hey when you are craving something, eat it.
Worst advice ever?0 -
My husband needs a lot of calories and often asks me to make ramen noodles for him as a snack... I make 2 packets (not the cup kind) but once I found out how much sodium that was, I didn't feel right giving that to him!
It might not be a "recipe" but it cuts the crazy sodium. I use only 1 of the 2 seasoning packets that come with the noodles. To make up for the other one, I add a Herb Ox sodium free instant beef bouillon packet and then just add some onion powder, garlic powder, a pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper. He likes it even better than when I just used both packets that came with the ramen. (: A bit better for you too!0 -

Why is this the worst advice ever? I mean, I'm sure they meant "eat it in moderation". Not, "go to your local grocer and clear the shelf off in a sweeping arm motion into your cart and eat all 137 packages of Ramen once you get home."0 -
Wow are there some snotty people on this thread or what?!!! I'll give you a bit of advice: I choose to "handle" what I want, & that includes NOT spending 400 calories & a BAZILLION sodium grams on yes the PACKAGED kind!!! WOOT WOOT for good old fashion whole fresh food :-))Skip the "ramen" noodles...did you know they are FRIED before dehydrating/packaging? I do now! Try whole grain or whole wheat pasta :-)
Maybe she wasn't talking about the noodles that come in a bag. If she was, I'll give you another little bit of history behind them that you may not know. They're delicious. If you can't handle 400 calories of delicious noodles once in awhile, it's not the ramen's fault.0 -

LOL Seriously, thank you! This made me laugh and it was much needed today.0 -
I think you were greeted with snotty responses because yours came off that way a bit. Just read what you type, is all. /I/ understand that you're saying there are better options, but I /also/ understand that sometimes you just need to have something you like. It's about balance. So calm down-- no one's trying to attack you.

No prob! We all need a laugh once in awhile! I actually just giggled at it again, because I was picturing myself doing just that as I was typing it. LOL!
On a side note, I am now OFFICIALLY craving Ramen!! Dang it! Love that horrible stuff! It's true.....0 -
Going along with this - sometimes the store has low sodium ramen packets. If I see it, then I grab a few, even if i'm not craving it at the time. Look for these! At least then you (kind of) fix the sodium issue!
Regarding the other person that said her bf adds eggs - this is how you do egg drop soup, so i'm sure the egg is awesome in it!
(and ps i'm on a low carb diet, thanks for making me crave ramen!!! lol)0 -
This bad boy was one of my post-workout meals last summer. I named this Championship Ramen Bowl: egg (which I boil with the ramen noodles and then slash it happily to watch the lovely yolk ooze out), mixed veggies, diced chicken, fried onion and a very healthy dollop of Sriracha.
Slurp obnoxiously with every bite to fully enjoy the awesome.
Will be making this SOON!0 -
a fried egg and spam meat is a good combo but not so healthy! lol.. i usually add some veggies and crack an egg in the water, it becomes a poach egg!0

throw out the seasoning packet. boil the noodles with uncut grape tomatoes and black pepper. drain the noodles and toss with your favorite vinaigrette (vidallia onion or basalmic is my fav) top with crumbled feta cheese
edit: forgot to include what to do with seasoning packet.0 -
There's this book that a friend gave me for my birthday one year, knowing about my noodle obsession. Its called Ramen to the Rescue. You should pick it up! Has over 100 different ways to use packaged ramen noodles!0

Scrambled eggs, peas, shredded carrots, hot sauce....... the sky is the limit. my boyfried boils it and while its boiling he just drops an egg in it and starts to stirring. apparently he says its good......
I do this! It's SOOOO good!!!0 -

HOLY NOODLES LOL! I think you've mis-posted, please see randomtai on page 1....and SneakyWaff1es on page 2. I fail to see how posting some info WITH A SMILE is considered rude (but...I am 47, seasoned & calm for sure.... & you are twentysomthn', so MILES of years between us) however, this is the land of free speech for all. FYI: I have to read what I type, don't you??? A big thank you to all of the MFP members messaging me, your POSITIVE support is priceless!!!0 -

Brilliant!!no really bad for ya I had some last night it made me gain weight that is why I don't eat it anymore I was just craving it, tons of sodium use wheat noodles its suppose to be better for ya0 -
I used to have them lots of nights when i was in college. I'd cook them with the seasoning, then drain after cooking. It was always too salty for me. Sounds like there's a lot of good suggestions here. Sorry, I don't really have any new recipes to add.
I did find noodles, I think China Bowl is the brand. They're just like the curly Ramen noodles, and cook in 3 minutes, but they're not fried. Look in the chinese section of the grocery store. Just a suggestion if you like those noodles and aren't using the seasoning.0 -
i usually cook the ramen in the microwave and cook some frozen veggies up:3 i like to use the stir fry mixes theyre awesome. while the veggies are cooking i use a bit of the flavor packet (always oriental) and then mix it up with the ramen after its cooked. i'm a vegetarian so no meat in my stir fry!0

*eyeroll* Always one in every thread.0 -
Kimchi, mushrooms, can of spicy tuna and poach an egg in it at the end!!!
You can add a bit of the spice packet but the kimchi and spicy tuna will flavor the broth
p.s. best ramen to use for this is Shin Ramyun from the international foods aisle0 -

If you posted a title that said "Favorite Potato Recipes!?" and someone said "Don't use potatoes, use [insert vegetable here] because its better for you" don't you think it comes off as just a tad snooty? Smiley face or not
Either way if someone disagrees with you doesn't mean they HATE you and think you are wrong. I'm pretty sure everyone knows ramen is unhealthy. A craving is a craving.0 -

Huh?0 -
I usually do beef ramen with sirachi sauce and I've tried the egg before in the chicken ramen with steamed veggies and wontons! It's to die for 0

If you're just seriously craving ramen, do it, once in a while is okay! I add things like spring onions, bok choy, spinach, mushroom and even some sliced lean meat or seafood. If you just feel like something like it, and not the actual thing, I prefer to make my own broth and use something a little better in the noodle department; rice vermicelli, fresh egg noodle, whatever you prefer. A little stock, some chilli (powder, sauce, whatever you have on hand) maybe a dash of soy works well enough for the soup.0

Oh man ramen noodles are my DOWNFALL. I was eating these ALOT here before I decided to lose weight again., I boil mine, drain the noodles, then fry them in the pan a little then add sausage (like smoked sausage) cheese, hotsauce, ranch, and crush up potato chips on them. HAHA sounds gross, but this is what they make in jail (I used to be a CO in a state prison and learned this there) They are called Breaks. They sure are good. You can use tuna, pickles, whatever you got. SOSO bad for you, but if I ever reach my goal weight Ill be eating one.0

holy smokes! I do now too lol. My hubby has hypertension (so we avoid ramen like the plague) but once in a blue moon I'll eat some. I think I may be making my own from scratch from now on lol.0
