Bright noodles in creamy sauce, topped with scallions, sesame, and edible flowers. Joyful fusion for kids and adults.
# What You'll Need:
→ Noodles
01 - 10.5 oz dried wheat noodles or ramen noodles
02 - Food coloring gels: pink, blue, yellow, green (gel type preferred for vibrancy)
→ Cloud Sauce
03 - 7 fl oz whole milk or plant-based milk
04 - 4.25 oz cream cheese or vegan cream cheese
05 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter or vegan butter
06 - 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast
07 - 1 teaspoon cornstarch
08 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
09 - 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
→ Garnish
10 - 2 scallions, finely sliced
11 - 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
12 - Edible flowers or microgreens, optional
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 - Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Divide the boiled water evenly into several heatproof bowls, corresponding to your chosen noodle colors.
02 - Add a small amount of gel food coloring to each bowl, stirring thoroughly to achieve the intended shade intensity.
03 - Split the noodles into equal portions. Cook each portion separately in the colored boiling water for 2–3 minutes less than package directions. Rinse the noodles under cold water to halt cooking, then set aside.
04 - In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add cream cheese and stir continuously until a smooth consistency is reached.
05 - Whisk in milk, parmesan, cornstarch, salt, and white pepper. Continue stirring until the sauce thickens and acquires a creamy texture, approximately 5 minutes.
06 - Gently fold the colored noodles into the cloud sauce, keeping colors distinct for a striking effect or swirling for a marbled appearance.
07 - Transfer directly to serving plates. Top with sliced scallions, toasted sesame seeds, and edible flowers or microgreens if desired. Serve immediately.
