    Fun fact: the little flavor packet in that grocery store ramen has as much sodium as you should get in an entire day in it.

      I’m pretty sure that the Maruchan ramen flavor packs for chicken and beef are just ground up bouillon cubes, the taste is indistinguishable.

      Fun fact: Literally no one thinks instant noodles are healthy food 😂

      That’s if you drink all the broth though.

        Who wants to make a bunch of delicious broth and then not drink it though?

          I learned the wrong way to do it and like it. Boil the noodles, drain the water and then add the packet. Mix and enjoy. If the sodium isn’t killing me yet, add some hot sauce.

            “Dreid” mixed noodles are totally a legit thing. There are noodles are meant to be eaten like that.

            If you want to try with regular noodles, a basic one is made with soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. You can throw in some hot sauce if you’re feeling spicy, fish sauce, whatever. Stir fry it with whatever protein, throw some green onion on it if you feel like putting in the effort. It’s a tad bit more involved than instant noodles but very easy still.

            The ones I eat (Super Noodles brand) you’re supposed to boil them in a pan until the water evaporates. No wasted flavours.

            Course I also chuck in MSG, an egg, pepper, and then add cheddar, mozzarella and a bit of meat once the water is all gone.

      I usually make two packs and add a little extra salt for flavour. Yum! Also sometimes some hot stuff, if I have it.

      Can confirm. Mixed one pack of Buldak (67% daily recommended sodium) and one pack of Neoguri (80% daily recommended sodium) today. Fortunately we only do this like once or twice a month.
