Sodium is probably way off the charts....as you said not healthy

Here in the states, I lived off Ramen noodles in college waiting on grants to arrive... Same thing. ❤👍👍👍🙏

I used to not enjoy "2 minute noodles" (as we call them in Australia) at all, until I discovered I can supplement them by cracking an egg into the hot water and perhaps some bok-choy. This was my cheap lunch for quite a few years.

Totally !! Also try: a half-teaspoon of sesame oil, and I’ve learned to ALWAYS keep scallions in the freezer. That way, for instant noodles (and tons of other dishes) you can just use scissors, and add green onion just before serving. Don’t add “freezer scallions” too early because they’ll lose that nice green-ness, and don’t add them too late either, because if they’re merely defrosted, they’ll be a little slimy from freezer-frost. But the freezer is a great solution if-like me-fresh fruit & veggies start to spoil before ya’ can use them.

Your transparency is so refreshing. You are a good man. 🙏🏼

Those Buldak noodles from Korea are now very popular in the UK. But they are around £2-£3 per pack if you buy them individually. We get them quite often for lunch.

Like ramen noodles for us in the USA. College student food!

I've always loved the instant 'ramen' noodles as long as I can remember. I've always tried to find the best Tom Yum Goong I can, but also look for Japanese ramen, Korean flavours and other variants. I never realised Mama was Thai. Wow. Extremely high in sodium, most of them have like 2 days worth of sodium in one small 'cup' or bowl, so if you have high blood pressure, not good at all, but very tasty lol.

The package (square) MAMA (from Thailand) is sold in The Philippines big supermarket for 32 Pesos = 19.75 Baht. I add shrimp/squid/ground beef and an egg, so you will get the protein you need, not just plain noodles.

When I visited in October, I discovered these in the local Makro and I was hooked. Loved them for breakfast each day. Happy New Year my friends.

I really love your simple vlogs, you guys are awesome together

doesnt change in australia, when i was a student it was 2min noodles (what we call it) and rice and eggs for a while haha. we sell mama in Australian supermarkets, about 135baht for a 5pack, or 35-50 baht for a single pack/pot

2 minute noodles are the brand Maggi noodles or something. I just call them all instant noodles in Australia

@@SigNeg ahh yeah, all my friends we just called them all 2min noodles, because we grew up on the maggi packs

We buy noodles in the US all the time. A little more expensive for sure but the Asian market has a huge selection and some very cheap. My wife has been going gluten free lately and she is into the Jok cups. Those aren't bad, but a bit expensive here.

One thing why korea instant noodles is expensive because theirs is more healtiher, their noddle not fried version unlike others, so it still has some nutrition value

MAMA is new to me. Everyone that I have met in the last two decades eat MAMA.They know very little or not at all about VAIVAI. I love VAIVAI.

Your videos are great ! Thanks for sharing.

Good to see a very old traditional manufacturing process making the mats. Do regions, or even families, have their own distinctive designs in the weave patterns and colourings?

Beautiful family, beautiful home. Thanks for the glimpse into your world and the education on "ma -ma". I would be worried about nutrition, but can't beat the price. Amazing how much different the roads are that you and your sister have chosen. To each their own, as they say. Best wishes for a wonderful visit with family and for an excellent, healthy 2024. 👍👍

In the UK, we buy pot noodles at supermarkets , such as Asda, the price can be 50 pence ( about 21 baht), 75 pence ( about 30 baht); but not £2 ( 100 baht) for our pot noodles

Another great insight into Thai life. You can play around with the noodles and use your own flavourings. Breaking an egg into them is common. I like to use stuff like Soy sauce and sesame oil as well.

Okay it is food emergency storage and used if money is low. Thai fast food for home. In Finnish: Thaimaassa on tälläinen hätä ruokavarasto, jossa halpaa kuivaruokaa. Itse pidän erilaisia puurohiutaleita, näkkileipää, riisiä, tonnikalaa, ruokia jotka säilyvät ja on helppo pakata mukaan nopeasti.

