# Components:
→ Noodles
01 - 10.5 oz dried wheat noodles or ramen noodles
02 - Food coloring gels (pink, blue, yellow, green)
→ Cloud Sauce
03 - 7 fl oz whole milk or plant-based milk
04 - 4.2 oz cream cheese or vegan alternative
05 - 1 tbsp unsalted butter or vegan butter
06 - 2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast
07 - 1 tsp cornstarch
08 - 1/4 tsp salt
09 - 1/4 tsp white pepper
→ Garnish
10 - 2 scallions, finely sliced
11 - 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
12 - Edible flowers or microgreens (optional)
# Preparation steps:
01 - Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then divide water into separate heatproof bowls based on the number of colors selected.
02 - Add a small amount of food coloring gel to each bowl, stirring thoroughly to achieve the desired vibrancy.
03 - Divide noodles into equal portions. Boil each portion separately in colored water for 2–3 minutes less than package directions. Rinse with cold water after cooking and set aside.
04 - In a saucepan set over medium heat, melt butter. Add cream cheese and stir until smooth and incorporated.
05 - Whisk in milk, parmesan, cornstarch, salt, and white pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until thick and creamy, about 5 minutes.
06 - Add colored noodles to the sauce, gently folding to coat. Maintain separation of colors for a cloud effect, or swirl gently for marbling.
07 - Serve immediately, garnished with scallions, toasted sesame seeds, and edible flowers or microgreens if desired.
