@@FuriousGato just an educated guess - you are compressing the dough, which makes it longer. This method allows the dough to elongate, since the ends are "free", and finally laminates them.
@@FuriousGato If you put in the ends first, it is possible that a bubble forms which will be pushed back until the end where it'll pop and leave a small hole. Turn the dough the other way and the trapped air can be released between the ends. It doesn't always happen but it's good practice just to be on the safe side
Here's a quick little tip. After your first pass in the pasta machine and the first lamination, as you laminate it several times, eventually you will hear a little "pop" in the folded end when it passes through the roller. Once you hear the pop, It's ready. The glutens are aligned and you're ready to start closing your rollers on each roll.
As a Japanese, so glad to see presentation like this by foreigners. Well studied, very impressive. Yes, "kan-sui" is the key! Personally curly men is preferable. Anyway, excellent video!
I made these noodles today and my whole family were impressed and thrilled. It really was just like store bought ramen but it doesn’t get soggy and over swollen in the broth. And so CHEAP to make! Thanks!
@Hermaeus Mora my comment just meant that if you don't spend money on something then you have to spend your time. It is cheaper to make your own food out of ingredients then to go buy food already made. And I've heard that holds true even for ramen which seems really cheap already.
Hey dude I know this video has aged now but I’m finally at the point where I’m starting to dive into my own noodles and I wanna thank you for such a great tutorial. I love following along just behind you on your journey. Much love.
I have been thinking of the best way to say thank you very much for teaching me how to make delicious ramen for myself and my loved ones, but I decided that simple is best. So thank you, you’ve given excellent and accessible recipes and advice, and I can now make a few different types of ramen. I started with this video and then learned to make the dashi, the tare, the accompaniments, and some side dishes to serve alongside. I found your videos at a difficult time in my life, so I am extra appreciative for your lessons. Food isn’t just nourishment, it’s the very building blocks of our bodies, it’s the glue that defines our cultural heritage, and it’s the language of love, honor, and affection. So serving my family a bowl of completely homemade ramen is a great way to show them I care about them - and it’s incredibly delicious. So again, thank you very much.
You are my hero. I spent two months working in a ramen restaurant in Yonago, Tottori. Watching your content brings back great memories. Thank you for making such great videos that we can all relate to.
Wow! I enjoyed every second. I watch cooking videos maybe four hours a day. You introduced a whole new genre to me…I’m 56 years old and still excited about learning about cooking.
I made a 200 gram 'test batch' yesterday, using a Kansui mixture of 20% potassium carbonate and 80% sodium bicarbonate. I'll give it a try today, and make adjustments in the Kansui before making a larger batch. *BTW?* A Kitchen-Aid mixer with a whip attachment makes hydrating the flour S-L-O-W-L-Y an easy task! THANKS!
Thank you so much for this. Made Ramen over the weekend from scratch. Everything turned out amazing! I appreciate the time and effort put into this video.
Hello, I want to say thank you for posting this video. I tried several methods on making ramen and this one made the authentic springy chewy ramen I was hoping for. I have been making pasta for many years so I had the rolling part down. I tried the store bought potassium carbonate and it's not chewy springy ramen I was hoping for. After watching your video I took the leap, and made sodium carbonate for my own kansui and OMG game changer! I am half Korean so I made my broth with some gochu pepper flakes, and gave it a Korean flare! Thank you again.
I like your video because you are crystal clear in your explanation: 1/ ratio of ingredients 2/ ingredients selection 3/ reasons for use what to what Thank you. I make big batches then store in freezer for months. All it takes is boiling water under 2 min. as good as fresh and so cheap to make versus to buy. The noodles are so versatile I use mostly for soup and stir fry all in Vietnamese style cooking. I really like ramen with baked baking soda VS regular noodle with eggs. The latter smells egg and soggy !!!!! Thumb up for you!!!!
I’m about to venture into doing a food truck and I’m looking into everything. I’m excited to try making my own noodles and seeing how easy/difficult it is! I’ll be binge watching all of your videos to get more ideas on how I should do things. Thanks for all your work and dedication! :)
You just have to taste them as their cooking. The thinner they are, the less time they usually require. These take about a minute or a minute and a half.
just made these tonight and couldn't wait overnight so I cooked some fresh- wow! these are the first noodles that I feel have the right texture and bite that I have been able to produce! Thanks for the video!
Hi, thank you for sharing this! I tried another recipe and I failed that one…but then I found this and decided to try now I’m happily full alhamdulillah ✨ great explanation, easy to understand, worth to try!
