A super simple, nutrient-dense meal. A cabbage and tofu noodle dish that provides antioxidants, fiber, vitamin D, and plant-based protein.
In light of everything happening with the Corona Virus, I have been hesitant to focus on sharing new meals. I know that right now, food options are limited for some. Some are unable to leave their home, and many are being greatly affected by this virus. I am thinking so often of those suffering in any way, and doing my best to protect those around me.
I wanted to share this wholesome, immunity-boosting meal because it is simple, and most of the ingredients you may have on hand or will be hopefully be relatively easy for you to purchase.
I started making this dish a few months back without much of a recipe. However, when I shared it on my story you guys were begging for one! So I’m so happy to finally get this on the blog for you 🙂
It’s gluten free, vegan, and ready in about 20 minutes. The best kind of meals!
The cabbage in this dish provides lots of antioxidants to boost our immunity, while also providing fiber to keep us full and protect our gut. The mushrooms provide us with Vitamin D, another great bonus, while the spinach packs tons of vitamins and minerals. And you can never go wrong with some cozy carbs!
You can definitely make some adjustments to this based on what you are able to have on hand. Sub any greens for the spinach, and simply leave out the mushrooms if you can’t find any (though my grocery store had plenty!). You can also use any type of noodle you have!
Enjoy, and stay healthy and safe! xx
