Why I love Ginger Sesame Noodles
Recently, I have been in love with this delicious and simple Asian-style dish. The best thing about it, by being gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan it is suitable for almost everyone. If you are looking for more inspiration, another favourite of mine is this Healthy Baked Sweet And Sour Cauliflower.
Sesame and ginger work together perfectly by aiding digestion and helping boost your immune system. Personally, I also love its fresh and warming flavour. During the flu season, there is nothing better than a comforting Turmeric Ginger Tea.
