After reading this news article about ramen noodles with blue chicken broth, I keep thinking to make it
I want to make it just for the fun of it! Especially for my little daughter who loves Elsa from Frozen movie, she would like this blue color ramen noodles.
Well, I don't know what would be the ingredients, probably some kind of agae, and certainly I don't want to use additive/food coloring.
I am thinking to use "butterfly pea flower" which is natural food coloring often used in drinks and dish from Asia. Nasi Kerabu from Malaysia is one of the dish.

Butterfly pea flower can be bought online, I bought some in the past to make that blue rice
So, my plan for the broth, simple clear chicken ramen: Combine chicken stock with dashi and season with salt. Then put a few dried butterfly pea, and see how it goes!
Either it would turn blue or green, because chicken broth tend to be yellowish. And I should not put too much because the flower would alter the taste.
What do you think? Any cool idea to go with it?
