Happy Wednesday!! How’s it going for y’all? Over here in Connecticut we got a bit of snow, though I think less than was expected. I don’t mind it, but I’m already in spring mode. I just LOVE spring… it’s such a beautiful time of renewal, growth, and revival. Plus, I absolutely love spring food. I’m ready to break out this roasted asparagus pasta, and my healthy green shamrock shake!
So today’s recipe is a little quirky. Have you heard about that guy who said millennials could be buying homes, if only they stopped buying avocado toast? His statement has since been thoroughly debunked, but I wanted to make this recipe as a tongue-in-cheek response to it.
But how to make avocado toast more millennial? Well, I could hardly put a unicorn frappuccino on top of toast, but figured ramen would go nicely! I loved that packaged ramen in college, but I’ve noticed more and more restaurants are carrying gourmet versions nowadays. But I drew the line at simple ramen – there was no way I was going to make a millennial pink version.
It might seem like ramen on top of toast would be weird, but I loved the combination and I hope you will too! If not, you could just eat the ramen and toast separately… the ramen is stir-fried with sriracha, tamari (or soy sauce), and ginger, so it’s super flavorful and tasty on its own. Plus, making avocado toast at home saves money – maybe you’ll be able to buy a house with all that extra cash! ;) Cheers!
