Having a bit of a mini-moment over on Insta, it seems Pop Sugar was the first to spot them - but The Indigo Kitchen actually invented them. Meaning, and in a controversial development, you can make them yourself at home. Here's what The Indigo Kitchen recommends...
"First we start out with a piece of purple cabbage, yup purple cabbage, this is gonna be the main component for making these noodles. We start by cooking it for five minutes in a pot with some water, the amount of water used and the time you soak the noodles will affects the shade of blue your noodles will be. The next step will be to turn of the heat and add the noodles. You can use basic white or clear noodles, my preference is mung bean noodles aka glass noodles because I like the taste and the effect the glassiness of the noodles add final dish.
Now let these noodles soak for about 5 to 10 minutes, depending on how deep you want the colour to be. Remove the noodles and place them in a bowl. The last step is where the magic comes in, we are gonna turn these already beautiful blue noodles into a noodle dish everyone will be mesmerised by, we are gonna turn them into unicorn noodles! Take a lime or lemon and squeeze some of the juice wherever you want it to be pink and watch the noodles change colour in front of your own eyes." Hmmm, OK the technique does sound pretty impressive in fairness. 10/10 for creativity and effort... but please internet, no more unicorn food!
