Ramen Con Leche: An Asian Twist On A Classic Hispanic Dessert
If you’ve ever had Ramen for dinner and wished you could have a bowl of it for dessert, we’ve got you covered.
The Japanese noodle is a savory staple in Japanese culture, but blend it with a bit of Latin American inspiration, and you’ve got yourself Ramen con Leche.
Inspired by Arroz con Leche, the sweet rice pudding often made in Spanish-speaking countries, Ramen con Leche adds a Japanese twist to the cinnamon-filled dessert.
