Pot Noodle - Beef and Tomato - Delicious British Noodles

Hello and welcome back to another Cooking

with Daniel. Today I'm going to be eating

my favourite food in the whole world.

It's called Pot Noodle, beef and tomato

flavour, and I think this would easily be

one of my top 4 favourite foods along with

bacon and eggs and Cornish pasties.

So it's rather simple. It's basically just

noodles, instant noodles in a pot, and

there's lots of different flavors, but the

only flavor I really like is beef and

tomato. And since I lived in Japan and

other Asian countries for quite a long

time, I have tried lots of different types

of cup noodles from those countries, and

they all suck compared to Pot Noodle. I'm

sorry, but I know everyone always says,

oh, Japan is famous for having amazing

instant noodles. Why don't you try Cup

noodle. Cup noodle tastes disgusting

compared to pot noodle. Pot noodle just

blows everything out of the water easily.

I also have these super noodles in a cup

which I'll be trying out in the next video

maybe, and I think these aren't going to

be very good either compared to pot

noodle. Uh, where's my tripod? Okay,

so this is the first ever video that I'm

making on my brand new Galaxy Fold phone.

Let me show you quickly.

Yeah, it looks like a remote control when

it's folded. It's very long and narrow.

So let's put it onto the tripod.

Hopefully it fits into the tripod. Yes,

it does fit, but it feels kind of— I don't

know, it doesn't feel like it's being held

tightly. Okay, so let's open the pot

noodle and see See what— no, first of all,

let's have a look at the artwork because

this is a special edition pot with a— I

think it's a bull, a bull with a tomato

for a head. I'm not sure why there's a

bull. Anyway, it says get charged up in 4

minutes, so it's supposed to take 4

minutes to cook,

and inside We've got a,

a quote, inspiring quote. There's no time

to waste. Lift the lid of success. You can

make it. And then we have a sachet of

tomato, and this is where the tomato

flavor comes in. First,

do that so that the powder is leveled off,

and then open up your tomato sachet.

Now if you like more tomato sauce, then

you can just put some more ketchup into

it, but this should be fine. And really,

the tomato sauce is what gives it the

tangy flavor that I love so much.

The next step is we get the boiling water

and we pour it in.

Easy peasy.

I think that should be enough. You don't

want to put too much water, otherwise it

dilutes the flavor, but you don't want to

put too little water because then it's too

salty and it gets all gunky and gross. So

you need a good balance of water, and then

we can give it a little poke around.

Ah, ah,

that was painful. Okay, so ideally,

um, you don't want to burn your hand like

that,

so make sure you haven't lost any peas and

put that back in. Unfortunately, I don't

think we can save this. Oh no, I nearly

dropped my phone. What is going on today?

Okay, so we close the lid so it cooks and

then we can clean up this mess.

Why does everything have to be so

difficult?

Okay, so we've got 4 minutes to wait until

our delicious meal of noodles is prepared.

Wow, today's a very sunny day. Oh,

look at those clouds!

Yesterday it was raining all day long,

and then today it's so bright I can't even

see without shielding my eyes. Whoa,

that is a bright sunny day.

So this is how I'm vlogging with the

Galaxy Fold. Do you like my hair? I cut it

shorter.

Yeah, I cut my hair shorter because it was

getting too long. I think it looks okay.

So yeah, I'm holding the Galaxy Fold in

the folded setup because if you unfold it

then it won't fit into the tripod mount

and it'll be like a, like a ping pong bat.

It'll be too wide, too fat, so I Folded

it, and yeah, it's fine on the tripod.

And you can use the the exterior screen

to see what's going on. I think it's

pretty good. It's exactly the same as my

S10 Plus when it comes to the camera,

which is fine. I'm not complaining. The

S10 Plus had a perfectly good camera, and

the only difference is there's actually

two mics. So there's one mic here, and

then there's another. Mic on the other

side, so hopefully it's going to be

slightly better at picking up sounds

coming in from all directions. Okay,

so it's been a few minutes, and the next

thing you want to do is,

uh, we want a suitable sized container.

I have no idea why we have so many plates.

