Eastern Market Ramen Noodles

Cinco de Mayo - Pasta and Noodle

This bowl of noodle goodness was made possible by all the local farmers in the DC Metro area. Thank you for your dedication to cultivating and offering fresh, locally grown veggies. I use Nature is Delicious® non-fried Korean ramen noodles. Noodles, nutrients, spice. I can't think of a more perfect bowl of tasty, spicy, healthy bowl of slurpiness.
