We were planning to check out a new local ramen restaurant.
I decided to quickly check their website to make sure they were open for lunch while putting our coat on, and I found out that the restaurant itself was not even open yet!
Good thing we checked.
Since I was already in the mood for ramen, I made it myself.
This is vegan ramen, yet the soup is rich and super flavorful.
This delicious ramen was served with a lot of sauteed vegetables.
I did some experiment by using the ramen noodle made of rice flour we found at Costco.
It was certainly different from the regular ramen noodle but wasn’t bad.
I’m not on a gluten-free diet, but it would be a good option for people who are.
