Rainbow Ramen Exists, and It's Truly Magical!

In this generation that eats with their iPhones first, restaurants are advertising "rainbow," "unicorn," and "magical" to attract curious foodies looking to capture that perfect food-porn shot to make their followers salivate. Being one of those people who's constantly seeking out trends, I can say with certainty that a lot of them don't taste nearly as good as they look. Insert Rainbow Ramen, a new food offering from Chef Alan Valera at E.A.K. Ramen in Los Angeles. Originally conceived as a Pride Month nod of support, this cold Summer noodle dish does look incredibly pretty. Topped with that beautiful array of rainbow-colored veggies, two pieces of lotus root, and a sweet bean paste ground pork, it inspires snapping before eating.

But then you take a bite. The refreshingly chilled spicy-sweet soup base made from soy milk, sesame, and chili hits your lips. The chew on the thick, bold noodles is the perfect density to soak up the base, and the crunch from the fresh vegetables make this dish an absolutely refreshing delight for a hot Summer day. I hope this delight becomes a long-lasting trend, as it's not only delicious, but it's a great excuse to eat your fill of fresh veggies, something I'm sure a lot of us could use on a more frequent basis.
