There is nothing better than a warming flavorful ramen soup during the cold season. Ramen is a noodle soup from Japan. There are many different ways to make ramen soup.

In addition, with fried tofu, udon noodles and vegetables the ramen soup tastes so delicious. The soup consists only of healthy ingredients and is simple to make.

Ramen Noodle Soup – Healthy and low in calories!

Ramen is a Japanese noodle soup that consists of four different parts which are: soup, sauce, noodles and toppings. You can prepare ramen according to your taste. So the recipe is very adaptable. The important thing is the spicy broth. You can change the toppings as you like. The soup is often prepared with meat. The vegetarian version usually contains egg. So what goes well with the vegan ramen soup? Definitely tofu or tempeh. By the way, an insider tip is to use fried onions as a topping. They give the soup a very special flavor.

Ramen soup is not only low in calories but also very healthy. Ramen Soup consists mainly of natural and high-quality ingredients. If you prepare it fresh, it contains many vitamins, good fats and nutrients. Tofu or Tempeh provides the protein. The more colorful vegetables you add the healthier the dish becomes. Ramen noodles in the whole grain version contain more nutrients than wheat noodles.

Ramen is also an inexpensive dish. You don’t need much to produce a large quantity. You can eat a few days of it. So it is the perfect recipe for Meal Prep.

How to store Ramen soup?

Ramen is best stored without noodles. You can store just the soup in an airtight container in the fridge. You can simply heat it up in portions and pour the soup over the ramen noodles. If you store the soup with the noodles, the noodles will become sticky and not as enjoyable. The toppings should also not be kept with the noodles but can be packed individually in tins or add them fresh to the soup.
