I must say that you got me hooked on onions, eggs & cheese in my ramen noodles. These ingredients sure make ramens seem more like a meal. I keep green onions chopped in a plastic container all the time now and use so much more. Thanks for sharing all these tasty tips.

So, this works. I made the recipe, I was a little concerned when pulling out the noodles that they were quite eggy, and I didn't want that to transfer to the broth, but when I added them to the broth the flavor was excellent. I do have a bit of an eggy aftertaste however, so I might suggest adding a tiny bit less baking soda. The broth recipe was great especially for how simple it is, I used maruchan seasoning as a substitute for chicken bouillon because I don't have any, and it worked great. I also added Sesame seeds to the flavor oil just for fun, and it was quite yummy in the broth. Overall a success, would recommend.

Oh damn, sesame seeds are a great idea! I added garlic to mine and ended up putting the oil over the leftover noodles for storage (hey, easy garlic-oil/soy sauce noodle time!) But I can't even imagine how top-level it'd all be w/ sesame thrown in.

@@tracer.s definitely yummy, I actually made the broth again yesterday as a way to boost some regular instant ramen, and I think it's my new favorite way to make it. I think I'll try garlic too next time, I thought about it but I decided it might overpower the green onion flavor. But I do wanna give it a try. But yeah sesame is OP, if I had sesame oil I'd just add that but this seemed like a compromise.

It’s not the oil on the chopsticks that the bubbles of the boiling water is reacting to, but just the fact that the chopsticks are laying across the top of the pan. You could have lain a wooden spoon across the top and would have gotten the same reaction. Could have placed a metal utensil as well, but that would have heated up and be too hot to touch to remove, which is why wood utensils are recommended.

I remember reading about something _like_ this a few years ago, but it involved another step where you baked the baking soda in an oven first. The higher heat of the oven turned the sodium bicarbonate into sodium _carbonate_ (i.e. sodium "monocarbonate"), which made a stronger alkali solution to cook the noodles in. That baked baking soda method might be closer to traditional _kansui,_ but skipping that step and just using baking soda seems to also work, based on this demonstration...

Hi Emmy, greetings from Lithuania! I’ve been enjoying your videos for years now and I think you really need to make this national dish of ours. Summer is just around the corner and we always eat this cold soup during summers. It’s called Šaltibarščiai (aka Cold beetroot soup) (pronounced as shaltibarshchiai) Its very simple and easy to make and tastes rich, tangy and crunchy. 4 small cucumbers (or 1 large one) (roughly chopped) Handful of green onions Handful of dill weed 500g (1lb) of boiled beetroot or apple vinegar pickled beetroot (grated) 1-1.5 liters of kefir or buttermilk (use as much as you’d like to your consistency liking) We top it with a hard boiled egg sliced in half, some more green onions. We serve this with oven roasted potatoes! I’d be so happy if you tried it!

One thing that helps with the texture from what I found is using washing soda instead of regular baking soda. You can make washing soda by just heating up baking soda in a pan untill you see it clump up and then dry up. Only thing to watch out for is not to get that washing soda on your skin and stuff bc it's a mild irritant and can cause inflamation, even burns. It has a whole 2 points higher pH (kerep in mind that's a logarythmic scale) than baking soda so it'll make for MUCH more chewy noodles. You can also try soaking the noodles in water with soda, rinsing them well and boiling as usual. Takes longer but gets you better result.

If you want a ramen that's GF, Costco has rice ramen noods and they were the closest thing I could find to ramen noods. They're SO GOOD. Just don't overcook them because they will turn to mush, lol

Doesn’t the alkali sort of.. gelatinize the starches in the pasta? I think similar to boiling bagels and also how pretzels are made. Gives that wonderful chewy texture. That’s my hypothesis! I want to try this! 🥰

Hey Emmy! The chopstick/boiling trick works with any wooden utensils. I have a very old wooden spoon that was my Mama's that I use. It is one of my favorite cooking tricks!

