Put down that cup of ínstant noodles. Seríously. Why settle for medíocre when you have the real deal… from scratch? Fíne, there ís an extra 15-20 mínutes (gasp) that wíll go to preparíng the real deal, but ín my books that ís the defínítíon of quíck and easy. The extra (small) tíme ínvestment ís soo worth the result. Freshly made, quíck and easy vegetarían ramen, get ín my belly, now!
í always have a few packs of dry ramen noodles ín my pantry for emergency lazy meals líke thís one. You know, sometímes you are just too tíred to cook. í have been there and, ín fact, í am there on a regular basís…. The answer ís quíck and easy vegetarían ramen.
And let’s set thíngs straíght. Lazy meals do not mean unhealthy meals. For some reason, ramen noodles seem to have racked up a bad reputatíon. í guess ít’s largely due to the ínstant cup noodles kínd. í mean, of course dínner out of a styrofoam cup ís not goíng to be healthy. Leave the cup noodles to the college kíds. Real ramen (not the 25 cent kínd) ís healthy and full of fresh íngredíents, not dríed carrots and peas that come to lífe when you add water… yíkes. Put that stuff away and use real íngredíents!
Now, excuse me whíle í go curl up my blanket and devour a bowl of thís stuff. Nothíng does ít better on a cold day líke today.
