Ramen is where it starts. Not where it ends. NOMI replaces rice, pasta, and conventional noodles, the base layer that used to contribute nothing. Same techniques, same flavors, a base layer that finally pulls its weight.
Not just noodles in a bowl.
Every meal has a base layer: the starch that takes up half the plate and contributes almost nothing. NOMI makes that base layer work: 30 to 32g of protein built into what used to be empty carbs. The technique doesn't change. The base layer does.