Thanks Ryan, we still have months where we have to have a Mama or two to see us through to next pension day. They are not too bad. God bless 😀❤🙏

That "little cook" one is banging - I had the one with real pork a couple of days ago and it was actually really good!

I get the noodles in the bowls add some cooked veg and a stock cube with a little extra hot water very nice

Haha to funny Ryan when you said eat Mama 😅in Scotland we call mother our Ma

Yeah awhile back when the price was going to rise for mama noodles the Government stepped in as you say it is a staple food for most Thai's and cheap, Went to many street stalls have noodle soup made with many packets of these noodles with various meats and vegetables.

Look forward to meeting your family. ❤

Amazing how cheap cup of noodles can be appreciated around the world. I throw a can of mushrooms in mine.

Happy New Year, Ryan, Damo, Otis and Hugo! 🥳🎉

Ramen... Survived college with it .. add veggies, egg even cheese. Good stuff 👌

About renovation. Consider learning about alternative building techniques... . Especially " ferrocent " ( not regular concrete. ) you can do a lot with it , its light strong flexible and sweat equity friendly.

I'm old and retired, not really broke , but I eat ramen all the time , some times I do it up with meat eggs and veggies, sometimes I just eat it plane with soy sauce and the packet , I always strain the water off

HNYear,my friend. Love your videos.

Even in the US a lot of people eat them I do once in a while Because like Damo said they are not healthy so I eat them a lot less the one big one I have to go to an Asian store to buy to get the better one with more spices Happy New Year!!🎉 Damo and Ryan Otis Hugo and all damos mother and sisters and relatives !! ! 7:25

Happy New Year to both of you and Otis and of course little Hugo. 🎉🎆

Hi Ryan interesting videos you make and well done it has become like a serial that I wait for every week, (it sounds strange) but that's it Thanks again o Happy end of 2023 Happy new year 2024.

Mama noodles have been in Finland for over 20 years.

Happy new year my friend.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to you and the family. Looking forward to all the vlogs coming in 2024.

Hope you had a good New year Party and a great 2024

2 minute noodle in OZ , A STAPLE IN THE CUPBOARD 👏👏👌👍🥳

I get chicken and mushrooms pot noodles in uk love it

Love them we have a stack of them we eat them a lot as we did in Japan ect just something we all like here blessings from North Texas ❤

Great to meet your family. I was just thinking to ask if you had seen your family lately. Happy New Year!

Happy New Year 2024 Ryan and family! Wishing you and yours excellent health, good fortune and happiness always! 🎉🥳❤️

Thanks Ryan for offering us this dive into Thai culture unknown to foreigners. I do hope 2024 is a great year for you, Damo and all your family!

Yes, having some MaMa or other quick noodle packs in your cupboard is a good practice. They also have an instant "Jok" rice soup cup which is excellent. Just down use much of the powder packet to reduce salt intake. Yes vlogging is a way of life for you and family...We do appreciate watching them ... I like how Damo was saying dont put camera on my face, then you say, but you are beautiful. Damo smiled and the video turned out fine... Damo's English is still very good, though she likely has not been speaking it much in the last few years..... Happy New Year, Best to you all, Best to Life in Rural Thailand channel!

Happy Holidays Ryan. Stay Safe, and Stay Safe ! Happy New Year

Happy New Year Ryan, Damo and kids! 🎉 Now I understand Kim’s love for instant noodles better. Of course, we have a MaMa station too 😊

You mentioned the old motorbike and I saw an old car. I was wondering what sort of prices you can expect for old vehicles in Thailand if you are looking at starting up living there.

InCanada it’s flavoured Ramen instant noodles. Kids love it and many a student lives on this stuff!! It costs 50 cents Canadian very cheap. Happy New year to you all! Enjoyed this journey with you!

Mama Jok (Cup) with an egg is the perfect breakfast for on-the-go.

