Vite Ramen - Noodtrient Protein Ramen 🍜

New versions, and free shipping for a limited time on the bundles!

It’s Vite’s 10th birthday today, and our most delicious ramen ever is now open for preorder!

Introducing: Patch v3.2, the Umami Amp Patch, the BIGGEST flavor upgrade in TWO YEARS!

Now with both v3.2 Core, and v3.2 Lower Sodium versions!

Our new v3.2 Core has a meatier pork stock for the Tonkotsu, a richer chicken broth, and 67%(okay are you done doing the hand motion now), more real miso in Vegan White Miso, and amplified umami oomph on the Woodland Umami Mushroom!

Sometimes, the Michelin Star cook skills we have work against us, but we’ve learned. V3.2 has less overly complex seasonings, and is more straightforwardly delicious in rich umami flavor, so there’s no longer too many cooks in the kitchen on your tastebuds!

All of this was made possible by our new Umami Amp System, which will also be available for you to use on your OWN dishes as well!

We also made:

The Lowest Sodium Ramen in the world, gram for gram, with a rich, full-flavor broth, with only ~470mg of sodium for the ENTIRE bowl, no serving size tricks! That’s even lower than our original v1.0 recipe, but we’ve brought EVERYTHING we’ve learned about flavor since then.

They’re rich, savory, and STILL have more flavor than most high sodium brands out there! It’s really gotta be tasted to be believed, if you’re concerned about your sodium!

And we know everything’s been raising in price lately. But we took that into account too, and we’re proud to announce that v3.2 will be THE SAME PRICE, because we worked HARD at keeping it there!

Back to to Umami: Vite Umami Amp is launching on its own, with 21.3 times the umami of MSG, gram for gram. It’s the same system going into v3.2, bottled so you can shake it onto eggs, fries, popcorn, your Naked Noods, or whatever else you want to give some extra savory deliciousness!

Preorders are open now, and we ship first come, first served. Come get your place in line today!

High quality cheese failed us on stream.

Turns out trying to choose the “highest quality” ingredient doesn’t always work out.

But then, our supply chain lead, Earl, suggested his dad’s recipe... which uses the divisive American cheese.

There’s a lot of people who turn their nose up at American cheese, and yet it has a place in Michelin Star kitchens for that wonderful gooey consistency.

The emulsifying salts, often sodium citrate--

Oh no, chemical name! Panic!

Let's break it down real quick. Sodium, as in the same sodium in sodium chloride(table salt), is bound to citrate, a form of citric acid, or the acid from citrus fruits like lemons and oranges.

That's all it is, but it has special qualities that help keep the fat, water, and proteins together as it melts. So instead of separating into an oily, grainy mess, you get a smooth cheese sauce that coats your noodles.

But for this recipe, we added a touch of modernity to it...

Hot honey.

It’s really good, and really simple. Add a few drops of our caramelized garlic finishing oil if you want to take it a little further, too :^)

And if you’re looking for more things to make, we’ve got a whole collection of recipes, from spicy garlic noodles to pad thai and bibim-guksu.

Get some high protein Vite Naked Noods to go with them, so you can make all the flavor without worrying about protein or fiber!

We already made the impossible noodle with 23g of protein. So what happens if you try to cram another 10g into it?

Even higher protein means even more stress on the machines, even more fine-tuning, adjustments, failures, and struggles...

And yet, we make it happen anyway.

Naked Noods Pro+ has 33g of plant-based protein in the noodles themselves.

And they still have that springy, chewy bite, so you can toss them in chili crisp, throw them in a pot of budae jjigae, or just make whatever noodle dish you were already craving, without having to add additional protein.

Or, y'know, add more protein anyway and get like 67 grams of protein or whatever.

Either way, if you're looking to maximize protein and still enjoy noodles, try our Naked Noods Pro+ today!

Protein nearly blew up our noodle rollers.

But we were committed to making high protein noodles with the right chew and bounce, and we weren’t going to settle for gummy and mushy, pushed out of an extruder, just for the sake of easier production.

So despite everyone claiming rolling high protein noodles were impossible...

We committed to doing it anyway.

But… why were we so committed to rolling them?

And why SEVEN sets of rollers?

See, generally speaking, there's two popular ways of making long noodles like ours. The first, extrusion, makes noodles by forcing dough through holes in a metal plate. This works alright for regular noodles, but it doesn't create the protein alignment that gives us the texture we're looking for, and can end up with something that's somehow both soft AND gummy at the same time.

But what if you press the dough together, and roll it thinner and thinner gradually, kinda like how you'd do with a rolling pin?

The first two sets of rollers take the crumb-like, dry dough and compresses it into two separate dough sheets. They've got special grooves cut into them to help catch that dry mixture, which also helps align the protein structures.

Then, those two sheets get guided into a third set of rollers, which presses them together into one thick sheet. Why not just do one sheet to begin with, though?

Consistency! If just one sheet were made from the start, then the protein structures may not interlace quite in the way we want it to. By having both the grooves to guide the protein structures, and pressing two different sheets into one, we make sure that the noodles will have that chew and bounce that we're looking for.

Trouble is, at this point, it’s still about an INCH thick, and we need to get that down to 1.5 millimeters, or thinning it down by 94%!

If we tried to to squish it down all at once, it'd end up forcing the protein structures in all kinds of weird places, undoing the careful guidance we started with. If you've ever tried rolling out dough, and it just shrunk back together on you-- well, that's actually one of the big problems we were dealing with.

Do it too fast, and it'll shrink back on you. Too slow, and it'll also bunch up. Making it go through the rollers at just the right speed, rolling it out through four more sets of rollers to thin it down little by little, while not letting it shrink back, snap, or do anything weird is a much, much harder task than it seems.

But, that same stubbornness of the protein does help us out once we reach that final 1.5mm roller.

See, we want wavy noodles, because wavy noodles capture sauce and soup better when you lift them. We make them wavy by pushing flaps with weights on them, after the noodles are cut. That same stubborn protein from before now helps create the waves, sort of like how crinkling a piece of paper and then trying to flatten it out again won't make it perfectly flat anymore.

The same structure we’ve been working to develop now helps give the noodles their curls, too!

It's a ton of work, calibrations, and skill to be able to make high protein ramen through these rollers, so much so that it was considered impossible before we made it happen ten years ago.

But you get all of that work, protein, and texture with just a five minute boil, with:

23g protein
6g fiber

and the freedom to put whatever sauce, broth, and toppings you want on the noodle with the chew and bounce we refused to compromise on!

We're in the middle of cranking out some big batches of noodles, so Vite Naked Noods ARE considered in stock, and shipping in the next week or two.
