Is she related to Sum Ting Wong?
Must be cousins....................
Back when we ate such noodles, we did exactly this: added veggies; half or less of flavor packet; added protein; added spices. It made a nice meal.
Saw lots of kids bring these to school for lunch, they’d ask for hot water. They’d always toss the vegetable pack.
They’d have that along with Red Bull for lunch.
I have a delicious recipe for a ramen salad that uses cabbage and other vegetables along with the ramen noodles, which you break apart and then become soft when the dressing is added.
Dressing is rice vinegar based. Family loves it.
I didn’t know what ramen was before about 1995. Only ate it a couple of times since then. However, now it’s in my TEOTWAWKI supplies.
Homemade tomato bread topped with a nuked 1 minute poached egg and 1/4 avocado costs 42 cents, much healthier than ramen or burgers and less time. Off to make a plate now, yum.
It’s not only the instant noodles. Most takeaway food has too much salt. The same applies for many snacks like potato chips.
You can eat them everyday of your life.
A very short life.................
Noodles = Cup of Cholesterol
What could co wrong
Yes, definitely. Completely exist on ramen and Red Bull, nothing else. Ignore what anyone else tells you.
Back when I was 20 and having bad times, every day I ate 2 boxes of mac & cheese and a 2 liter Pepsi.
I called in the $2.00 meal plan. It was all I could afford on the $15.00 a week I got from selling blood plasma.
Moroheiya green noodles
Here is your very nutritional alternative. I really like these. Also they are not fried they are steamed. I buy these at a local Asian store but you can order them on Amazon or directly from the company

I bought a whole bunch of instant noodles and cup of soup yrs ago to “prepare”....I find their taste really does diminish...I am thinking of throwing them out.
“I ate Ramen noodles with a hotdog sliced up in them for lunch every day at work”
The cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast ...
“That’s called Clab in our house.”
we call it K-rab ... and refuse to eat it:
Imitation crab, also known as surimi, typically contains the following ingredients:
Fish Paste (Surimi): Made from white fish like pollock or hake.
Water: Used as a filler and to adjust texture.
Starch: Often corn, potato, or tapioca starch for binding and texture.
Egg White: Adds firmness and elasticity.
Sugar: Enhances flavor and acts as a preservative.
Salt: For flavor and preservation.
Crab Flavoring: Natural or artificial flavor to mimic crab taste.
Vegetable Oil: Improves texture and mouthfeel.
Food Coloring: Often red or pink (e.g., paprika or carmine) to resemble crab meat.
Preservatives: Such as sodium benzoate or sorbic acid to extend shelf life.
Stabilizers: Like sorbitol or polyphosphates to maintain texture.
they use Ringer’s solution for IV fluid:
Ringer’s solution, also known as Lactated Ringer’s or Hartmann’s solution, is a balanced crystalloid solution used for fluid and electrolyte replacement. It contains various salts like sodium, potassium, calcium, and chloride, and sometimes lactate. It is used to restore blood volume, treat dehydration, and correct electrolyte imbalances, particularly in situations like blood loss, burns, and certain medical conditions.
Yeah, it’s not something we buy, that’s for sure. Wife totally avoids it. I might eat something with it from time to time, but generally avoid it.
We had some yummy warm water lobster tails a couple nights ago for a special occasion. It’s helpful that Costco also carries ghee, which saves having to clarify butter.
I laughed when I read that myself. Glad someone else noticed.
