Dig the texture of instant ramen noodles, but not the 17 grams of fat and 1,800 mg sodium? The instant noodles have an ingredient that, when eaten too often and built up in your tummy, will slow your digestion down to a crawl. A healthy alternative is chuka soba curly noodles. Only three minutes to cook and much better nutritionally than instant ramen. Sure, it’s 20-30 times more expensive than the instant but that’s just $2 to $3 a package. http://kame.com/japanese-curly-noodles/ I love the instant ramen noodle texture and bite but when I discovered they were pre-fried and almost plastic coated, I really dig having a healthy alternative. Once a couple of years ago, I had instant ramen for lunch and also for dinner the same day. I never used the spice packet, I always added my own sauce and spices. It was very slow to digest and felt very heavy moving through my system. I researched why and now am glad there’s a healthy alternative.
