Uncommon Ramen
This is not your plain old ramen noodle lunch. Although the recipe is quite simple when you use the packet of noodles from your favorite grocery store. If you eat meat, use the beef pho base and add chicken. If you prefer this to be more plant-based simply use the vegetable pho base Either way, the earthy taste of the mushrooms will add that umami flavor to what is normally a plain soup.The cilantro add brightness and if you like spice just add a little Sriracha sauce!

Notes
You can use 1 Tbsp of Pho paste and 2.5 cups of water instead of the Pho broth
This recipe has lots of sodium between the Pho Broth and the Seasoning Packet. If you want to cut some of the sodium we suggest that you omit the seasoning packet from the noodles and just using the broth. Or simply add a half packet.
Depending on which Pho base you select the nutritional values may change. Always check the label of the product you are using in the recipe and factor that information accordingly.
Vegans/Vegetarian - Substitute tofu for chicken or used a plant based chicken product, Vegetable Pho in lieu of beef pho.
