Oh my goodness.
This ramen noodle soup hits the spot.
This vegetarian broth, made with shiitake mushrooms and seaweed is oh so comforting and soothing.
It’s also easier than I imagined! Just some soaking of the mushrooms and seaweed (I buy those seasnax packets from our local grocery store).
Then add your noodles and veggies for an unforgettable soup!
Jordan and I love ordering ramen at Japanese restaurants but I don’t love the bloated feeling I get immediately after. This dish won’t do that to you!
Thank goodness, we won’t all look pregnant.
I’ve also been dreaming of having a Japanese party with some girlfriends! I can see it now, all of us sitting on the floor while sipping sake, eating cucumber salads, and ramen.
Sounds like a perfect girls night in.
