Rainbow Noodle Bowl



So, I've been fantasizing about creating a color spectrum with food. I don't know if anyone else thinks about these things, but as a chef, I do. It could be tomatoes or red bell peppers, carrots or oranges, yellow bell peppers or yellow squash, green anything, there are a lot of green vegetables to choose from, blueberries, and red cabbage or grapes for purple.

For my mother in law's birthday party I made a japanese noodle bowl using soba noodles, and a color spectrum of blanched vegetables with a shitake mushroom broth with some fried tofu. Very pretty as you can see! Great for kids too!
