- Make sure to level off flour and use their flour measuring cup.
- Add ½ teaspoon salt into the flour and run the machine for a few seconds. Then, pour the liquid.
- Remember to use their liquid measurement cup. Crack an egg, put 1 tablespoon of kansui (potassium carbonate & Sodium Bicarbonate solution) and pour water to fill up the 190 ml water mark on the measuring cup. I prefer just a little bit over 190ml mark, don’t need to be perfect at 190ml. After that, whisk the liquid mixture very well.

- The noodles at the end are not as pretty as when they first come out, but it is still good and ok.
FAQs:
Where can I find Kansui?

If you cannot find kansui, you can try using baked baking soda. Put ¼ cup of baking soda in the oven at 250F for an hour. Then, store them in a seal glass jar. Add 1 teaspoon of baked baking soda into 1 tablespoon of hot water and dissolve it.