Easy to cook, just some coins in your pocket, like a fast food, you hungry on midnight from works, movies(+eggs), and hang on party with your friends over midnight, easy to takejng in your backpack to some trip, tent camp, easy to cook with the new your idea such put in hot water then draining hot water, or fried with some your idea orther vegetable, or eat like a hot soup woth cold air ambient....etc may be no need any hot water, raw nooddle with the seasoning powder. this is not to say" don't try at home" but the oppositside "try at home or any where you want..!" :)

Is that a Silver Datsun Y120 parked under the house? Do a video on that 😀

Wish there was a healthy version, would love to see something with more dehydrated vegetables and meat and more nutrients, less nasties that would be more like a restaurant meal. Even three times the price would be cheap.

My nephew who stays with us has two mama every morning. I am a Bombay Bad boy pot noodle man. Can get them in Thailand now.

We are with you guys! Not because we are broke but we enjoy it mama reman noodle. My white husband love it. He like to eat it after the hungover.

My Thai wife takes two or three noodle packages with her on the USA to Thailand (and back) airplane trips. When the airplane food isn’t good or she needs a bit more, then the noodles hit the spot. Happy New Year to Ryan and family.

Every Thai loves that Mama brand.. we have a box at home at all times lol... I do not like the tom yum ones that much tho, they are a bit too sour for me.. I prefer Mi Goreng from Indonesian brand Indomie.. those are the best instant noodles in the world imho..

We have to pay 35 baht for the 6 baht ones here in the states. I think they are awesome!!

I visit Thailand for 30 days every year & often spend the entire trip in the one hotel (cheaper by the month instead of daily) My Thai GF & I always go to Makro or something & buy some "emergency" food. Mama is always included 555

You’re awesome foreigner in Thailand .

Thai mama is the best

They got mama noodles in most of Europe now, about 15 baht per packet. But I prefer the more hiso instant noodles. 😂

Instant noodles. That oneblooks similar to migoreng

What about SPAM there ? It's almost a delicacy in the Philippines

@lesgreen8508

5 ай бұрын

Genuine Spam goes for $16-20 per can in Thailand, the knockoff versions are about $3-6 per can. But if you know how, and have some time, it's really cheap and easy to make at home. You can find some very good recipies on KZread, and yes, I make my own now from time to time. My wife says it tastes just like out of the can.

I learned the hard way that when Thai say its not too spicy, its still spicy as hell for the average farang haha

Its like our romen noddles. I usually can buy 3 or 4 for $1. or a 6 pack. We add all kind of stuff chicken is pretty 😊 In jail or prison these are on comonseiry they make what's called breaks or bricks 😂

When I see people eating out of bins in Sukhumvit then I know they have hit hard times. I admit the Mama cup is tasty but not good nutrition but I know many Thai that eat this on a daily basis. Much more preferable than eating left over McDonald's out of a rubbish bin.

We ate ramen noodles and canned tuna in college. Both were cheap

I buy the packet ones in Big C because I am a skinflint.

I don't eat MAMA often, but if I'm busy and feel a bit peckish, I'll indulge myself. It's quick, tastey, and fills you up for a while.

It's 100 times better than the English pot noodle.I always bring some home . Can get in asian supermarket but its about €1.50

💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓✌🏼💓

Mama contents .15 cents packaging . cents 🤣

บางคนครับชอบกินมาม่า. บางคนก็ไม่ชอบ. ถ้ากินก็เป็นบางครั้งบางคราว เด็กๆวัยรุ่นหนุ่มสาวชอบกินมาม่า. ผู้สูงอายุส่วนมากไม่ชอบกินนะครับ

Looking forward to the vlogs coming up next year, sounds good. Oh, I hate mama noodles. 🤢 Lol. Never liked Pot Noodles either! I love real Noodle dishes, but those things just taste like cardboard!! I'd rather starve than eat them 😂

Nissin noodles $1.46 usd

Ramen noodles heavily processed. Packed out with micro plastics and nasties that enter the system. I stick to rice. ✌️

Thai survival food

In jail, Ramen noodles were currency. Without it you lack leverage.

I do like these vlogs showing normal life. I like spicey Thai food but can't find a real Thai restaurant in this city, it is all tasteless junk. Not good at all. I like Damo's name, why do you call her Mo? Sounds like a homeless person to me. I think your family is beautiful, I love the boys.

that's the worst food you can eat but I understand
