oh my god, yes, it’s going. Oh, this is the best day ever! Let’s go. Okay, so Annaliese, for you we have our dessert ramen. We’ve got our, our, our Shin ramen. That is our base. It’s been tossed in coconut oil. We’ve topped that with our chashu pork, quote unquote. That is cinnamon swirl bread that has been French toasted. We’ve got fresh raspberries and mint on there. We’ve got a panna cotta egg, with a vanilla custard inside, and chopped and roasted hazelnuts. Lily, did I miss anything? Did I miss anything? You got it all. I got it all, okay. Oh my goodness gracious. We encourage you to mix. The crème anglaise, am I saying that right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Already ridiculous. Nice. Crème anglaise, I saw Josh’s hand. Sorry, sorry, I’m just bad and judgmental. Okay, sweet noodles. Yeah. Never before for me. And feel free to, you can move the chocolate off if you want. It totally works. Yeah? Yeah, it totally works. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Also, while I dig into this pork, I mean French toast. Lily, we didn’t acknowledge your beautiful milestone moment. I’m a fiancée ((Applause)) We love love. I love love. Who’s the lucky guy? Where does he live? What’s his address? He lives in my house. That we equally pay rent for. Wow. Actually, he pays a little bit more. Oh, I love it. A little modern. This is amazing. It’s sweet. As someone who likes chocolate a little bit, but not like too much of it, it’s nice to go from creamy to chocolatey. So many textures. The noodles are not throwing me. That was very fun and exciting. It’s so big. Amazing. Nicole, can you please demonstrate the interactive portion of our dish, please? Hey! Please squeeze a lime on it! Hey! Look at that. Here we have our kare-kare ramen, very Filipino inspired. We have a peanut, bagoong, and oxtail based sauce, ramen mix inside there. We have a longanisa wrapped, ramen crusted scotch egg that’s a sweet sausage, a little bit of green bean, cilantro, bok choy on top. Okay. This smells amazing. I’m very excited. I like that this is your dessert. Oh, yeah, I meant to make a joke about how life’s uncertain, eat dessert first, and how that’s a very boomer thing to say. What if I told you you just did? ((Laughing)) Slay. Oh, man. Oh, wow. Oh, my gosh. I’m cutting it with my spoon. The egg’s still jammy, very impressive. Love the redness of the longanisa sausage here. Thank you for noticing. It’s food day. We have an egg too. Oh, I didn’t eat the egg! Oh my gosh. You didn’t eat the egg? There’s an egg. Eat dessert first and third. Keep going back and forth. Okay, I’m getting the crunchy edge of your scotch egg. The sausage is spicy and savory and nice. Vegetables perfectly blanched. Vegetables are important. Even the crunchy peanut butter is working there. Hey. Where’s the egg at? Have some respect. Have some respect. Jammy as well. Oh my gosh. Perfectly jammy panna cotta egg. I don’t even care for those. I was just happy to be in the presence of this dish. Dang, you guys. I feel really lucky to be eating this today. I’m proud of all you guys. All the time. Can we huddle? Annaliese, you’re gonna put your hand over the winning dish. Okay, I will. 3, 2, 1. That’s 3, 2, 1. Yes! So deserved! Good job, you guys. You honestly deserved it. If this didn’t win, I was gonna be so mad. This feels better than watching Croods 2 in theaters. Annaliese, thank you so much. You guys, that was literally one of the sickest things ever made in Mythical Kitchen. I just felt like I was a fan watching over there. I would like to challenge any two people in the world, any two people, to cook against Lily and I. ((Laughing)) We’re unstoppable. We’re undefeated. We’re the best to ever do it. You are not undefeated. Well no, you and me together. Dude, come on. We’re celebrating Mythical Food Week all week long. Check out new videos every day at mythicalsociety.com
