Ivan McCombs, better known as RamenKingIvan, launched his three primary online channels, TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram, in 2021 and has quickly built a base of more than 12 million followers and subscribers. Fans and followers flock to him because they love his talent for making cooking fun and for making amazing meals fast with just a few ingredients, often used in new and surprising combinations. And, to be clear, they like him because he is very, very funny. From his original viral videos focused on packaged-ramen hacks, Ivan has expanded to a wider repertoire of recipes from a variety of cuisines, while still maintaining his original focus on fast prep times, bold flavoring, inexpensive ingredients, and, of course, the wonders of ramen. Before becoming a full-time food creator, he was a social-media manager for a high-tech company. He lives in Los Angeles.
