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?
 
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?

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:

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.

Ramen is like 10 cents why waste good pasta?
 
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.
