Chops & noodles! I dont know about you but this is certainly a favourite of mine!

But Im going to be brutally honest, ramen noodles are terrible for you! Everything in moderation I guess will not harm you but this certainly does not fall in the list of healthy foods. You could remove the noodles, make the vegetables and add an egg! This sounds more like the healthy option!

I still loved everything about this recipe, from the fresh chopped veggies to the marinated pork in soy mixture. Everyone in the family loved it.

Vegetables can be time consuming to prep but well worth it in the end.

Enjoy
