#TheTenByTen is our recipe series on amazing healthy dishes you can make with less than 10 ingredients, in less than 10 minutes of prep. 

I LOVE NOODLES! It’s something I definitely cannot give up in my life.

I spent my days at university eating noodles (more than I like to admit), so this recipe is definitely inspired by those late night evenings of being a broke university student.

We all know instant noodles are not the healthiest meal around, but this recipe shows you how to revamp your noodles into a nutritious and even more satisfying meal!

The real important player of this recipe is the miso ginger dressing. If you are not familiar with miso, it is a fermented soybean paste that provides an excellent source of minerals. Ginger, a wonderful herb, helps with gastrointestinal issues, nausea, and so much more.

To save time, I used a strip slicer (julienne slicer) to cut the carrots. It’s okay if you don’t have one, you can julienne the carrots by hand. You will notice I reuse carrots and scallions in the dressing, it adds a great texture.

Let's get started!

Toppings

  • 2 packets of brown rice ramen (or Mr. Noodles if you like)
  • 2 carrots
  • 1 stalk of scallions

Cutting Board


Dressing (makes about 500 mL)

  • 2 tbsp. Genmai miso (or chickpea

  • sauce works too)

  • ½ lemon
  • 1 tbsp. sesame oil
  • 1 whole Fresh ginger root

  • 1 stalk of scallions

Optional: add cilantro or Thai chillies for extra flavour & kick!

        Miso Ramen Finished

        To make the ramen salad heartier, add grilled tofu or chicken. For another added bonus, add zoodles (zucchini noodles) for more nutrients and veggies.

        Pack this into a mason jar or any container and you're set for lunch the next day too.
