The Noodles in Ramen?

This is going to be an eye opener.. but, Ramen Noodles are FRIED before they are packaged and we boil them!

So, basically they are an eggless flour noodle, that has been lightly fried in a vegetable oil, then formed into the 'cubes', packaged and sold.

To make your own, use any eggless recipe you like, form into thin long noodles, and then you'd have to flash fry them, form the shape you want to keep them in from the square to a bird's nest.. dry them and then.. you'll have your own.

Truthfully.. it is so much cheaper and easier to buy them and use them as you wish after that.

Here is an excerpt from an article on how they are made etc..

"Ramen noodles unfortunately are not very good for you. Each package contains about 1560 mg of sodium. To remove the water and form them into blocks, they are deep fried in palm oil which is about the most saturated fat there is. Look in your local Asian food store, though, and you may find some that are baked or freeze dried without the oil. Check the ingredients--about 720 different varieties/flavors of ramen are available. For what it's worth, the average Japanese eats about 45 packages a year and, other than sumo wrestlers, ain't too many of them chubby."

I understand your desire and hopes to cook all things from scratch.. so, go ahead and try it!

Ramen noodles are way better I dont even like the cup ones.
