Healthy Ramen Noodles

Ramen noodles always reminds me of a college dorm room, with students eating the cheapest and quickest food to eat. Ocean's Halo Organic Ramen Noodles contains 290 mg of sodium in one packet, compared to 891 mg in the instant chicken flavored ramen found in the dorm room! Ocean's Halo contains 4 packets per box. I found them in the Asian aisle in my local grocery store. I used 3 packets for this recipe, which made enough for 2 dinners and 2 lunches for the next day.

Ingredients
  • 3 packets Ocean's Halo Ramen noodles
  • 1-1/2 to 2 cups veggie broth
  • 3 scallions, sliced
  • 1 cup frozen peas 
  • 2 baby or 1 medium Bok choy (slice and keep the top greens separate)
  • 2 carrots, shaved with peeler
  • Low sodium tamari sauce
  • San-J Umami with red miso  (optional, but gives the dish a wonderful flavor
  • Salt, pepper, paprika, turmeric spices                                              
Instructions
Add sliced scallions to a large, hot frying pan. Stir for a few minutes, add the whites of the Bok choy, peas, and around 1/2 cup veggie broth, a few splashes of Tamari, and a drizzle of Umami.  Stir and simmer for about 10 minutes. Add the greens of the Bok choy, and the carrots. Season with salt, pepper, turmeric and paprika (as much as you like) Add more veggie broth if it looks dry.  Meanwhile, cook the noodles according to package directions, drain when done and add to frying pan. Add a few splashes more tamari and umami. Simmer until all vegetables are tender.  Add more veggie broth if it looks dry or if you like it more "brothy". Chop sticks are optional!
