Hi folks hows it going welcome to myvirginkitchen today im showing you how to make your very
own ramen burger big mac. Its quite in fashion at the moment to fuse
together all different types of foods ive had loads of requests to make a ramen burger
and also cronuts which i'll probably do too. This is an invention of keizo shimamoto basically
replacing a burger bun with ramen noodles. But rather than copying his recipe because
I don't really wanna copy him I thought i'd put my own little twist on it by fusing together
a big mac with it. So uh, yeah. The ingredients I used for the ramen burger
big mac are right here so hit pause on the video and scirbble them all down and have
a go for yourself. Now your gonna need some ramen noodles which
you can get from most supermarkets but I wanted to get some proper Asian ones so I went to
my local supermarket. That is a lot of ramen noodles. Oh my gosh.
Yeah there was quite a few there and I was really impressed with the names some of them
were like 'kapow' and all that sort of stuff but Keizo recommended some from the Sunshine
brand or something like that but I couldn't find them. I don't know if He's being paid
to say that kinda like Forrest Gump was in the movie I just love my ping pong bat Jenny.
Break up the ramen noodles and plonk them into a mixing bowl then pour over a load of
boiling water the quantity of water isn't important you just want a swimming pool of
hot loving in there...... ow After about 3 minutes once the noodles can
be broken up with a spatula carefully pour away the water draining the water off and
then add in an egg and also you'll get a little sachet of funky oil in there chuck that in
there aswell and give it a darn good mix together. To get our noodle bun shape I've got these
mini springform tins which are perfect for it ... sorry as it's got a removable lid.
What you do is sit the tin on a chopping board add the noodle mixture and then line it with
cling film for cleanliness then sit your lid on top which as I say fits perfectly in there
and just weigh it down with a jar of jam or jelly if you're American.
Then you just whack them in the fridge for around about 15 - 20 minutes while you work
on your burgers. For your burgers it's nice and simple you might have a sachet of seasoning
in with your noodles grab that chuck it in a mixing bowl with some salt and pepper and
then dump your meat in there and just work it all around together like do a little flap
like a chicken because the chicken is gonna disrespect the beef because that's the meat
being cooked today and the chicken is fine...... sorry.
Once it's nice and combined break it up into two and flatten on some greaseproof paper
to make a shape similar to the size of your patty. I'm doing that quite a lot sorry but
that's what you want to do get it nice and even and chuck some greaseproof paper on top
just to seal it down and whack that in the fridge too - just for about ten minutes.
I forgot to say on the big mac bun on the top there's sesame seeds so I sprinkled some
on one of my noodle buns. what a good idea cheers.
We're gonna cook our noodle buns one at a time so if you can keep it in the cast as
it is to help it hold it's shape. Flip it into a pre-heated pan with some oil in there
and let it sit there for 1 or 2 minutes lift off your cast carefully with an oven glove
and use your fish slice to check underneath that you are happy with the colour and then
just flip it over and cook for the same time it's usually 2 or 3 minutes either side then
put it to one side to rest and do it to all your others. Easy peasy.
So we leave our noodle buns to one side just for a minute and concentrate on our burgers
take them from the fridge and they're even easier than the ramen as there's no fiddly
cast on it. Cook them for about 3 or 4 minutes with a tablespoon of oil in a pan just cook
them until they are nice and cooked through basically if you made them super thick you're
gonna need to cook them a lot longer so shove them in the oven. Once the burgers are done,
it's time to build it. Now before I start I don't want anyone moaning
saying oh man that's not how you make a big mac sauce and all that stuff it tastes amazing
and just like it to me so that's fine with me - you do you're own video. So anyhow grab
a noodle bun base first of all on a chopping board and then sit on a tablespoon of thousand
island dressing. I then got some chopped onion about a teaspoon of that scattered it all
along and got some chopped up iceberg lettuce. Sit on some cheese, then your massive beef
patty oh my goodness now the flavours would have gone back into that because it's rested
a little bit so so good. Then you grab your middle noodle bun, the remainder of the dressing
about another tablespoon some more onion, some more lettuce, 3 pickle slices or gherkins
whatever you wanna call them or dill pickles sliced mine were croquet shaped - that's kinda
***. Then finally you add your beef patty and top with your last remaining noodle bun
and slide in a normal size big mac for comparison oh my goodness. And guess which one was cheaper?!
And there we have it my friends massive respect to keizo shimamoto that is how you make my
delicious ramen burger big mac. Righty ho then it's time to give it a taste
and obviously it's cooled down while i've been talking to you guys so what I just did
was wrap it in greaseproof paper and shove it in the oven about gas mark 5 or equivalent
for just about a minute just to warm it through and the cheese has melted a little bit too
which is kinda ***. You can do the same in a microwave lets have a little nibble on
it right now. Oh my goodness check out the size of it i'm
probably gonna get lock jaw if I try and eat it all but lets give it a go anyway. I'm not
even getting half way down it! That is really good. Oh my goodness that is so good, it's
the flavour of big mac in there but keizo is right the juices from the meat soak in
to the noodles so it's like proper good and it feels a little lighter and healither please
don't question me on that because there's no bread - wow. That is amazing so I hope
you enjoyed it and maybe I will *** up a cronut, but with my style i'll probably mix
it with a mars bar or something like that. Hope you enjoyed the video if you did give
it a thumbs up and subscribe and i'll see you again soon, bye bye.
