Would it be possible to substitute a gelatin product such as Knox unflavored gelatin for the Agar Agar?

[canida]

It behaves differently - gelatin takes longer to set, and is a softer, silkier texture than the agar. The agar will be much easier to deal with.

This is awesome!

It would be cooler to extrude this into a nitrogen bath. Maybe come up with something to just harden the noodle on the outside leaving a liquid center.

couldn't do this with something like agar agar, which sets up like gelatin; would need to use the method people use to spherify liquids (they stay liquid inside) with sodium alginate and some form of calcium...

[casman300]

do the noodles melt when you heat them up again?

Whoaaaaaa, I so want to do this!!!
