Recipe #1: Breakfast

Recipe #2: Lunch

For lunch, Rowena tackles Japanese cuisine by cooking herself some nutritious soba noodles and miso soup. Authentic soba is 100% buckwheat, making it a great source of manganese, protein, and fiber.

6. Finish with scallions

Soba Noodles

1. Boil water and toss in the noodles; follow instructions on box for cooking time
