    Could it be that it's just because it's steamed instead of cooked in an oven ?

      That's a good guess, I'd honestly be really interested if somebody had the answer. Also, could be related to how long they knead the dough. The harder I work my homemade wheat noodles, the more gluten is produced (I think thats what's going on?) and they get chewier.
