My Favorite Ramen Noodles for Ramen Bowls

Another healthy hack I use for my ramen bowls, is to use less authentic but totally tasty noodles that aren’t deep fried or loaded with additives.

They’reKA-ME Curly Noodlesand are a great healthier option for ramen bowls! These noodles are pretty easy to find and I’ve found them at Publix, Target, and on Amazon.
