That's where the majority of the sodium is located. The bloggers have it right; a well stocked seasoning pantry allows ya to use the noodles as a blank canvas:).

Yeah, but the flavor packs are what makes it good....From a source online about the noodles without the seasoning pack....Remember that a block is considered 2 servings when looking at the numbers below. I've never just ate half a block....lolCalories One package of plain ramen noodles contains two servings. Each serving contains close to 190 calories. There are slight variations among the many brands of ramen noodles. A serving also has 7 gram of fat. Nutrition There are 29g of carbohydrates in each serving of noodles. Only 1 gram is dietary fiber. The iron content provides 6 to 8 percent of your recommended daily intake, depending on the brand. Each serving contains 500 milligrams of sodium. The Institute of Medicine recommends that adults consume less than 2,300 milligrams of sodium a day.

I love Ramen noodles, if you throw the packet away why not just buy some other noodle. That's were all the goodies are. Mind you I can't eat them often, but they must have the packet.

wbwood, I was at K-16 AB, just south of Seoul. I miss the kimchee and bulgogi.

Me too....we have a korean restaurant here in the Charlotte area that has it...they also have the yakimandoo. The only thing is that its about an hour from us and expensive. Never leave out of there under $70 for the 3 of us...lol

We've been over to a korean families house several years ago for dinner and it felt like beign back in korea. They are no longer around. :(

Made numerous trips up to Osan and Kunsan while in korea...really do miss it.

Not everyone is saddled with sodium restrictions. They are probably my favorite stir fry noodle. Their shape makes them embed in the mix real well.

Check out Gourmet Ramen. They have some really good recipes using ramen noodles.

Boil a couple of chicken breasts with onion, garlic. Save broth and dice chicken into 1" or smaller pieces. Combine meat, broth, add sliced carrots and diced celery. Bring to boil and add 1 pkg. of Ramen noodles for every 2 cups liquid. Add seasoning of your choice (or only part of seasoning packet)and cook until noodles are done. Makes decent soup in a pinch.

Chicken and ramen soup: makes me want cooler weather to arrive. A dash of ginger and serve it up with a splash of 100% sesame oil would make an outstanding oriental soup.

Ramen noodles are fried and loaded with fat calories. They also have a lot of sodium in the noodle; throwing away the packet doesn't help much.
I used to eat them when I was young and stupid but not anymore.

No problem. Used to work in NYC hotels and the daily rate kinda freaked me out. I can make it to all the aforementioned locales for less than 5 bucks. Makes me spoiled;).

Actually if you read what I wrote before complaining that someone else didn't read (which this one did)...the noodles itself have about half of your recommended daily sodium intake...

We read it. And clearly reading the article would help you find the way to deal with that issue.

If you like ramen, try some of the other dried noodles from an Asian food store. One of the best dry noodle soups I had was in Korea. An old lady near the base I was stationed at had a small kitchen in her garage and she cooked everything from scratch. She would add cheese to the top of the noodles and a poached egg for flavor too....good stuff!

What base were you at? I was stationed at Kwang Ju AB....miss korean food....

Missing Korean food?
Make a visit to NYC. You can stay in Manhattan and eat your way through the early 40's or hop a train, and for less money/more ethnicity, visit various parts of Queens.

That's not true korean food....and is very expensive korean food..

I'm guessing you're alluding to the high rent Manhattan restaurants and not the Flushing and....Elmhurst(?)( my passport isn't stamped fer Queens; in town joke) spots that primarily cater to a native Korean audience. Right over the GWB there are several places that are supported by the local ethnic comunity as well. For my money still good eats available in Mdtown too but different atmosphere.
