Pad Thai Rice Noodles – make sure to buy the plain noodles NOT flavored
Here are a few tips I discovered when making the noodles:
*The recipe can easily be cut in half or doubled.
*You can prepare the noodles on the stovetop as called for on the package or you can soak them in warm water for about 15 minutes while you prep the veggies/dye.
*Make sure to drain the noodles well when you remove them from the colors (and lightly dry them) before placing them together in a bowl otherwise the colors may run onto each other leaving you with gray noodles.
*The noodles slightly take on the flavor of the dyes (ie. beets, turmeric and cabbage) so if you child is a super taster like mine are, then this may be an exciting science experiment versus dinner. Personally, I liked the flavor enhancer but my 6 year old wasn’t so sure.
Pin this recipe so you can easily reference how to make these natural food dyes in the spring for Easter eggs.
