Amidst the gloomy weather and public hysteria, it's easy to get caught up in the chaos and wallow in despair. Now more than ever, self-care is imperative. Though there remains to be more questions than answers right now, it is always beneficial to fuel our bodies with lots of immune-boosting nourishment. 💓💓💓
In these confusing times, I'm trying to keep zen by turning to comfort food like this deliciously beautiful Simple Ramen Bowl.
I grew up eating a LOT of instant ramen! The smells alone take me back to my childhood.😍 But like most of the comfort foods I grew up loving, instant ramens are unfortunately unhealthy as they are usually very high in fat and salt.
In this very easy recipe, I have put a healthy twist on a childhood favorite. Ramen bowls are naturally versatile as you can use or add whatever veggies you like! In just 30 mins, you can have a gorgeous bowl of nutrient-dense ramen that will leave you full and satisfied for many hours! Enjoy!

Use the broth to cook your noodles and you can blanch your vegetable toppings, if using.
Fish out noodles and blanched veggies by using a blotted spoon or a fork then set aside. Turn off stove.