I experimented with this recipe and hydration levels and made each subsequent batch a higher hydration than the rest. And here’s the main difference this recipe turned out snappy. More hydration turned out more chewy but not even close to soggy I think this is the closest to restaurant style I’ve gotten to so far. It was very nice
Thanks for the video. I was able to make my first ramen noodles from scratch. It was difficult where on my first attempt I tried to force the dough into the thinnest setting by accident and the dough just crumbled through. The 2nd attempt was successful and definitely tastes better than store bought noodles.
An update, I attempted to make a lower hydration noodle (33%) and it definitely is a lot more difficult to work with. I actually had a difficult time getting it into the thickest setting even with rolling it. Also I couldn't get it to laminate after the second thickest setting. I don't know what this changes but I needed to roll it down to more thinner settings to get it to fit into the thickest setting after folding the dough.
To Way of Ramen I have never seen anyone knead the dough with feet before, mann! ....Quite impressive & amazing. This may be the best instruction guide I've ever watched on UA-cam because it's clear explanation, gave the necessary details, really provided knowledge to the beginners. I'm surprised the dough came out with yellow color even though you didn't use eggs. Please let me know if I want to make ramen with eggs (Cantonese egg noodle), what do I need to know about weighing eggs or where can I find your video guide of how to make egg ramen? Thank you very much for your time. 👍👏
Thank you for this. I've been making my own noodles for a long time, but this one video improved my ramen enormously! Sadly, there isn't much call for ramen shokunin here in the U.S.
i cant find the link to your discord, but i want to add, that if you massage the noodles when they are just cut, you can make them wavy (curly, dont know enough english) and they grab more soup on the way up to your mouth. I know this is like 4 years old, but i wanted to share. Also great video, just quality video man, thank you for everything
I watched this video a few times before getting up the nerve to make the noodles. Thanks for taking the time and effort to break things down and give so much detail!
I just did this. I know I’m not the first to say this but you can use a stand mixer with the paddle attachment as long as you add the water slowly! So much easier than chopsticks or hands
These videos are great! I love the effort you put into every aspect of the bowl of ramen. I do have a question about the noodles - how many times do you laminate the dough through the pasta machine once you've manually rolled it out? It seems like you just did it once or twice, which surprises me I guess based on other noodle types that tend to be kneaded more. I assume the resting, flattening with feet, and other things you do before using the pasta machine are what makes a sufficiently textured noodle, I guess I wonder whether too much lamination is something that could happen or would be undesirable. Cheers!
Thanks for watching. I usually just laminate once these days. I used to do more, but I read a noodle recipe of a famous shop in Japan that only does one lamination and tried it and liked it.
Just made these without a pasta machine ( I found the other video about halfway through) and it took a good 3-4 hours of resting and rolling, but in the end, they are worth every minute. Delicious, even without a Tare or even a soup.
Thank you for this recipe! I made it and now wondering about cooking time when out of fridge & cooking time when out of freezer. Would love to here your suggestions 😊 thank you a lot!
Simply thank you 😂 I love ramen and gave up the last time I was trying to make broth in my instapot a few years ago. Ur vids have got me back to being hyped to learn this stuff
You have explained everything perfectly! I am going to try this recipe. I will use baking soda method first since I have it in my pantry. I’m looking forward to trying this recipe.
Friend of mine spent 6 or 7 years in Japan and fell in love with ramen. She's got me trying all kinds now too. Going to watch this a few more times before I attempt making noodles for us to try.
yeeeeee!!! Hawaii!!! lol my girlfriend saw your longs bag and we had to go try find out if you're in the islands too :-D! always stoked to see other local cats doing boss stuff!!
Thank you for publishing this. I made these noodles today with my pasta machine. When rolling out the dough, it appeared to be a bit dry as it had cracks in the edges and I got one or two holes as I was rolling it in the machine. I may have let it rest for too long; 1.5 hrs - got distracted. But they turned out great when I cut them. Still learning. But thanks again for the great tutorial and the hydration explanation.
if there are cracks you can always just laminate again. that usually fixes it. its caused by uneven hydration. the extra rest time shouldn't have been the issue it actually would help (if you're resting it in a bag not in open air).
@@WayofRamen laminating more than once did help a bit. Just made my second batch. Love this recipe. Another question. We live at 7300 feet. Is 35-40% hydration too low for that altitude with an average humidity in the 20% range?
that would all depend on personal preference for how much you love your noodles, if you love lots of noodles put lots in, if you prefer few, add fewer.
