This Carrot-Noodle Vegetarian Ramen recipe from the Brewing Happiness blog introduces a healthy alternative to incorporating wheat noodles as the main part of the dish.
This plant-powered bowl features carrots, which may either be julienned or spiralized to form the "noodles" for the base of the dish. On top of this, other ingredient additions include fresh ginger, greens and cubes of tofu to serve as a stand-in for conventional meat additions like pork, chicken or beef.
In all, this free-from ramen soup dish does away with dairy and gluten, making it an appealing make-at-home option for those who are looking for something healthier than many instant ramen products that are laden with MSG, preservatives and other undesirable additives.
