Halloween coming soon. There are many foods with Jack-o-Lantern and ghost motifs on sale, but how about a unique ramen this year? This time, we will introduce "Magical La King" who can enjoy the change like "magic" from the site of instant noodle "Nissin Raoh".

The ingredients for one person are as follows. Purple cabbage and lemon are a must , but you can use whatever toppings you like.

・ 1 bag of "Nissin Raoh salt" ・ Purple cabbage 60g (2.12oz)
・ Ingredients: Chicken fillet (cooked) 20g (0.71oz), white onion 10g (0.35oz)
・ Change soup: 1/2 lemon, white soup 20ml (0.68us fl oz)


Prepare "change soup" before making ramen. Slice 3 lemons for topping, squeeze the rest and mix with white soup and 20ml (0.68us fl oz) of hot water.


Boil 500 ml of hot water in a pan, add purple cabbage and noodles, and boil for 4 minutes. Then ... Wow ah ah! Boiled juice turns blue!



Put the liquid soup in the bowl, and add the boiled juice and noodles in that order from the pot. This time the color of the soup changed to purple.


The rest is completed by topping the ingredients. It looks like a galaxy, but it tastes like ordinary salt ramen. good.



After eating a little, the climax starts here. Add as much variegated soup as you like and top with lemon slices. Lightly mix the soup to make it pink ...! Like juice!




As for the taste, the aftertaste is refreshing due to the addition of a little sourness, and I personally like it quite a bit. However, even though it's juice, ramen ... my brain gets confused.

Why does the color change?

The series of changes is due to the pigment called anthocyanin contained in purple cabbage. When boiled, it reacts to the brine (alkaline) in the noodles and turns blue, neutralized with an acidic soup to purple, and then lemon becomes more acidic and turns pink.

When I was told, I think I learned it in science a long time ago, but the gap of ramen is fun. If you eat it in Halloween clothes, it will be exciting.
