We just couldn’t get warm today. So hot steaming We just couldn’t get warm today. So hot steaming noodles in a rich mushroom broth was just perfect for lunch! How did we have time for this?....⠀ ⠀ We had the chance to try @Mikeiredreishi Mushroom Stick Ramen and they were fantastic! Ready in 3 minutes and just the right combo of warming and filling. The broth tasted like it had been simmering all day! ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ We added green onion slices for a perfect Japanese lunch. Added bonus was the 7 kinds of mushroom extracts in the noodles and broth: red reishi, maitake, kiirotake, shitake, fukurotake, chakitake and chitake. Definitely a power bowl! ⠀ ⠀ 🍄 Want to try these delicious noodles and other @Mikeiredreishi products for yourself? ⠀ ⠀ Use coupon code HFMIKEI to receive 10% off and free shipping with every purchase of $100+. Offer valid until January 31, 2020.⠀ ⠀ ____________________________________⠀ ⠀ For over 45 years, the Mayuzumi family of Japan has perfected the cultivation and extraction of red reishi. As one of the first pioneers in this specialized field, they continue to produce premium reishi products to share the health benefits of this revered herb. Mikei is crafted with the Mayuzumis’ proprietary reishi strain. Red reishi is a medicinal mushroom known to help support the immune system, reduce the effects of stress, and balance energy levels. @Mikeiredreishi is your source for high quality red reishi products.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #reishi #reishimushroom #foodfinds #soup #soupseason #noodles #noodlesoup #noodlelover #noodles🍜 #mushroom #mushrooms #🍄 #japanesefood #japanesenoodle #japanesenoodles #foodblogger #vancouvereats #vegan #vancouvervegan #healthylunch #veganvancouver #vegansoup #vancouverfoodblogger #yvreats #hflvancouver #healthylivingvancouver
