Healthier Gluten Free Ramen
Jump to RecipeA simple and flavorful take on lo mein-style noodles, made gluten-free! Perfect as a side dish or base for a protein-packed meal, with a light yet delicious sauce.
So, ya know shrimp lo mein? That was my go-to takeout order whenever my parents got Chinese food. Something about those perfectly sauced brown noodles and the tiny shrimp just hit the spot every time.
This recipe is kind of, sort of, my take on those lo mein noodles. I know it’s not a traditional lo mein or ramen recipe—this is just something I dreamed up when craving those nostalgic flavors. But, of course, I had to make it gluten-free and healthier!
While this works as a fantastic side dish, it also makes a great base for a veggie stir-fry or your favorite protein. The sauce is my go to stir fry sauce. It includes a little cornstarch and thickens as it heats up and really coats the ramen noodles. Yum!
We use Lotus Foods ramen cakes for this recipe. These noodles are a game-changer. Made from organic millet and brown rice, they’re naturally gluten-free and packed with fiber and protein. Unlike traditional wheat-based ramen, these noodles are easily digestible and free from additives or oils.
Glow Notes
By swapping traditional wheat noodles for Lotus Foods Organic Millet & Brown Rice Ramen, you’re choosing a gluten-free, whole-grain base rich in fiber and protein. The accompanying sauce is light yet flavorful, with tamari providing a gluten-free alternative to soy sauce. With just a touch of honey, this dish satisfies your taste buds without overloading on sweetness. Top it off with fresh scallions and sesame seeds for added crunch and nutrients. Or go wild and add more of your favorite veggies.
