chemical reaction ... spaghetti + baking soda

Last night I made pork and veggie soup.
And I thought I had noodle in my shelf but there wasn't but this soup was perfect for noodle!!!
And I tried for the first time boiling spaghetti with baking soda....
I forgot when but I heard this method before and I wasn't sure it really worked...
But when I think about ingredient, they are both made with flour so it might be ok.
So I used my capellini from Trader Joe's... lol
I wasn't sure how much I should put baking soda so I just sprinkled in the boiling water.
And once water got the baking soda it almost boiled over. It was so clear something happened in the pot... lol
When I tasted just pasta, it tasted like pasta... So I was disappointed a little bit but I put this noodle in my soup and tried them together...
And .... It was just like noodle 中華そば!!which we call "Chinese noodle".
Actually it could be one of my favorites!!
It was really interesting experiment.
Sometimes when I buy noodle here even udon noodle or soba noodle, they are too salty by themselves.
And I didn't like them. But now I can make own noodle with spaghetti!! This is so amazing!!
