10-15-2009, 09:07 PM
Just wondering what are your favourite instant Japanese noodles/dishes?
I always love making Tonkotsu Ramen by Sapporo Ichiban. They can come in packs like this:  Another favourite will have to be instant Yakisoba. I've enjoyed many variations different brands by including this one:  I'm willing to try some other ones if you guys recommend them!

There are lot's of instant noodles here in UK, I find them to be cheap convienient and nutritious, they come either as pot noodles where u pour hot water and add flavouring sachet or in packets where you boil them in a pot then add satchet, my fav is vegetable flavour and I prefer them dry than as a soup, I add boiling water till theyre hot then drain and mix in the flavour, really weird I kno but I love them topped with hot sauce and natural yogurt!

Cheap and convenient, sure, but nutritious? It's mostly sodium and starch.
I am looking at a pack of Sapporo Ichiban Miso flavored noodles right now. This little package claims to be THREE servings...I know people that eat two or three packages at a time. So this package has 48% of daily recommended saturated fat and 84% of daily recommended sodium (almost 2000mg of sodium in one pack) So don't eat instant noodles for the health benefits, please...

And the cheaper the instant ramen the higher that sodium level goes!
The two I alternate for work lunches are a bit better most, but without a good diet to offset them I would expect health problems. Paldo Kimchi Ramen: fat 16%, sodium 50%, Carb 12%, Vitamin A 5% Paldo Chorella Ramen: fat 13% sodium 35% (832 g), Carb 13%, Calcium 9% Quote:

After having the real stuff in Japan, the instant ramen is merely a disappointing reminder to me. That and the sodium content keeps me away from them.
