The only Kenji I know is a musician. Is it a Facebook group or a type of Japanese cooking?

gives the ramen their distinctive texture, apparently you can get the same result with baked baking soda but the alkali water is dirt cheap

buy kansui/alkaline water/lye water at your local Asian market or Google baked baking soda for ramen and make it that way
