Noodles with Plant Milk - A Childhood Dessert

Noodles with milk are a dessert that reminds us of simple times, filled with warmth and moments spent with loved ones. This revised recipe maintains the flavor and texture we love, but without animal products. It is a quick and simple dish, perfect for satisfying a sweet craving in a healthy and delicious way.

Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Total: 25 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients:
- 500 ml soy milk (or other preferred plant milk)
- 130 g homemade egg-free noodles (or vegan pasta)
- 60 g sugar (or natural sweetener of choice)
- 1 packet of vanilla
- Zest of one orange (to add a touch of freshness)
- A pinch of salt (to enhance the flavors)
- Cinnamon (for serving, optional)

Step by step:

1. Preparing the ingredients: Make sure you have all the ingredients on hand and that the noodles are suitable for the vegan recipe. If desired, you can make homemade noodles from flour and water, avoiding eggs.

2. Boiling the milk: In a medium pot, pour in the soy milk and add a pinch of salt. Place the pot over medium heat and stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

3. Adding the noodles: When the milk starts to boil, add the noodles and sugar. Stir well to ensure even distribution. Let it boil for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4. Flavoring: After 5 minutes, add the vanilla and orange zest. These ingredients will bring a wonderful flavor to the dessert. Allow it to come to a boil, then turn off the heat.

5. Resting: Cover the pot with a lid and let the noodles rest for 5-10 minutes. This step allows the noodles to absorb some liquid and become more tender.

6. Serving: After resting, gently stir the mixture. Serve the noodles with warm milk, sprinkled with cinnamon on top for added flavor. You can also add some orange slices for a more attractive appearance.

Practical tips:
- Plant milk: Soy milk is an excellent choice, but you can also use other types of plant milk, such as almond or coconut milk, to experiment with different flavors.
- Sweeteners: If you want to reduce the amount of sugar, try using honey (if it’s not strictly a vegan dessert) or a natural sweetener like maple syrup.
- Variations: You can also add other spices, such as nutmeg or ground ginger, to give the dessert a more complex flavor.

Nutritional benefits:
Noodles with soy milk provide a good source of plant protein and calcium; also, soy milk is rich in isoflavones, which can help maintain cardiovascular health. The orange zest adds a dose of vitamin C, while cinnamon is known for its antioxidant properties.

Frequently asked questions:
