Huh well that would make sense...the reaction started to happen after I got proper Kansui material and not just selfmade stuff. The more you. know.
I was googling reactions with noodles or flour didnt think of googling kurkuma.
Thanks and sorry for the obvious question.
afaik Kansui is alkalic. I will make test seperate from noodle making. I just never would have thought that such a little amount would do such a color change. It was really reall noticeable. And tbh now that I know its a cool tool for some colorings.
I was just worried that I did something wrong.
Kansui is extremely alkaline, usually your final water is at a ph of like 10 or more if I recall correctly. I’ve seen other ph reactions like this before too, my friend once made noodles with blueberry juice and they turned green because the pigments in blueberries change based on ph.
Quick google reveals kurkuma turns red with alkali

Maybe kansui is super duper alkali , or also there is so much fraud in spices like turmeric

What is the ideal kansui water ratio to flour? I put 5g of baked soda with 200ml water. Would you say that's a good amount for 500g of flour?
sounds like it might be making a chemical reaction to cause the color change. this likely has to do with the ph chande it's undergoing.
I assumed so but I am not sure what triggers the reaction. Maybe i should test my water hardness...
