Instructions
- Prepare vibrant noodle water:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Divide the water into separate bowls according to the number of colors you wish to use. Add a small amount of food coloring to each bowl, stirring well to achieve your desired shade.
- Cook noodles:
- Divide the noodles into equal portions and cook each portion separately in the colored boiling water for 2 to 3 minutes less than package instructions. Rinse under cold water to stop cooking and set aside.
- Make cloud sauce:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add cream cheese and stir until smooth. Whisk milk, parmesan, cornstarch, salt, and white pepper into the saucepan. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce is thick and creamy—about 5 minutes.
- Combine and finish:
- Add the noodles to the sauce, gently folding to coat. Keep colors distinct for a cloud effect or swirl for a marbled look. Serve immediately topped with scallions, sesame seeds, and edible flowers or microgreens if desired.
Save My family laughed at the first bite—they could not believe how creamy and bright the noodles could be. Everyone wanted second servings.
