Why wouldn't you just cook the ramen? Like, that "hack" is to convert the pasta to mush, convert the mush back into pasta, then cook the pasta. What's the point?

David Chang makes both ramen and chicken sandwiches that I can't stop stuffing in my mouth, but yeah, he has a lot of weird preoccupations with instant noodles/crappy cheeseburgers/ "garbage food". He hosted a Budweiser-sponsored burger contest, for god's sake.

I guess he loving loves ramen of all kinds, thinks the science of food is amazing, loved how how freeze dried ramen came to be, and prefers using it as a base for other food rather than eat it as-is (because normal instant ramen is awful)

I've seen him do crazy poo poo with both the noodles and the seasoning. The dude has too much time on his hands, but I would absolutely eat his garbage food

Also you could replace the first step with potatoes and actually be semi close to the desired end project.

Potato gnocchi is only one kind. There are all-wheat gnocchi.

Ricotta gnocchi best gnocchi, though.

Instant ramen's already cooked (fried in oil). All you're doing is rehydrating it.

Actual charcoal is safe.

It's probably not good to dump a bunch of chemically-treated charcoal BBQ briquettes into your fridge, but as long as you season them correctly when grilling then they are fine for their intended purpose.

My wife never lets them ash over because she "wants to cook over the fire" so every time she grills it tastes like charcoal starter and disappointment. Somehow she can't tell the difference.

It probably is? I'm honestly not sure. I know there's "food charcoal" or something like that for sale somewhere, but I don't know about actual grill charcoal briquettes, they could have stuff in them that's not safe for eating but is neutralised by fire.

Baking soda I'm sure is safe, and also easier to clean if you make a mess of it.

Eh, good lump is too expensive and cheap lump is garbage. I can get a loving cord of cherry for like $200, that will last years of grilling. I realize that not everyone wants to deal with the vastly more work cooking over wood requires but really is the best. Someday I will be crazy enough to make my own charcoal.

Ordinary yellow mustard has it. It provides color and a unique flavoring.

Except in the past they've posted plenty of real lifehack 'photoplastys" and there are several real tips peppered into the mix, like the pencil eraser being a makeshift earring back. And they usually make some kinda comment in the intro when it's a gag theme. There's none here. Half the people are taking the piss on the list.

Speaking of charcoal, I dated a girl for a minute who had pika and would eat all kinds of chalk derivatives including charcoal. I kept thinking it'd kill her some day. Then again, hospitals often feed you charcoal when you eat something poisonous.

I actually did a life hack this weekend. Someone dented my plastic bumper. I took it off and was gonna heat it up but didn't have a heat gun. So I boiled some water in a pot and rubbed the hot pot on it to bend it out. It worked pretty well!
