What is Moringa?

How to Make Udon Noodle Soup with Miracle Moringa:
This recipe is incredibly straightforward. We start by browning the tofu to give it a lovely texture. Then, we sauté the aromatics – garlic and ginger – followed by the vegetables. The coconut milk and water create a creamy, flavorful broth, and the Moringa powder adds a subtle earthy note and a boost of nutrients. Finally, we add the udon noodles and bok choy, letting them cook until tender. A squeeze of lime and a sprinkle of fresh herbs complete this delicious and wholesome meal.
Tips & Variations:
- Spice it up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of sriracha for a little heat.
- Add more veggies: Mushrooms, spinach, or bell peppers would be great additions.
- Protein boost: Add shrimp, chicken, or edamame for extra protein.
- Make it vegan: Ensure your udon noodles are vegan-friendly.
