Hi Andong, what kind of Mehl? 405 or 550?

disclaimer: I HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN THE VIDEO YET, but just wanted to tell you that YOU HAD ME CLICKING at "FRESH RAMEN"...LOL....OK, now to watch the video....

Dude, I looove Ramen. But without a asian market nearby I always have to buy in bulk. I even ask my relatives from L.A. to send me good ramen noodles. But now I will definitely try to make my own. Even though most of your recipes are not vegan I love your channel. You can tell it’s made with passion and love. Keep up the good work.

You have a great channel. I live in Colombia, we don't have many Asian restaurants and those we do have aren't very authentic. It's really forced me to up my game quite a bit. I am going to try your recipe. How important is it to make the baking soda? And must the temperature be exact? I have a pretty bad oven is why I ask. Thanks again, keep up the great vids.

Where’s the steamed bun vid? 😂
I LOVE this channel btw! I’ve told everyone 😊

Hi Andong. Heating baking soda turns it to sodium carbonate. The structure in your thumbnail is still sodium bicarbonate or baking soda (NaHCO3). Remove an H+ and add another Na+ for sodium carbonate (Na2CO3).

Wow, your channel is a hidden gem! Thank you so much for your excellent content, I don't usually sub the first day I find a channel, but you're definitely the exception. Keep the brilliance coming! 😄

Howdy, loved this video. Question please. What type of flower do you use? All purpose, bread..etc...

Problem is that here in Italy "baking powder" doesn't exist. We only have what you call "baking soda" instead. Tried 4 times, got the reaction and the noodles were looking good but tasted HORRIBLE probably because of that. The baking powder is just different, as far as I know. It's mixed with yeast, so can I, like, mix yeast and baking soda to get it? Do I really need maizena? Any help please?

It's just past midnight and I'm actually smashing my head against a wall...like, how could I be so dumb to nto think about just folding the dough so I don't have to cut like half a meter in a straight line (and I'm totally not able to do that even remotely) but just half a knive edge length instead wher you literally can't NOT cut in a perfectly straight line :'D

I followed this exact recipe for the noodles, but mines came out tasting like sulfur. I think 2 tablespoons is way too much. I ended up throwing all my noodles away; wasted 250g of bread flour :(. I'll try again another day, pretty discouraged.

Edit: I emailed the creator and he changed to the correct amount of baked baking soda: 1.5 teaspoons.

Are you making your own chili oil? If so, will you make a video of how it's done? Btw, love the production quality of this video! Will definitely sub.

[fishingforcompliments]

50% hydration ? Do you incorporate the water gradually? I like this channel but can't imagine you'd get a rough or even pliable dough that way

[afiffathannur]

What if you don't have oven? Can you toasted it the baking soda?

[erinatlarge]

I picked up some Lye Water at my local Chinese shop in southern Germany - would this not work as well, what do you think?

[Nri]

Sooo, did you make the video on the Char Siu Buns or no? They look great in this vid, but I can't find the video on your channel! But until then I'll just watch your other recipes, 'cause everything on this channel looks great. You rock man! Eternal gratitude to Sp4zie for introducing me to you.
