Ramen with veggies, sprouts and sauerkraut
We love the ramen, but as environmentally conscious nutrient hunters we have realized the need for other variations of the dish to reduce the carbon footprint the dish acquires as the ingredients travel across our seas.
Ramen is a Japanese dish with noddles and vegetables served in broth. This variety is plant-based and made with veggies that are often cultivated in western countries.
This recipe is from our third book “The Nutrient Hunter” (available in English here). The dish you see to the left in the pic is our Planet Friendly Poké Wowl which is also found in the same book.
