The one thing I’m not yet convinced of is the noodle, but with how well you’ve done everything else, I’m willing to give the alkali pasta a shot (otherwise, I think the 2 things I’d be sourcing outside of Walmart are the noodle and katsuobushi - hard to sub that, imho).

    as someone who makes noodle soup like every week for the last few years, I always rinse my noodles too. It washes out the excess starch and allows the broth to coat the noodles, and the cold water also prevents the noodle from overcooking; for maximum chewiness, you want to cook them on high heat and then cool rapidly (this is just what I observed at udon shops). It's also handy in the event that you don't serve the noodles right away, as you can leave them in room-temp water for a while and they'll stay fresh.

    @@Jerryfan271 That's pretty much the trick. You have to cook, rinse, cool. It has to be al dente. Then, when you add the hot broth, it cooks a little more. Then you have to eat it quickly before it gets waterlogged. This is a specific thing that the pasta-eating cultures know... and, unfortunately, others are still learning (and is why there's so much crap ramen out there now). I hate to dis on this video, but when bro said that the soup is the key to a great ramen, I cringed. The noodle is just as important, and I think to older Japanese folks, is more important. I've seen people leave the soup behind in the bowl, as if it was there merely to flavor the noodles. That was my mom's attitude, and it extended to the cheap instant ramen packs we ate. It had to be undercooked, and eaten quickly, before it got soft. I took it to the next level by boiling the noodles and then draining the starchy water. I'd prepare the soup packet separately, in fresh water... or omit it entirely and use fresh broth made from meat and bones. When I was living with one of my white friends, I was shocked that he liked to let the instant ramen noodles get soft. I thought it was disgusting, and reminded me of Campbells chicken noodle soup in a can. Well, evidently, that's how some people like noodles. Soft and full of soup, like an extension of the soup. Whatever rocks your boat, I guess.

    This also helps reduce bitterness if you use the method where you add baking soda to the water. Also, if you have a problem with your noodles sticking too much when you do this, you can dump them into ice water after a quick rinse, or add a veeery small amount of oil to them. You can use sesame or scallion oil for flavor.

    @@johnkawakami8395 While you're correct, it's not incorrect to argue that the soup (rather, the broth and oil) are one of the most important elements, because otherwise you'd bottleneck the dish's flavor. But you'd also be bottlenecking the dish by mistreating the noodles too - for this experiment, it's fine, because it had the focus of using purely cheap ingredients from a certain place and even went to the length of altering a product's alkalinity to hit a 'better' standard of noodle, which should speak for itself considering it's one of the only major alterations. As for the noodles and the philosophy on them softening - I don't like mine terribly soft or waterlogged but I do like that middle transition period you mention, where they cook in the broth. I don't find them disgusting when they've been left out but I do find them slightly more disappointing.

    @@XENOS_Indie_Game_Dev Ditto! I use a quality Korean ramen. Take a pot, empty the spice packet into it. Place a pork chop (or two if they're thin) into the pot with the spice mix. Add your water. Bring to a boil. Add the noodles and cook until done and then add the dried veggie pack. Before hand, put a little toasted sesame oil, some siracha, a little splash of plain vinegar in your serving bowl and then add the cooked ingredients. If I have green onions on hand I put a couple (cut into 3 or 4 pieces) on top of the ramen when cooking. BTW - I like adding a smaller tomato (from canned ones) chopped into chunks in the bottom of the pot before cooking. It surprisingly works well with the savory packaged spices and the other items (sesame oil, etc) in the bowl. I'm a 40 year fan of spicy Korean ramen. FYI - I used to get a case (20 count) of good Korean ramen for $7. Those were the days....!

    I've watched a lot of Ramen cooking videos on youtube trying to understand the whole process and this has easily got to be one of the best, up there with that French donny Alex's ramen series. I don't live in America so i don't have access to a megamarket on the scale of wallmart but there's a lot of really good information in here that i'll be using in the future. My only criticism as a none american viewer would be that it'd be nice to have metric measurements pop up on screen when ever you mention a measurement so i don't have to take my self away from the video to manually exchange the measurements, but i understand it's probably a fair whack extra of video editing so it isn't huge.

    Worth noting that with cooking (unlike baking), almost nothing needs precise measurements. If you understand the vague concept of an imperial cup and tablespoon just by looking at what he shows in the video, you'll probably be good. You can generally add 30% less or more of an ingredient and it wont matter. Some times you can add up to 50% more or less of an ingredient and it wont matter. Noone will be able to tell the difference between 1.5 teaspoons of msg and 2.25 teaspoons in your tare that is meant to be split up between 8 bowls of ramen

    A little trick to try. Get a 'top hat' pin like are used on corkboards to post papers. They are VERY sharp so be careful. Eggs have two ends, one being rounder, the other being pointier. Find the rounded end and holding the egg use the pin to make the hole at the center of the rounded end. This is where the air bubble is inside (this is due to the way the egg is laid) and this works well for making any boiled egg, preventing cracking/bursting. If you go to Japan, you will find everyone in a ramen shop slurps their noodles. This is necessary to increase one's flavor perception by introducing air into the mouth which allows the sinuses and palate to get involved. It is NOT considered bad manners there and they will look at you like a novice if you don't. Anthony Bourdain discussed this in one of his Japan shows so look it up as it was one of his best shows, IMHO.

    I make semi-homemade ramen start to finish in about 45 minutes. I do it about twice a month for lunch. I use "better than bullion" chicken stock paste as the soup base. It's probably 70-80% as good as this, but takes about 10% of the time. I get my noodles from a local Asian grocery. A bulk pack costs maybe $6 and lasts a couple months. I use bacon or pork loin as my base meat.

    Update: I made the Tare, Scallion Oil and I am working on the Aji-tama now. Just made the marinade, found Gekkeikan Sake at my local supermarket. I managed to do the paper clip trick for the eggs, though I find gently tapping the paper clip with something like a butter knife helps poke the hole way easier and runs far less of a risk of breaking the shell. I believe I have noodles I can use. If not, I will be doing your spaghetti noodle trick. I'm excited, thanks to you, I feel like I can make an authentic bowl of ramen without having to spend an arm and a leg or driving so far to an Asian market to get the ingredients to do so. I can't wait to enjoy. I will be doing so with chicken breast from the carcass I deboned, that I marinated in a mix of rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, a little Kikkoman Teriyaki, sesame oil, some corn starch, white pepper, onion, garlic and ginger.

Making aroma oil in advance with caramelized onion is rarely mentioned but probably has a massive impact on the whole meal. Also, baking soda in water is used to make soft pretzels without the hazard(s) of lye. I never thought of using it for ramen.

The pasta hack that you are introducing here is the secret known to only a few Japanese people that I believe it was first discovered by Japanese researchers with some serious craving for hot Ramen in South Pole Antarctica. Being able to find alternative ingredients within the rule that you set requires some serious knowledge and skills. It must be extremely challenging unless you are fluent in Japanese. If you are self taught, I will be shocked.

    Fresh won ton noodles are a reasonable substitution. It's no longer ramen, but pretty close, and just tastes great. Prep by parboiling and rinsing under tepid water. There's a noodle called Taiwan noodle, which I liked. I suspect the baking soda boil would turn them into ramen. I just boiled them in water. If you can't get fresh noodles, there are some dried noodles that work better than the cheap instant ramen we all know. One is Myojo Chukazanmai. Another is Nissin Raoh. I have also seen "healthy" ramen options that also use dried noodles. They're all really tasty, but you should save the soup packet for some other use, and use homemade broth and tare, which will be better.
