Ramen isn't healthy, but love those thin noodles. Throw out the seasoning packs, add some butter or spices, mackerel >sardines. But how healthy are the noodles?
Also Ramen general I guess

[Anonymous No.9781712]

>>9781708
instant noodles aren't really ramen

[Anonymous No.9781713]

they are extremely healthy

[Anonymous No.9781717]

-12 for $3.15 or $2.40 for no name, Tried the really thin pasta but it's not the same, just concerned about the food quality + made in China + is a bit of a red flag.

BP is at upper limits, I used to just put half a pack of the seasoning in, I'm the type that drains the water out from the finished noodles.

Something being deep fried doesn't instantly make it unhealthy. If fried properly, they won't absorb that much oil, and as long as you balance it out and don't consume a bunch of fat elsewhere, it's okay. It's still just mainly flour though, so eat a bunch of vegetables and a protein with it, don't just eat a bunch of noodles and instant broth.

[Anonymous No.9781772]

Someone pointed out a low sodium Asian seasoning, several post back BDNS .

>So, bottom line, until we know more, my current thinking on the matter is: if you really like rice, you can moderate your risk by cutting down, choosing lower-arsenic varieties, and cooking it in a way to lower exposure even further. But, if you like other whole grains just as much—like if you simply don’t care either way if you have rice vs. quinoa, or whatever, I’d choose the lower-arsenic option.

each pack of noodles is 400 calories, the seasoning packs only add sodium and trace flavoring. Throwing out the packs, adding butter and seasonings you're just slightly reducing the sodium and increasing the fat and calorie content.

Like other anon said, this is pretty bottom barrel healthwise

Was being sarcastic, but a big thank you for the clarification.
I had just found this.

Instant Noodles were invented in 1958 by Momofuku Ando and were most likely your very first introduction to the world of ramen. What hungry college student hasn't nursed themselves out of a hangover over a 59¢ bowl of instant ramen? The most common method of production is to deep-fry par-cooked bricks of noodles to dehydrate them (aka "de-fry-drating"). Take a look at the fat content on a pack of inexpensive instant ramen. That all comes from the dehydrating process.

Higher-end instant noodle brands, such as Myoja Chukazanmai, are made by air-drying par-cooked noodles, resulting in an end product that's costlier to produce, but far more similar to traditional ramen.

wrong. the sodium is in the flavor powder. the noodles are just carbs and fat since they're flash fried in palm oil.

[Anonymous No.9782524]

>>9782510
>just carbs and fat

The noodles are also seasoned:

It imitates the way fresh noodles absorb the soup in their outer body while retaining a firm, springy core

I just thought that they are a great way to make a quick side to any meal, as you've seen in the pics I uploaded, just questioning the quality.

Maybe I should just stop being cheap and buy the Korean or Japanese ones.
any recommendations

[Anonymous No.9783254]

cant have the noodles anymore on keto but you can make 'noodles' out of meat paste and egg whites

my question is how do you make a good spicy broth for them. Seafood preferably

[Anonymous No.9783284]

>>9781751
>instant noodles are deep fried.
I saw a documentary years ago on the inventor of the instant ramen packaged food. The deep frying was so that it preserved that curly texture throughout boiled, something you could previously only get from your stove top in a second step where you pan fried your drained noodles, or if you had noodle extractors and the durum wheat semolina flour of the italian brands, but nope. This was the cheap alternative. He was a genius.

But, yes, consequently, the noodles are in no way considered health food. From the sauces, to the inherent fattiness. They are simply low cost food that sustains a starving person.

If you really are into thin noodles, just start buying really nice pasta from around the world. Fat isn't the only big evil thing you can do. Stop hanging on the word "healthy" like eating a big serving carbs is ever going to get you that title, and just start thinking about nutritional benefits of your whole day's diet, hopefully from a variety of foods and sources, hitting all your food groups without being the same thing too often, and then balance that caloric intake with appropriate exercise and activity levels.

[Anonymous No.9783295]

>>9781766
Yeah they dry the noodles by deep frying them that's what means you can cook them so quickly
