Ramen often gets a bad rap. But that’s because many folks only know those ramen as those cheap instant noodle packages that you find in the stores.
Don’t get me wrong, those instant noodles were my best friend when I was a super poor, struggling college kid. Back then I never really knew that another world of ramen existed. But there is definitely more to those oh-so comforting noodles that go beyond instant!
I am talking about delicious noodles in a rich broth that includes tasty veggies, hearty protein, and in my perfect bowl, a delicious soft-boiled egg! And while not instant, my version is ready in a matter of minutes making it ideal for a tasty meal whenever you want.
Now some folks avoid ramen due to the often high sodium levels. But, there is a way to cut the salt without cutting the flavor… I use Knorr Zero Salt Chicken Bouillon! It’s my trick to adding rich flavor to my recipes without the worry of salt.
New Knorr Zero Salt Bouillon proves that zero salt does NOT mean zero flavor! Made with an expert blend of natural chicken flavor, vegetables and spices, this chicken bouillon gives you all the flavor with none of the salt. This powder bouillon is made with real vegetables, herbs and spices, like carrots, onion and parsley, and is made with absolutely no artificial flavors or preservatives.
