How to turn Spaghetti into ramen

[JEDI]

http://www.seriouseats.com/2014/10/baking-soda-ramen-noodle-spaghetti-hack.html

cooking spaghetti in water with 1 tablespoon of baking soda = ramen-like texture

note:
if you eat it plain, there will be a bitter soapy aftertaste.
but if you put it into hot broth, the aftertaste is gone.

Since the article is only a day old, the author hasn't had a chance to see what happens if you just rinse it off w/tap water first b4 eating it plain.

going to try w/whole wheat Spaghetti.
ghetto whole wheat ramen.. yum?

Interesting. I'd never do it, but it's a neat find.

I'd much rather read a post about how to turn ramen into spaghetti when there's no tomatoes or sauce in the house. :'(

Is there really some kind of superior, proper ramen out there? My only experience is with the $0.10 crap we all know and love. Is it like spaghetti-Os to proper Italian cuisine?

Pretty much yes, but maybe even lower...

YES, DEAR GOD YES

If you want instant shit, please get the real japanese stuff that you can find on Amazon. The texture is TOTALLY different

If you're in a major metropolitan area and are willing to spend actual money on ramen, you can upgrade to the real shit:

You try the Japanese ones yet?

I grew up on Mama but the JDM ones are a different beast entirely.

I used to eat a brand of ramen that had both a powder seasoning packet and sauce packet. The sauce was a little sweet and oily. It's been years since I've been able to find them, but they were the run of the mill $0.10 packet kinds. I loved that kind of ramen.

Southern Mississippi isn't known for its Japanese cuisine. Vietnamese on the other hand...

You have to be one broke-ass cracker if you have to make fake ramen.

 

[zinfamous]

Nasty.

don't knock Kenji.

He's smarter than you.

This is like the video of the homeless guy who was given $100,000. He rented a hotel room just to sleep on the floor.

Part of the Ramen noodle process is using alkaline water or alkaline minerals to either prepare or cook the noodles. So you definitely have the right idea using baking soda.

I'd imagine lye would work as well, similar to how boiling first in lye water differentiates bagels from ordinary rolls.

but it's not whole wheat.

i like the texture of ramen but i cant find whole wheat ramen at walmart.

hopefully that sunnoodles wholesale ramen place near me sells whole wheat ramen.
