Uncle Roger call him Uncle Gordon

This time he back making ramen

Can he keep his Uncle title?

Or is he gonna lose it?

Let's see, let's see

Hello niece and nephew

New neon sign!

It Uncle Roger rice cooker

What you think? What you think?

Leave comment

Let Uncle Roger know what you think of my neon light

Wait, before we even start

Why Gordon looks so shiny?

What is this Madame Tussauds bullshit?

Right, come one, let's be honest: Ramen is that comfort food that we all love

Especially on a cold day

But today, trust me

I'm gonna show you how to elevate that notoriously cheap dish into something delicious

And guess what? Gimme a V!

That's right, vegetarian!

What?

Gordon making vegetarian food?

Gordon, I thought you hate vegetarian

I'm allergic to vegetarians

I come out in a rash

Why you making vegetarian food now, Gordon?

Why you bow down to those people?

What the point of having all those knife back there if you vegetarian?

What you gonna use that cleaver for?

Bok choy?

And guess what?

Gimme a V!

But 'Gimme a V' is actually good pick up line

Niece and nephew, go to bar

Find a woman you like

And tell her to give you a v

Sorry children

Right, come in, Oscar let me show you the ingredients

Egg noodles, delicious

Egg noodle?

Uh oh, Uncle Gordon already make mistake

Egg noodle, wrong noodle

Ramen should use wheat alkaline noodle

This not starting well

3 and 1/2 minutes

Beautiful seaweed, scallions

Seaweed good, scallion tofu correct, ginger good

Cauliflower

These are the secret ingredient

Cauliflower

Dried shiitake mushrooms

Shiitake, good

They're gonna rehydrate

Right, let's have 10 minutes on the clock, so

Wait, ramen at least take 10 hours, he making in 10 minutes

I don't think this gonna go well

Keep watching, see if Uncle Roger correct

Get them on a spoon and drop them into that water, okay

Please time me 6 minutes

6 minutes, correct

Bring it out to the bowl

Boil them gently, I want to boil that some... little bit yolky bit in the middle

Good, soft boil

In water immediately, okay

Mushroom in water?

Sort of go up a level

Okay I hope he making tare

And not just whacking everything in pan

Turn the gas up

Okay and now we're gonna start creating that base

First off

A tablespoon of miso paste

No no you don't

Don't put miso paste in your boiling water

It gonna kill the miso

You want to miso, make miso tare separately haiya

This the same mistake Nigella Lawson making her ramen

Gordon, you make me so sad

Okay, and get that really good mix

Now those mushrooms are doubling in size

Ah, doubling in size

Just like Auntie Helen after our marriage

And the exciting thing now is that they're starting to give flavor to that water

Wait, just one tablespoon of miso?

In that big pot water?

Haiya, what the point?

Not gonna taste like anything

That just husky hit of miso

That not enough

A husky hit of miso

From there

No you don't

A nice tablespoon of soy

Now you just whacking random shit in boiling water

A touch of mirin

Because that gives it a little bit of lift, and a bit bite

One of my favorites

Togarashi spice, beautiful Japanese pepper in

Now, bring that up to the boil

Lightly seasoned it with chilli flakes

Why? chilli flakes and Togarashi Peppers same thing

You're wasting money and wasting time

Get your egg noodles in

Uh oh

No, no, don't put your egg noodles

Wrong noodle, first of all

And don't put your noodle in the broth

You should cook separately

The broth need time to extract flavor out of ingredient

You put noodle in broth for that long

It gonna be soggy and dead in the end, haiya

Gordon every step wrong so far

What happening? What happening

Okay, that's right, turn off the gas

Now, give that a good mix

Taste that broth

Why? Taste for what?

Shit in water for 2 minutes

Where it got taste?

You just tasting soy sauce in water

2 minute not long enough for anything

Trust me

Uncle Roger know

That's delicious, touch more salt, okay for me

And then, a little bit of salt

And the seaweed

Seaweed now?

No, no no no

What he doing, what he doing?

Oh my god

Seaweed into boiling water

What you doing, Gordon?

Seaweed in broth?

Just gonna disintegrate into the water haiya

You killing me, Gordon, and you killing the seaweed

Uncle Roger have to put my leg down from chair already

Gordon, you fucked up

Seaweed supposed to go in ramen last thing

Right before you eat

Like go watch Uncle Roger make ramen video

See how it done

Nice, long, sort of, almost strips like julienne

No

Every minute, this broth is getting better, tastier and deeper

It getting wronger, that what it getting

Vegetables

And just taste again

Good, now it's nearly there

Nearly where?

Hell, that where

Tofu

Just literally

Tofu okay, because vegetarian

Beautiful strands

Not my first choice but okay

And just place that on top

Wait, tofu straight into broth?

What?

In vegetarian ramen, tofu replace the pork belly

So you need to marinate the tofu first

Don't just serve raw tofu

It just tastes like bean

Marinade

Oscar please pan down, have a quick look

Haiya

Almost like this smorgasbord of delicious ingredients

That look just like miso soup

Where it got ramen? Don't look like ramen at all

If your ramen look like miso soup

You fucked up

Delicious ingredients

Man that's good, that's so good

Man that's good

He keep tasting

And he keep lying

Take your sesame oil, and just

Sesame oil, haiya

I think that the only aroma oil he use