I know this is 2 years later but. Dude. I made these ramen noodles today and they are fucking amazing. So fresh. So snappy. Perfectly aldente. Alongside using your tips from other videos on how to make a good ramen - it bangs. I think I’ve found a new love for ramen because of your videos. Thanks g!
Thank you for the thorough tutorial. I went to buy a pasta roller and can’t wait to try your recipe. I have a question, is there a reason you placed the baking soda on foil rather than parchment paper to make sodium bicarbonate?
Amazing video as always! Just wondering two things bro - Eggs - some recipes use eggs and others don’t. What exactly does the addition of an egg add to texture etc? Resting time - after the first rest for 1hr, you knead then rest again for 30 mins. What if you left that second rest overnight in the fridge? Would that affect the dough in a positive / negative way? Thanks!!
you can weigh it in the bag to get an idea. it should be close to the weight of flour + water + kansui and salt. any extra weight is moisture from the air or sweat haha
I made this two years ago for a birthday party on request of the birthday girl. We cannot easily get fresh ramen here and this recipe was a hit. I need noodles tomorrow for a get together and could not find this recipe at first, so I tried another. It is not working at all. The dough is just crumbling. I'm now letting that dough rest longer and making this again, which is sure to work. It might be a late night, but it is worth it for these noodles.
Great video. I'm new to the ramen scene, but I've done other types of cooking. I was wondering if you could use a spray bottle to add the water mixture to the flour. It very evenly adds the water in very small amounts. Just a thought. Thanks for the wonderful content.
A great and through video. I made the ramen yesterday and cooked them today. I didn’t have bread flour and they still turned out wonderful. Be sure don’t overcook the noodles. Thanks for the video.
Meanwhile Quang Tran be like: Dump it all in, and look for a hard awkward dough! Then he mixes it all with his hands and get dry cracked hands from the alkaline solution :P
He's 100% right about the pasta machine. Some time ago I tried to stick a harder pasta dough in the pasta machine without rolling it and I almost broke my pasta machine. Lesson learned!
Best channel I’ve ever found. I love ramen and need to move up to the next level and make my own noodle and I think your channel will help me get there. Thank you
Awesome video! I had tried learning ramen years ago, must be about 15 years now. Back then I couldn't find any videos or recipes other than a rare Japanese site or two which I had to translate. I'm going to have to try this asap!
Thank you for your excellent video. Yesterday I made the ramen noodles by following your tutorial. I cooked them today and they turned out very delicious. The ramen texture is great too.! 👍
Thanks. It's the best way to do. Scale it. The most import thing that you give the percentage of the ingredients. The main ingredient is flour. I'll try to it today after this. Thanks again.
Thank you very much! Great video! If you or anyone else who knows sees this comment, can you please explain why the rest in the fridge for 24 hours before using? How important is this step? Thanks!
Just made these and although I need to work on my rolling and cutting technique a little, they turned out great! thanks for the super informative video.
I have just found your ramen noodle recipe. I will have to try that soon. thank you! And... There is too many comments to go through, so this might be a repeat- Baking the baking soda like that is also what is call "washing soda". If you make extra, you can use it as a great, cheap laundry "soap" that works very well. ;D
I'm trying this with premade kansui powder with potassium carbonate and sodium carbonate. It's actually hard to find the correct dosage of that, but I'm going with your 1% of the weight of flour for this recipe. Excited to see how it will turn out!
So it worked really well, except that the noodles were slightly too thin (default insert on the pasta maker), and I boiled them for 1 minute and 45 seconds, which seemed a little too long. They were still good, though. I'm resting the other noodled for a day as you recommend, to see what difference it makes.
Oh I have to try this recipe, thank you for sharing. Questions: 1. Can I use straight baking soda? 2. What is the reason for pre-baked them before use?
Baking the baking soda turns it from sodium bicarbonate to sodium carbonate. It's a stronger alkaline substance so there is a stronger effect when it interacts with the wheat protein in the flour. You can still make it with regular baking soda but you may need to rest it slightly longer since it's not as strong.
@@WayofRamen is this baked baking soda good for you , is it safe on the longrun used in noodle making?? If I use it regularly is it a health problem after cooking noodles??
