It’s kind of impressive how you went an entire episode making blue noodles without once calling them bluedles.

JAPANESE BLACK RICE is actually dark blue and vaguely blue berry flavored. The water from black rice stains everything blue. I wonder if this might be an option to use for blue noodles.

[@loriki8766]

I was thinking that too. Everyone wants to use that pea flower bc of the pretty color but it tastes horrible. I'm tempted to try to just boil some premade rice noodles in black rice water & see if that makes the noodles blue enough.

@@lorrosdorborin4790 To get the noodles that blue would take a huge amount of food colouring and food colouring is fine when used sparingly but a lot of it usually gives an awful bitter/chemical taste. Learnt that the hard way making orange royal icing for an Animal the muppet cake...

One of my favorite ways to make blue noodles is an old camping trick. We used to do it with mac'n'cheese, so I'm not sure if it works with noodles that don't contain gluten. As you heat the water, use an iodine water purification tablet, commonly taken as a backpacking supply, and boil your noodles in the iodine water. Once the noodles are nearly finished, add the second clearing tablet; this removes the iodine taste from the water so it is drinkable, and the chemical reaction will turn the noodles blue!

[@giggityguy]

I believe the iodine reacts with starch, not gluten. So almost all pastas will work!

[@makeda6530]

That’s really cool!

[@sadmac356]

@@giggityguy it does, from what I understand

[@hazeltree7738]

Wait- Sorry if I'm misunderstanding this, but won't the iodine get into the pasta and then be out of reach of the cleaning tablet? Or is the iodine fine and it's just the taste that makes it inedible?

[@SeraphimCramer]

@@hazeltree7738 I'm no expert, but I'd imagine either the iodine is harmless to actually eat, most of it stays around the surface of the noodle, or the purifying agent is able to get all the way through the noodle?

[@xandosreign]

I honestly think your noodles look more other worldly than the blue rice noodles.

[@pauldeddens5349]

I do too, they just look more real. Like something from Avatar, something you would actually _see_ someone on an alien planet harvest and make, probably with naturally blue starch instead of flower additives though. The official Star Wars recipe just feels fake, flat. The ones he made has depth and character to it.

[@Skye_Writer]

I totally agree, AND they look more like the ones used in the take out box in Andor. The GE cookbook uses the rice noodles just because they are more transparent and look "different" than the noodles most Westerners on Earth are familiar with

[@censusgary]

I have the “Butterfly Blue Pea flower” vine in my yard. It has the somewhat embarrassing scientific name of Clitoria ternatea. The fresh flowers taste something like mushrooms (I haven’t tried the dried flowers). I’ve used the flowers to make blue rice (a Southeast Asian dish), but I think it’s time to try blue noodles, or blue bread. The vine is reasonably easy to grow, but it’s a tropical plant that won’t survive freezing temperatures.

[@TheMimiSard]

Blue butterfly Pea Flowers, in my personal experience, taste like peas and grass. The tea looks really interesting, but I was not taken with the flavour. I mixed them in with the rest of my loose-leaf fruit and flower tea - primarily rosehip and hibiscus, which the pea flower makes a deeper dark red.

[@rougestarlight4308]

Agreed. Butterfly pea flowers taste weird, they're overrated, it's all about the aesthetic

Maangchi has a great japchae recipe, and she does recommend snipping the noodles so they're not so long.

Fun fact, you can get a "manual noodle maker" (There are many brands of different qualities). Using one of them instead of a piping bag can get +-45 noodles done at once, and they have different heads for different shapes.

[@wolfingitdown2047]

Been racking my brain over how we got these guys blue, but I had a feeling it was a flower tea >.>

[@patiencepriegel]

The sauce in the first recipe just needed to be simmered for *way, way* longer. If you do it right, that method actually gets you some of the best, thickest alfredo sauce one can make

[@pookhahare]

Making pasta feels so intimidating but the way Andrew made them here looks fun.

[@ArawnNox]

Here's a fun thing you can do with all those butterfly pea flowers if you have a bunch left over. After brewing them, add a couple drops of an acid like lemon juice and the blue water turns in to a lavender shade. I also tried to make the taffy from later in the book that also uses butterfly pea water. I found that the high heat from cooking the sugar just... destroys the color and you end up with a grey liquid. I had to resort to food coloring.

Wild shot in the dark, try using a stick blender with the dough when you add the dyed boiling water. My theory is that it might help deepen the color, based on a buttercream coloring technique discussed over at 'Sugerology'.
