Lee Dae-ho and Kyuwon 'Q' Kim clash over ramen recipes

The cast members shared differing opinions regarding ramen cooking methods and preferences for using eggs.

A pre-release video for the Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation variety program 'Radio Star,' scheduled to air on September 23, 2026, captured a scene where Lee Dae-ho and Kyuwon 'Q' Kim engaged in a 'one-bite ramen battle' while sharing their respective recipes. In the video, the cast continued their conversation, revealing diverse tastes ranging from the order of boiling noodles to the method of adding eggs.

"Add noodles first" vs. "Put everything in cold water"... Conflicting recipes

The cast showed distinct differences regarding ramen cooking methods. According to the conversation in the video, one participant revealed a preference for putting everything into cold water before boiling, while another insisted on adding the noodles first, highlighting the difference in opinion. In particular, opinions also diverged on how to utilize eggs. One participant introduced a method of beating the egg beforehand and boiling it to mix in, explaining that this coats the noodles in egg wash, allowing them to be eaten more smoothly.

'Pure ramen' battle for challenge purposes

As this battle took on the nature of a 'challenge,' it was conducted in a 'pure' state without adding additional ingredients. Unlike the desire to add eggs to make it delicious, a method of not adding eggs was also mentioned to honor the significance of the challenge. The video followed the situations arising during the process of eating the hot ramen, with the cast expressing concerns about the noodles becoming soggy. One participant reacted by saying that if the noodles get too soggy, it would be like eating udon.

Water control and battle situations amid high temperatures

During the battle, the cast faced various situations regarding the state of the ramen. In the video, a situation occurred where Seon Hye-yeong-ryo poured a massive amount of water, resulting in a dish with no flavor at all. The cast continued the battle even in situations where the ramen was too hot to eat easily, and the video showed them discussing how to adjust their eating speed or methods when faced with hot food.