I just made it! My dough was dry though, and I had to add some more water. Thank you for such good video! Oh and I just followed your spicy miso soup video instructions... A bowl of hand made ramen noodle from scratch! Soooooo proud of myself. ;)
Hi I just want to say thank you.. I followed your recipe (I forgot the salt) 🤣🤣 but it turned out sooo well.. I wish I can show you the pix of the noodles here. Thank you again.
Making advanced noodles is usually just about lowering the hydration percentage and choosing different types of flour, kansui and other additives. The basic techniques stay exactly the same.
Would you consider making a ramen noodle troubleshooting video--demonstrating and explaining what could go wrong, and why? I have a lot of trouble with my noodles coming out gummy unless I fry them first.
I want to thank you for the time and effort you have put into this channel. I really apreciate it. I also have a question (that might have been already asked before, sorry). How many grams to a standard ramen bowl serving would you recomend?
Just learned something on the discord, when laminating, folded side goes in first not the ends. I've been doing it wrong this whole time haha.
Wow, thank you! Do you know what is the reason for that?
@@FuriousGato just an educated guess - you are compressing the dough, which makes it longer. This method allows the dough to elongate, since the ends are "free", and finally laminates them.
Did u mean left n right of the noodle sheet or top n bottom of the sheet?
@@FuriousGato If you put in the ends first, it is possible that a bubble forms which will be pushed back until the end where it'll pop and leave a small hole. Turn the dough the other way and the trapped air can be released between the ends. It doesn't always happen but it's good practice just to be on the safe side

I'm now letting that dough rest longer and making this again, which is sure to work. It might be a late night, but it is worth it for these noodles.
Thank you for using grams, millimeters and milliliters!
Great video. I'm new to the ramen scene, but I've done other types of cooking. I was wondering if you could use a spray bottle to add the water mixture to the flour. It very evenly adds the water in very small amounts. Just a thought. Thanks for the wonderful content.
When hydrating the flour, why not use a spray bottle, makes for even coverage and you still get to add a little at a time
yeah i have a friend that does that. i always worry about leaving some of the kansui in the bottle.
Are you going to spend the whole day spraying water in to flour?
Simon WoodburyForget i like your thinking
thanks for this recipe, it was the first time i made real ramen nodles with less than 50% hydration in my atlas without having fear to break it
Awesome! Thans for trying it out. I'll be doing more noodle videos in the future.
Pls make a carrot ramen I love carrots thank you
I was about to screen shot this for the discord until I saw the name.

A great and through video. I made the ramen yesterday and cooked them today. I didn’t have bread flour and they still turned out wonderful. Be sure don’t overcook the noodles. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for trying it out!
I've always wanted to make my own noodles!!! 😱 Ty!😭
BTW I came from the shoyu ramen video! Now I sub!
Thanks very much!
I just made these and they're unbelievable! Thank you for sharing!
I found both of my pasta makers at thrift stores for around $10.00
Hey man, i followed your recipe and its worked every time! I appreciate it so much, you helped me learn a new skill
Meanwhile Quang Tran be like: Dump it all in, and look for a hard awkward dough!
Then he mixes it all with his hands and get dry cracked hands from the alkaline solution :P
hahaha. Well it is his twist, his take... I like QT though, he seems like a fun guy to be around.
He's 100% right about the pasta machine. Some time ago I tried to stick a harder pasta dough in the pasta machine without rolling it and I almost broke my pasta machine. Lesson learned!
I don't have salt at home, can I used crystalized mushroom extract?
uhhh, probably better to just use salt
Best channel I’ve ever found. I love ramen and need to move up to the next level and make my own noodle and I think your channel will help me get there. Thank you
“equal hydration for all” should be africa’s slogan. we got equality movements. why not water equality too?
Oh yeah. We could use a teleportation spell to move rivers tô africa
Not everyone in Africa doesn’t have water don’t be so ignorant
Awesome video! I had tried learning ramen years ago, must be about 15 years now. Back then I couldn't find any videos or recipes other than a rare Japanese site or two which I had to translate.
I'm going to have to try this asap!
"Play I some music"
Thank you for your excellent video. Yesterday I made the ramen noodles by following your tutorial. I cooked them today and they turned out very delicious. The ramen texture is great too.! 👍
Thanks. It's the best way to do. Scale it. The most import thing that you give the percentage of the ingredients. The main ingredient is flour. I'll try to it today after this. Thanks again.
I am so glad I came across this. I never made noodles before and I want to give it a try, thank you for this video!!!
Thanks for teaching me today. Love to do it soon. New subscriber from Philippines here.
