Healthy Ramen noodles- a recommendation/tip

 

开云体育

Hello All,

?

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.

?

Hope this helps!

Do you have a brand name or picture of a package?? I found these at Safeway, and they have vegetarian options.? Good calories/weight ratio, too.

Try the ramen by Packit Gourmet. ?You add your own noodles but they include everything else.

I’m sorry, I don’t. I already repackaged. But, they shouldn’t be too hard to find. Thanks for your tip. I think the ones I found were 300 calories per pack, vs. the 190 on your link.

They're just bigger. The calories per unit weight for ramen is pretty much the same across the board.

I like the Korean style ramen because of the quality of the noodles. The powdered flavor packets are garbage just like every other ramen but they are easily replaced with a little dashi or miso. Nongshim is one manufacturer that has a number of "flavors" available. They're a Korean company but the noodles sold here are manufactured in southern California.

I know it's super popular in Japan but ramen is kind of trashy junk food mostly. Fried white flour: not much there nutritionally except calories. But on the trail they can be heavenly. And they are so easy to cook. You can even eat them raw if your stove breaks. The big problem is that they're bulky and have to be left out or at least limited if you have a full bear canister. I've probably eaten well over 1000 packages.

I crush them up so they’re not so bulky. Fortunately, I really like Ramen Noodles so it’s a cheap lightweight calorie source for me

Has anyone tried Vite Ramen noodles?? Curious what others think.? I order a 6-pack of just noodles, combined it with "Ramen Rescue" from Packit Gourmet, which is basically some added dried vegetables and red pepper flakes. I used a spicy flavor packet from Shin Ramyun "Gourmet Spicy" ramen, and even at half strength that stuff was hot!
 

"I crush them up so they’re not so bulky."

I do the same thing but only to a point. I want noodles not ramen rice. So they're still kind of bulky.


"Fortunately, I really like Ramen Noodles so it’s a cheap lightweight calorie source for me"

Agree 100%. Super cheap, even the fancy Korean ones. Add a package of tuna, some veggies, and (if it's a special occasion) a $2 wine.
 

Try this brand of instant noodle if you like hot coconut curry broth. They have other flavors, like crab and shrimp. If you find them at an Asian market they're cheaper than Amazon; just used the link for the photos.?

We add freeze-dried chicken, spinach, and broccoli to the mix. It's epic as far as ramen goes.
