If you have diabetes and need to keep ultra-low carb, use shirataki noodles instead of ramen. Still cheap and bites like a noodle. Take it out of bag, rinse, and boil for 4 minutes. Great for Thai inspired soups as well!
If you’re cool with buying it, the brand I think most people get is Lao Gan Ma (it’s the one with the picture of a Chinese lady on the front). It’s not that expensive and it’s pretty versatile for Asian cooking
Buy chili flakes, add garlic, and heat up oil so very hot, and pour over chili and garlic. Be careful not to burn yourself with oil. Let cool and use as needed.
@@bathestyles6525 This is an old comment, but I just wanted to thank you for the brand recommendation. I'm frankly lazy AND not generally a fan of spicy food, so there was zero chance I was going to bother making a chili crisp at home. When I first tried Frankie's recipe here, I omitted the chili crisp without a second thought. But seeing this comment, I was willing to go find a little bottle of this stuff for a few bucks and try it out. It's fantastic, and I'm completely converted to putting chili crisp on practically all ramen now. Might actually try to make my own now, but I can vouch that the stuff you suggested works great too.
My version: while the water is heating, scramble an egg and set aside. Boil ramen and frozen peas and carrots for a minute or so and drain. Heat oil and fry noodle/veggies, adding egg. Season with flavor packets and soy sauce. Cheap and good.
So here's a quick and budget friendly chili crisp recipe: Throw half a cup of vegetable oil, a quarter cup of dried minced onion, half a teaspoon sugar and half a teaspoon salt in to a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring from time to time until the dried onion becomes golden brown. Should take around 5 minutes, maybe less if your stove gets particularly hot. Add in a third of a cup of red chili flakes/crushed red pepper and two-three tablespoons of sesame seeds, you wanna heat it to a sizzle for about a minute or two while stirring. Then add in another half teaspoon of sugar and salt to taste. It'll last a couple weeks in the fridge. If you can somehow come by sichuan peppercorns, a teaspoon or so ground coarse can be added when you add the chili flakes, but it's optional because this is Struggle Meals.
Just watching you on my TV here in Australia,haven't seen you before,must say I loved your Show, don't know if your on everyday here? I just switched the Food Channel on! and there you are! Will watch you on UA-cam now,thanks for the great recipes!😊
or just put ramen and its flavour packet in a small saucepan and add 1 cup of water, then boil until there is no water left, making sure that ramen isn't sticking to the bottom, the ramen would have absorbed all the flavour and making them tastier than just boiling them in a watery broth I have tried to heat up the flavor packet in olive oil, maybe it adds flavour idk, now I just add a bit of olive oil in with the rest
Hey, Frankie, can you please do an episode on different ways to make a nice loaded Mac and cheese with meat and/or veggie add-ons? Thanks, love your videos!

I would love to see a recipe using only canned or frozen ingredients! I think you’re the man for the challenge :)

Can we see you doing recipies using the ramen seasoning packet? I have a million of them. Also, I hope you get well soon!
Popcorn setting on microwave good timing to heat water
Put the water in thingy...great cooking terminology there. 😅
He definitely keeps it real no fancy chef terms needed
Thank you!💜💕
I can’t grow cilantro. I’ve tried and failed both outdoors and under a grow light. 🥺
Hiya Frankie! Love struggle meals! Do you do a tik tok too? Thought that I saw you with a lady doing brownies using condensed milk. Was that you?😊
That looks delicious!
How do you make the chili crisp?
Thank you :D
"The account balance just went up"
If I could hear this everytime I deposited money I wouldn't be broke
Indeed, so many things you can add. Just stay away from the sodium packets.
How do we get the recipe for this without having to watch multiple times while frantically writing?
This type of cooking with Ramen is called a setup in Prison.
You could add nuts...
In the chili crisp?
Missing ground pork or beef, and sichuan oil for the numbing, still impressed
Frankie ran out of soy sauce packets!
Hey I like the idea
If you buy the plant, it's not FREE herbs...lol
You only pay once, maybe he already paid for a different recipe, now they are "free" whenever used. Semantics.
Everything except those insanely high sodium ramen flavor packs Yikes! Extra chili crisp much better
Too bad the price of ramen is going up so much!
Everything is so...
@@shernadez8065 it’s very irritating!
It looked delicious until you mentioned cilantro.
Its every where and it tastes really bad to a lot of people. Apparently we have a gene that doesn't go with cilantro
You could use Thai Basil instead of cilantro.
@@BuenoToob oh I know it just seems people use cilantro a TON. I wish I liked it but it tast horrid to me
