Gluten Free Ramen – Philips Pasta Maker
Ramen rocks socks! Back in our college days, Dave and I ate more ten cent ramen than we would like to admit. Today, we know all about the uglies in ramen seasoning packets and want no part of that business. In addition, popular packaged ramen soup contains wheat. Gluten turns me into a hot mess. The alternative – we created our own delicious Gluten Free Ramen Noodles. It’s so easy, and our noodles are made in minutes using our Philips Pasta Maker (note – this recipe is designed for a pasta maker.)
Two Ramen Versions: Dairy & Dairy Free
We came up with two versions of ramen noodles (both are made with eggs.) The first one contains whey and acacia powder to provide the extra protein and fiber needed to give our noodles structure and texture. For more information about acacia powder click here to read our blog. The other recipe is dairy free and contains raw, sprouted rice bran protein giving the noodles a delicious, earthy flavor that we love. For the dairy free version, read the notes below the actual recipe.
How are Ramen Noodles Different from Pasta?
Ramen noodles are more alkaline than regular pasta, meaning that the pH is higher. A slightly higher alkaline pH gives ramen its characteristic taste, color, and springy texture. To make ramen noodles, we add a teaspoon of kansui to the water-egg mixture. Kansui contains potassium carbonate and sodium bi-carbonate in a water solution.
Alternatively, our ramen can be made with a combination of alkaline salts: sodium carbonate (1.8g) and potassium carbonate (.2g). The Noodle Bar in NYC makes their noodles with these two products, (you can find their alkaline wheat noodle recipe in Momof*cku by David Chang & Peter Meehan.) Another option is to use baked baking soda; however, we have yet to experiment with it. Harold McGee of the NY Times wrote an informative article about baked baking soda. Click here to read it. We prefer Koon Chun Sauce Factory Kansui, and we use it in the recipe below.
Vegan Ramen Noodles
For a vegan, gluten free ramen noodle recipe, check out our GF Vegan pasta recipe and add 1 tsp (5 ml) Kansui to mix. For vegan ramen, leave out the turmeric or your noodles will appear a shocking color of orange. Let us know how it goes! Click on this link to access all of our pasta recipes.

Wet
- 2 Large Pasture Raised Eggs (100g)
- 3 Large Pasture Raised Egg Yolks (54g)
- 1 T Oil – we use Extra Virgin Olive Oil (15 ml)
- 1 tsp Kansui (5 ml potassium carbonate & sodium carbonate solution)
- Enough water to total 160 ml (5.5 oz or 3/4 C – 1 T)
Dry
- 144g (5 oz) Flour Farm Organic Gluten Free Flour Blend (1 1/3 C spoon & level)
- 85g (3 oz) Tapioca Flour (3/4 C)
- 2 T Raw Grass Fed Whey (10g)
- 2 tsp Xanthan Gum (6g)
- 1 tsp Guar Gum (3g)
- 1/2–1 tsp Extra Fine Pink Himalayan Salt (3-6g) depending on taste
- 1/2 T Acacia Fiber – Optional, but greatly enhances texture (3.5g)
Instructions
Equipment: Philips Pasta Maker, Unbleached parchment, Measuring cups and spoons, Mixing bowl (s, m), Whisk, Chop stick, Drying rack or baking sheet
Before You Dive In – Prep: Please read!
- Bring eggs to room temperature
- Separate eggs
- Set up pasta maker with desired shape accessory
Make pasta!
Step 1: In a small bowl, beat the eggs, oil, and kansui together with a whisk until thoroughly combined. Pour the mixture into the ml measuring cup provided with the pasta maker. If the amount does not equal 160 ml (5.5 fl oz), add enough water to fill up to that line. If you have more than 160 ml, remove enough of the egg mix until the amount equals 160 ml. If you add too much liquid, the dough will not extrude properly.
Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. If you are eating the pasta right away – start the water to boil. Salt the water according to your taste.
Step 3: Turn on the pasta maker. Follow the instructions for your maker using the liquid with egg function for TWO knead cycles. Our pasta maker has a three minute knead cycle, and we knead for 6 minutes before the machine starts to extrude. If your pasta maker has a knead cycle of 6 minutes or more, use only ONE knead cycle.
Step 4: Either transfer your delicious needles to boiling water or dry on a rack for several hours. If eating fresh out of the machine, cook noodles for 2-3 minutes (depending on your shape) or until your desired taste.
Step 5: Drain noodles and divide between four bowls. Pour broth over the noodles and top with your favorite ingredients. Slurp up your noodles immediately.
Enjoy!
Notes
To make dairy free ramen: Omit the whey and acacia fiber. Add 1 T (8g) of Raw, Sprouted Brown Rice Protein. Also, add one more egg yolk (for a total of 4 egg yolks.) The liquid requirement for this recipe is 180 ml (6 fl oz or 3/4 C). Add enough water or remove enough egg mixture to have a total of 180 ml (6 fl oz or 3/4 C). Follow the directions listed above. Easy-peasy!
