First, you’ll need bicarbonate of soda, water and all-purpose flour. Bake the soda by spreading it on a foil-lined sheet pan and baking at 120°C for about an hour. This transforms it into the ingredient that gives noodles their colour and springiness: alkaline salt.

Dissolve four tablespoons of the baked soda in a half cup of warm water, then add a half cup of cold water. Mix in the flour and knead it until you have a soft, springy noodle dough. You’ll need to refrigerate the dough for an hour so it can proof and once it’s is done, roll it out.

Lucky Peach recommends using a pasta machine, but if you don’t have one, you can do it by hand. Cut the noodles and then cook them for a tasty meal worth all your hard work. For the full recipe and step-by-step, hit the link below.
