Curry dish is a super-healthy and tasty recipe
by Patsy Matsumura, Advertiser Food Editor         (9/15/93)      
 
Ruth's Rice Ramen Curry is a super-healthy recipe created by 
Ruth Heidrich, who holds national and international records in
triaathlons.
  
"This dish came about because I needed a carbohydrate-based 
diet to support my Iron-man-level triathlon training regimen," 
she explained. "It's not only tasty and economical, but it's 
high in fiber, low in fat and contains no cholesterol. It 
combines the best in grains, pasta and greens and is a snap to 
make - only 3 or 4 minutes of your time."
  
A vegetarian, Heidrich is not only consious of her diet, but 
she also tries to help others to improve their eating habits. 
This dish meets nearly all your daily requirements for 
protein, vitamins and minerals.
   
"When I take my Rice Ramen Curry to potluck parties, everyone 
likes it, even the kids," she said. "When I first offered the 
dish to my four grandchildren in Washington, D.C., they were 
reluctant, but once they tried it, they loved it."

Heidrich is author of "A Race For Life."

1 package ramen noodles
1 cup cilantro (Chinese parsely), chopped

Cook a pot of rice in your rice cooker. Break up the ramen 
noodles in the package with the heel of your hand. Open

ingredients. 
This can be served hot or cold. Makes 4 to 6 servings.