Thank you very much! Great video! If you or anyone else who knows sees this comment, can you please explain why the rest in the fridge for 24 hours before using? How important is this step? Thanks!
Nice! It's pain in my back to find proper ramen noodles in my region. Now I can make it my own!
Thanks for the demonstration. I've always wanted to understand why Ramen tastes so good.
Just made these and although I need to work on my rolling and cutting technique a little, they turned out great! thanks for the super informative video.
Love your videos. No BS nonsense. Just straight up instruction. Thank you sir!
Thanks for watching
Great video, well done. You have shared little details that I feel many miss. Can't wait to do this.
Thanks for watching James
I have just found your ramen noodle recipe. I will have to try that soon. thank you! And... There is too many comments to go through, so this might be a repeat- Baking the baking soda like that is also what is call "washing soda". If you make extra, you can use it as a great, cheap laundry "soap" that works very well. ;D
Thank you for this great tutorial. We made this yesterday and let it rest overnight. The noodles were perfect and not soggy.
I'm trying this with premade kansui powder with potassium carbonate and sodium carbonate. It's actually hard to find the correct dosage of that, but I'm going with your 1% of the weight of flour for this recipe. Excited to see how it will turn out!
So it worked really well, except that the noodles were slightly too thin (default insert on the pasta maker), and I boiled them for 1 minute and 45 seconds, which seemed a little too long. They were still good, though. I'm resting the other noodled for a day as you recommend, to see what difference it makes.
@@jonatana.4540 I found 1:30 is sufficient if you are waiting 4 minutes before eating. (And the bowl/ tare/ toppings/ etc are warm)
Wow great. lots of effort for how to make secret noodles.lots of love bro from India 💕
Oh I have to try this recipe, thank you for sharing. Questions:
1. Can I use straight baking soda?
2. What is the reason for pre-baked them before use?
Baking the baking soda turns it from sodium bicarbonate to sodium carbonate. It's a stronger alkaline substance so there is a stronger effect when it interacts with the wheat protein in the flour. You can still make it with regular baking soda but you may need to rest it slightly longer since it's not as strong.
@@WayofRamen can I use baking powder instead of baking soda?
@@WayofRamen is this baked baking soda good for you , is it safe on the longrun used in noodle making?? If I use it regularly is it a health problem after cooking noodles??
Thankful for this, there are barely any how to make ramen noodle recipes just recipes with packet noodles 🍜
I just made it! My dough was dry though, and I had to add some more water. Thank you for such good video! Oh and I just followed your spicy miso soup video instructions... A bowl of hand made ramen noodle from scratch! Soooooo proud of myself. ;)
And the thickness of the noodle, I use scale 5. My noodle has very good texture. Thanks for that sodium bicarbonate trick and the hydration ratio.
good job! thanks for watching!
Hi I just want to say thank you.. I followed your recipe (I forgot the salt) 🤣🤣 but it turned out sooo well.. I wish I can show you the pix of the noodles here. Thank you again.
Tried it today - great fun. Results yet to be sampled.
Awesome! can't get enough of noodles tutorial. Can't wait to see the advanced version ;)
Making advanced noodles is usually just about lowering the hydration percentage and choosing different types of flour, kansui and other additives. The basic techniques stay exactly the same.
Really appreciate the simple recipe you shared.
Would you please share how to store these without refrigeration?
They need to be kept in the fridge or the freezer.
Wow! I just ate them after making yesterday, ( it was fun). These are amazing!!! Very VERY GOOD!!! Thank You for the great video 👍
Thankyou so much for teaching everyone including myself. This is wonderful.
Just tried this recipe and it worked perfectly on my first try ever with ramen!
Made this today and it turned out well. Didn't use gloves and had no problem. Not sure what the fuss was about. Thanks for the video!
This is why this channel is the best for Ramen lovers.
Thanks very much Luigi!
The Way of Ramen i mean it! Keep it up and thank you!
All your videos are good to watch ... and also great to learn about making Ramen. Thank you.
Would you consider making a ramen noodle troubleshooting video--demonstrating and explaining what could go wrong, and why? I have a lot of trouble with my noodles coming out gummy unless I fry them first.
I knew he was laminating the dough wrong, but the video let me know to use baking soda so very cool. Looks good!
Followed this recipe twice now. Really good noodles
I want to thank you for the time and effort you have put into this channel. I really apreciate it. I also have a question (that might have been already asked before, sorry). How many grams to a standard ramen bowl serving would you recomend?
