Someone Made "Gamer Ramen" With Doritos Noodles And Mountain Dew Braised Pork

While many of you were tucking into turkey on Christmas Day, someone was cooking up something called Gamer Ramen, and we’re not sure how we feel about it.

There’s a certain image that is conjured in the minds of many people when they hear the word gamer. Even gamers themselves likely envision someone sat at a PC, headphones on, hunched over. Chances are that mental image will also include empty cans of energy drink and either Doritos or Cheetos packets at their feet, just to perfectly round out the stereotype.

Even though not everyone who plays video games looks this way or does all of these things., stereotypes exist for a reason. Hardcore gamers don’t have many free hours in the day to worry about things like preparing food and drink. That’s why chips and energy drinks are the perfect fuel. They require no preparation whatsoever and also supply you with the energy to continue gaming.

On Christmas Day, one ramen-loving gamer decided to combine all of a gamer’s favorite food and drink into one convenient dish. That meal has been aptly named Gamer Ramen. While it appears to require a lot of prep, its ingredients should make the dish appealing to gamers in every other way. It is made up of Dorito noodles, Moutain Dew braised pork, and even an egg marinated in Baja Blast to complete the meal.

Honestly, we’re not sure if we’re disgusted or delighted. While the dish, concocted by Huy, sounds bizarre on the surface, a lot of thought and work has gone into it. The noodles aren’t just coated in Dorito dust, they’re transformed via a coating made of cheese powder, onion powder, and cumin. The word consommé being thrown into the description of the broth also has us convinced that Huy knows what they’re doing.

On the flip side, the hard-boiled egg’s bright green coloring is not the most appealing thing we’ve ever seen on a plate. That’s thanks to it being marinated in a mixture of flat Mountain Dew, sake, and brine for an entire day. While there isn’t a step-by-step recipe to follow for anyone who wants to give Gamer Ramen a try, Huy has provided the notes they made along the way.

Josh has been gaming for as long as he can remember. That love began with a mild childhood addiction to the Sega Genesis, or Mega Drive since he lives in the UK. Back then, Sonic 2 quickly became his favorite game and as you might have guessed from his picture, the franchise has remained close to his heart ever since. Nowadays, he splits his time between his PS4 and his Switch and spends far too much time playing Fortnite.
