Thanks for the info! I am surpise that the local shops in Perth sell bags of the stuff! I’ve made yellow noodles out of pea flour, red lentil and rice flour without the borax. The borax was replaced by adding extra tapioca starch to maintain the glossy texture and elasticity, and of course, extra oil to control the stickiness. I’ve often used bicarbonate soda (baking soda) instead of lye water to impart a chewy texture to noodles/pasta.

To make yellow noodle is not easy because we don’t have the mould to get the noodle to turn out round. But if you have a pasta making machine, you can try with alkali water and flour. I won’t dare to give recipe cos I have never try before.
