You may not know, but most pre-packaged instant noodles/ramen have some unhealthy ingredients in them, including MSG, TBHQ, etc¡.. In addition, I¡¯m also vegetarian, which limited the options even further. Recently, I went into an H Mart, which is a Korean grocery store, and found vegetarian kimchi flavored noodles. They had other options available as well, but the main thing is the ingredients were much healthier. As an additional benefit, I found these to have about 50% more calories than the brands I found at the Japanese grocery stores.
