On A Budget? 5 Ways to Eat Ramen for Dinner

ramen noodles are make out of carbon, and seasoning is salty it is junk, try steam rice and fish that you can catch in the ocean.

I LIKE THE RAMEN NOODLES, ITS A FILLING MEAL, AND YOU CAN ALWAYS MAKE AN CHANGE OF PACE, AND THE COST IS RIGHT IN MY BALL PARK, THANK YOU T, R. SAL FAZZINA

Gee, I eat Ramen Noodles quite often and hmmmm : Cholesteral levels, great... blood pressure: great, migraines from MSG: NOPE!, I'm as healthy as a horse...
Some people just obsess wayyyyy too much. Again, I say : IF you are one of the unfortunate ones who has a serious medical issue, I understand and sympathize with your concerns....But it sounds to me as if there are many more people commenting that are either hypochondriacs OR they are food-snobs who have never had to stretch their food-dollars in their lives!

I love ramen so this is perfect.Go ramen!

I found the greatest little recipe booklet yesterday, it is one of those pilbooks that are at the checkouts in grocery stores and so forth. It is recipes that the main ingrediant are all ramen noodles. Theres everything from dips to desserts. Most of them discard the seasoning package so this might be something for those that don't like the salt or certain flavors.

Way too much sodium, high blood pressure. HELLO!

Actually I think these recipes are great. Lets all keep in mind that they are quick inexpensive meals. In other words if you had more that a buck in your pocket than you would more than likely go to McDonalds and shop on the $ menur :-)

All very good, tasty and appealing to the eye, but what about the high sodium levels those cheap little packages hide? Was this article written by a foodie or registered dietician?

I'm concerned about the sodium content of the flavor packets. Does anyone know a recipe for the combination of yummy flavors that is comparable to the packets? thanks!!!!

The ramen seasoning has so much msg and salt, I wish you could buy the noodles in a big bag like pasta. I make ramen for my kid with chicken soup base ginger, turmeric, garlic salt a tiny dash of lemon and soy sauce. Tastes like the real thing! Some of these sound good though.

Wow, so many food snobs commenting on this story... You know, the ones saying the most critical things about Ramen Noodles (criticizing the nutrition, etc) are probably the ones who have never had to do without in their pampered little lives! Although I certainly understand the concerns of those who truly do suffer from celiac disease...

I have fed my family many a night with ramen noodles and veggies. Always an option when the $ is tight!

That Veggie Ramen looks really good. I think Im going to try it, but with maybe just half the seasong packet. Gotta love those noodles!

ever look at the amount of sodium this crud has...not healthy at all!

For recipes that do not use the seasoning packets, why say "Add packet of Pork Ramen" when any PACKAGE of Ramen will work? Just saying "a packet of Pork Ramen" means the seasoning PACKET, not the noodles.

I can not eat any soy products. This sounds fine.

...we ask these favors in the holy name of the FSM, and we all say Ramen!

I boil Ramen noodles with 1/2 of the seasoning packet, half way through I will add leftover meat from the fridge. My favorite is steak from the night before cut thin, the water heats the meat to a good temp and when it is done cooking I strain the water and add a little bit of shredded cheese. Might not be a healthly dish but it is filling and delish.

I have'nt aten this cheapo stuff in decades.The season pack is ok but not great but for the price and whats going on today...I might give it a try.I always add extra veggies,meat or whatnot to a campbells soup or other canned soup brands.One of my occasional weaknesses.Canned soup crap that usually gives me heartburn for some strange reason.

You can also prepare the ramen noodles as directed & add chicken or whatever when you add the packet and just let it sit for a while.