It's like we're running a restaurant or

something. Look at all these plates, you

could feed 100 people easily. So you

want a nice big plastic bowl,

and you could eat it straight out of the

pot, but the problem with that is, um,

it's just easier to put it into a

different bowl. So we're going to transfer

it Like so.

And this way it cools down faster because

there's more surface area at the top, and

you don't splash it all over the place as

much as you would if you just ate it

straight out of the pot. And it also looks

like a proper meal instead of eating

out of a pot.

Look at that, that is British pot noodle

right there. That looks delicious.

I can't believe some people don't like it,

and I can't believe some people haven't

even tried it yet.

It's better than anything Japan makes.

Oh no, there's one problem with what my

mum has done to the conservatory. She's

removed the blinds. There used to be

blinds that you could close if it gets

really sunny, so I can't even sit here

anymore because it's blindingly bright,

and I don't like having to squint all the

time, so we're gonna have it in the

kitchen, I think, where my dad used to

sit. This was where my dad always used to

sit, here,

and I always thought it was weird why he

always sat here. It just seems kind of

gloomy, and you're stuck in this corner.

You've got this window where you can't

really see anything apart from the garage.

I used to like sitting in the conservatory

when you could close the blinds.

Wow, this phone is so heavy I can't even

extend the tripod without it— oh, there it

is, but it was dropping down. It's so

heavy. The only complaint I have about the

Samsung Fold so far is it's pretty heavy.

When I put it in my trouser pocket, it

feels like my trousers are going to fall

down. Well, what do you expect? It's

basically a tablet. It's a tablet that

folds in half, so it's going to be twice

as heavy as a phone even when it's folded.

And it's pretty thick. I mean, look at

this. I can take it off the tripod and

then stand it up. Look, look at that.

It stands up on its own. On the hinge

because it's so thick. You can just place

it down like that. That's actually quite

useful. Put it back

on the tripod. Um, one other problem is I

keep accidentally putting my finger over

the microphone hole because it's hard to

remember where they are.

Okay, so let's give this pot noodle a

taste and then I'll give you a rating out

of 10. Hopefully I've cooked

it right. If you cook it too long, it gets

really soft and gungy. I like it when it's

slightly hard. Oh wow,

wow! It's my first pot noodle since last

year and it is perfect.

I cooked it absolutely perfectly this

time. Not too long. It's still slightly

hard, so a bit of it's crunchy, which is

fine. I like it crunchy.

I'm dripping with my hand. So let me try

and describe to you the flavor. Obviously

it tastes beefy, and then you

get this tangy kick in the back of your

tongue from the tomato, which I love.

Tomato and beef just complement each other

And then you even get these little peas,

so don't say it's unhealthy. It's got

vegetables in it. It's got some tomato

skin. Look at that, flakes of tomato.

And it used to have tiny lumps of

artificial meat. I don't know how they

made it. I think it was just tiny lumps of

tofu or soy protein, and it was a bit

like meat, but they stopped doing that for

some reason. I remember when I was a kid

and I used to eat it, there was little

lumps of Beefy lumps. It wasn't actual

meat though. It was like fake meat.

But it was it was nice. I liked it.

I don't know why they stopped doing it,

but they have stopped doing it for

a while now. Maybe it was expensive

to keep doing that. I need a second plate

because I keep dripping all over the

place. I have to move the bowl away, but

then you can't see it.

Hmm, pretty good.

So today my sister's coming back home from

London. I can't

wait to show her my new phone. She'll be

so excited.

I don't think she'll care. She's not

really that into tech like I am. I love

getting new phones and seeing the

new kind of phones that are coming out

and playing around with them and checking

out camera stuff.

I guess you could say that's my hobby—

wasting money on expensive tech that I

don't need. But I find it interesting. I

like getting new stuff.

Some people were saying it's not a good

phone because of the screen. Yeah, it's

made out of plastic, obviously. If it's

made out of glass, then it won't bend.

And honestly, I don't really notice any

difference between the plastic screen and

the glass screen of my S10+.