Thank you. I'd heard to "just add baking soda" to boiling water to make it taste like ramen noodles but never how much. Finally I can enjoy ramen without having to buy the (admittedly cheap) instant and throwing away the seasonings packet.

I am very interested in trying this one thank you so much Emmy 🌻🌻🌻

I would love to try this out. Never figured spaghetti pasta could be prepared like this. So interesting! BTW Reading crayon labels introduced me to periwinkle.

I've seen videos where baking soda was added to flour to make ramen, but this is so much simpler! I'm going to try this with whole wheat spaghetti. Great video!

I just did this for dinner, and I used regular spaghetti noodles. The thicker noodles are heartier, but the flavor and the texture are SO similar. Saved my dinner and now I feel full and happy lol. Thank you Emmy for sharing!

Emmy I just saw a recipe for banana donuts. They are donuts made from bananas and I think flour. The video was kind of vague but you should try and make them.

Regarding the noodles never absorbing the broth: I feel like that's why I have to cook the noodles in broth, gives them more time to absorb. I've tried adding the noodle from water boiled into a broth and then eating it straight away, the noodles never feel like it absorbed or have any broth flavor clinging to them. The downside of course is you'd have to use more broth/powder. But powdered broth is cheap and easier to keep.

Thanks Emmy for sharing this! I have used spaghetti to make ramen before on a few occasions. Now I know to put baking soda in the water. I could never get the texture or taste of the noodles right! 💜

I love seeing you enjoy stuff!

This was fantastic! I was very skeptical trying to make spaghetti as ramen and even more so when the noodles were done and I tried one without the broth (very strange flavor-kinda addictive as a cooking snack for some reason) The noodles had that chewyness, the flavor Was very similar to a ramen noodle. I made a veggiescraps soup stock a few days ago, added a lil soy sauce and smashed garlic and it came out pretty good.

That slurp at the end :) :) This was a great video! All these years of eating ramen noodles and I never knew how they were made. Got to give this a try. And thanks for showing how putting chopsticks across the top of the pan prevents boiling over, that was a great trick too!

I watched a video a year ago about making ramen and discovered the importance of alkaline water to give it texture and flavor, and I made my ramen. It was not easy , because the dough supposed to be hard. But the result was very satisfying. Unfortunately the pasta machine broke, since then I use to boil thin spaghetti in salted water with a sprinkle of baking soda .

*Wishing everyone the best sleep of their life after having seen this relaxing video!* 🥰🥰🥰

I do this when I don't have yakisoba noodles, turns out great, much cheaper. Not quite as tasty but it's a decent sub. Fewer calories/fat too since most ramen noodles are made with veg oil.

Italian pasta and ramen are surprisingly similar in composition, utilizing the same "durum" wheat for the best results and texture; the difference being that alkaline infusion during the kneading process.

Aroma sounds good! 😊

Protip: After straining the pasta, run cold water over them to stop the carryover cooking from the residual heat. That stops them from getting overdone, plus the water chills them down which is what you want if you're making cold tsuyu noodles.

I can’t wait to try this out! 😋🍜

I must try. Thanks for sharing.

Uh wow, just made this and I'm stunned! So good! I didn't have hondashi or chicken bouillion but I DID have Campbell's chicken noodle and some bonito flakes. Threw a bit of those together with water, blasted it in the microwave and topped with the shoyu fixings and mayo. Delightful! I'm a weirdo who loves savoury/sour ramen so I threw on some microwave-pickled Daikon and it was great with the rich egg (and cut some of the egginess of the noodles) I want to try throwing in some miso next go round

It's 2:00 a.m and I already had dinner but darn want to make this right now

You can make sodium carbonate for proper ramen noodles by heating baking soda in the oven or in a pan at 200°c or medium heat for about an hour or until it stops losing weight. Give it a stir every now and then. You need to keep it in a sealed container or it will slowly turn back into baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) over time and the proportions in your recipe won't be right anymore.
