Fun fact: the little flavor packet in that grocery store ramen has as much sodium as you should get in an entire day in it.

I'm pretty sure that the Maruchan ramen flavor packs for chicken and beef are just ground up bouillon cubes, the taste is indistinguishable.

[–] RandomStickman@kbin.social 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That's what chicken/beef flavour are.

Source: ate a scoop of powdered chicken bouillon and tasted like chicken flavoured snacks.

ate a scoop of powdered chicken bouillon

...nope, not gonna ask.

Curiosity didn't kill the cat... This time.

I'm suddenly wondering why powdered bouillon in a shaker jar isn't an actual product yet. It's no weirder than things like popcorn seasoning or bacon salt, after all.

[–] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I'm pretty sure I've seen that at the grocery store

[–] Astarii_Tyler@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Its 100% a thing

Fun fact: Literally no one thinks instant noodles are healthy food 😂

[–] interceder270@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

They're probably not aware of how unhealthy too much sodium is, though.

Most of us are.

[–] Destraight@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

How is that fact fun?

[–] versionist@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's if you drink all the broth though.

[–] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Who wants to make a bunch of delicious broth and then not drink it though?

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

I learned the wrong way to do it and like it. Boil the noodles, drain the water and then add the packet. Mix and enjoy. If the sodium isn't killing me yet, add some hot sauce.

[–] RandomStickman@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

"Dreid" mixed noodles are totally a legit thing. There are noodles are meant to be eaten like that.

If you want to try with regular noodles, a basic one is made with soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. You can throw in some hot sauce if you're feeling spicy, fish sauce, whatever. Stir fry it with whatever protein, throw some green onion on it if you feel like putting in the effort. It's a tad bit more involved than instant noodles but very easy still.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

The ones I eat (Super Noodles brand) you're supposed to boil them in a pan until the water evaporates. No wasted flavours.

Course I also chuck in MSG, an egg, pepper, and then add cheddar, mozzarella and a bit of meat once the water is all gone.

Waste not want not.

Look at Bezos over here, eating more than once a day

[–] xePBMg9@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I usually make two packs and add a little extra salt for flavour. Yum! Also sometimes some hot stuff, if I have it.

[–] scytale@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Can confirm. Mixed one pack of Buldak (67% daily recommended sodium) and one pack of Neoguri (80% daily recommended sodium) today. Fortunately we only do this like once or twice a month.

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemdro.id 3 points 1 year ago

I'm pretty sure they deep fry them to dehydrated them too
