Gluten Free Elevated Kimchi Ramen
I spent my formative years in Asia and noodle soups were a staple of our diet. When we returned to the States, packaged ramen was our closest substitute. And honestly, I loved ramen! Even those cheap 15-cent bricks of ramen.
This was of course before I knew I had to follow a gluten-free diet. Until recently, I couldn’t recall the last time I had a bowl of ramen
Enter GloryLand, a company that not only makes gluten-free ramen but makes really good gluten-free ramen. So, I went for a while just enjoying it straight out of the carton. But I have never been one to leave good alone, so I decided to elevate this dish and even make it company-worthy.
I was having some vegans over for lunch, so I crisped up some tofu, fried up some kimchi, and added it to GloryLand’s Brown Rice & Millet Noodle Kimchi Soup. Delicious! Even if you aren’t a vegan.
