During these hot summer months, noodle bowls have become a staple in the Kelly house. I love making stovetop dinners when the temperature rises in August…no need to heat up the house for this quick and nutritious dinner that comes together in as little as 15-20 minutes. Keeping it light, our Jade Pearl Ramen Noodle Bowls are made with Lotus Foods Jade Pearl Rice Ramen noodles, a variety of organic summer vegetables and a sweet miso and wakame broth.
Noodle bowls are the perfect opportunity to add sea vegetables into your diet. I like adding finely chopped, soaked wakame to my miso broth before pouring over the noodles and veggies. The perfect disguise for these otherwise strong tasting but highly nutritious sea foods.
Benefits of Wakame
- A rich source of magnesium – critical for muscle relaxation and contraction.
- Rich in iodine – According to the American Thyroid Association, “Iodine is an element needed for the production of thyroid hormone.” “If you do not have enough iodine in your body, you cannot make enough thyroid hormone.”
