  4. Press the red yeast rice into powder, add water and boil, filter out the residue with gauze, leave the red yeast rice water, and set aside to warm. You can also buy ready-made red yeast rice powder and mix it directly with the noodles. I feel that the red yeast rice water I make is more reliable.

  5. Add flour to yeast and baking powder, mix well and divide into four parts. Mix three portions of them with pumpkin puree, purple sweet potato puree, and red yeast rice water to form three colored doughs, and then mix the other portion of flour with water to form a white dough. Place the four-color dough in different containers and cover with moist drawer cloth to ferment separately.