It's pretty much the same. I don't

notice any difference. Yeah, you do notice

the crease in the middle sometimes if

it's really bright outside and it's

reflecting on the screen. You can see

this, the crease. Or if the apps you're

using are kind of dark looking, then it it

stands out. But if you're using YouTube or

like lightly colored apps, then it's not

too noticeable.

I'm so glad to be home. Imagine if I was

stuck in Korea. No friends, no dates, no

girlfriend, can't go anywhere.

That would be an absolute nightmare.

Oh, do you know what I want to buy now? I

want to get an electric scooter or an

electric bicycle, and then I can ride it

to the supermarket.

I'm a bit worried Amazon might be coming

soon and then he'll see me sitting here

filming my pot noodle.

I ordered this, um,

extension plug tower so I can fit

in 10 plugs. 10! That's crazy because

my mum took my extension brick so I can't

use my computer right now and I need to

set it up for live streaming. So I got

this 10-plug power tower. Hopefully I

can plug everything in. Should be enough.

I need so many plugs. I've got the

monitor, the desktop, the speakers,

um, what else do I have? USB hub.

I'm sure I had more to plug in.

Uh, actually, that might just be it.

Maybe I don't need 10. Anyway, today when

I get my power brick tower thing, I have

to set up my computer again for streaming.

I can't stream on my phone. Well, I can,

but the quality is so bad.

Because the internet's really bad here.

Upload speed is about 1 megabit,

so I have to upload videos at low quality,

otherwise it takes too long to upload.

I have to stream at low quality as well.

We're just in a really bad place. For

internet coverage. There's no fiber optic

available, there's no 4G. I have

to go upstairs and stand by the window to

get, um, what's the one before 4G? It says

H. So to get H and then a few bars of

signal, I have to stand out— I have to

stand upstairs by the window. No 4G.

We've got decent download speed, about 18

to 20, but we've got terrible upload

speed. It's only about 1,

1.5. We seem to be in a blind spot for

internet coverage.

It's really annoying because

I would like to upload at better quality

and I'd like to stream on my phone,

then I can move around.

Oh well,

can't have everything. I was in Korea, I

had really good internet, but I was in

this really tiny horrible place. Now I'm

in a really nice relaxing luxurious house,

but the internet sucks, so I guess it's a

Hmm, and then what you have left over is

the water, and I don't like to drink it

unless I'm really hungry because it's

probably unhealthy. It's probably full of

salt.

It's just very thick and heavy. I don't

really like drinking it.

Okay, that is pot noodle finished. I'm not

sure what to do for the next food video.

Kind of running out of ideas here. What do

I have? I've got the Super Noodle Pot

Noodle.

I've got a lot of bacon. Maybe I'll do a

bacon lunch. Bacon and eggs,

English fry-up. We've got sausages. Yeah,

I've got sausages, bacon. We need eggs and

we need mushrooms for the fry-up.

And maybe baked beans.

We have a lot of weird stuff in here,

like Vietnamese rice paper and chicken

flavor instant noodles.

Rice pudding. Pudding rice.

What's this?

Mushrooms, dried mushrooms in a

bag. Dark rye.

Rendang paste,

Malaysian traditional cuisine.

What's this, breadcrumbs? No, it says

coconut.

Huh, I would like to have some chocolate,

but I can't seem to find any chocolate.

Oh look, it's the green tea the

Taiwanese girl gave me. Her dad gave it to

me actually. He gave me a teapot as well,

but I lost it. It's from Taiwan.

Taiwan— Taiwanese green tea.

What's this? Granola.

Curry laksa. I don't like laksa. I don't

really like Malaysian food. It just smells

weird. Oh, and we got this coffee which

tastes really good. It's called Nescafé

Azura Americano. It's so

good. I think it's the best coffee I've

had so far. Anyway, I think that's all

for today's video. Hope you enjoyed the

pot noodle. This is what I do all day. I

sit here and I

watch Sky News Live to, you know,

find out about the you-know-what.

Uh, yeah, I think I made a good decision

to leave Korea.

I guess I could make videos like this.

Oh my god, guys, I got cheated on again.

Yeah, I think I'm going to make a new

video whilst my mum's out because my

sister's gonna be here over the weekend.
