What are some ways to make ramen more chewy?

When you boil ramen water, add onion skin and boil it, it becomes more firm.
The reason is that if you boil ramen in boiled water with onion skin, it slows down the blowing or spreading of ramen.
If you don't put the noodles in water in advance and put them in right away when the water is boiling, it becomes more chewy.
The shorter it boils, the better.
If you boil it over high heat, the outside will cook faster than the inside, so it will be more firm when you try it.
I heard that if you add a drop or two of vinegar when the water boils, it doesn't get soggy and becomes firm.
It is said that if ramen is boiled hot and cooled, the viscosity in the flour increases and becomes chewy.
So it's good to put noodles up and down with chopsticks while cooking ramen.
