Notes
This recipe is for all my PCOS girls that love a good ramen. Yes, you heard me right. You absolutely can eat ramen as a PCOS girlie. Carbs, when paired with ample protein, fibre, and healthy fats, make for a balanced meal that supports balanced blood sugars and insulin levels. Just remember the following:
We want to aim for a minimum for 25-30g protein per meal. This is the macronutrient that by far promotes the most satiety so we are not left craving a snack every 10 minutes. This recipe has a total of 30g of protein coming from shrimp, edamame, and a store-bought bone broth. If you are not crazy about shrimp, then you can swap with chicken, hard-boiled eggs, or tofu.
We want to aim for as much fibre as possible but also strive for DIVERSITY when it comes to plant foods. Remember, fibre is not food for you - it feeds the trillions of bacteria in our gut, which in term support our metabolism, mood, and overall well-bring. This recipe has a total of 7g fibre coming from 7 different sources - brown rice/millet noodles, bok choy, shiitake mushrooms, kale, scallions, jalapeños, and sesame seeds. This is your chance to use up all those veggie scraps in the fridge that are about to go bad!
We want a few tablespoons of healthy fats to support hormone production. The fats in this recipe are coming from olive oil + bone broth but you can also add toasted sesame oil which gives it a nice finish.
