Introduce the video and the dish being made: ramen noodles from scratch.

List the four ingredients needed: semolina flour, baking soda, vital wheat gluten, and water.

In a bowl, stir the semolina flour, baking soda, and vital wheat gluten until well combined.

Place the mixture in a food processor and, while running, slowly add water.

Pause the processor and scrape the bowl, repeating this until the mixture is well combined but remains dry and crumbly.

Transfer the mixture to a ziploc bag and let it rest for a few hours at room temperature or overnight in the refrigerator.

After resting, observe the dough; it should be less dry and ready to roll.

Take the dough out of the plastic bag and roll it using a pasta machine or a rolling pin.

Cut the dough in half, keeping one half in the bag to prevent drying out.

Start rolling with the widest setting of the pasta machine, feeding the dough through multiple times to smooth it out.

Gradually adjust the dial to thinner settings, rolling the dough until it reaches the desired thickness, which should be between spaghetti and angel hair.

If the dough gets sticky, sprinkle cornstarch to prevent sticking.

Trim the edges of the rolled dough if necessary.

Sprinkle cornstarch on the thinly rolled sheet, then feed it into the cutting attachment to make noodles.

Boil water in a pot and add salt.

Add the freshly cut noodles to the boiling water and cook for one minute.

Drain the noodles and rinse them with fresh water for a few seconds.
