Ramen noodles are not only the healthiest foods once the sodium packets are dicarded the loads of carbohydrates gives you plenty of energy and for pennies a meal Here is the healthy way to cook ramen noodles without using the menacing sodium packets and literally spend only pennies for a meal. Most cash needy college students are aware of the sound reasoning for cooking noodles instead of goint to a fast food restaurant, for an example.
Ramen Noodles or Marchen Noodles are found at most supermarkets and discount stores for less than a quarter a package complete with the seasoning packet providing a meal literally for pennies a serving. One serving of Ramen Noodles or Marchen Noodles provide less than two hundred calorie a serving but the packet of seasong is the culprit that packs the sodium. Try substituting ketchup or tomato hamburger seasonin such as a can of Sloppy Joes or a can of Manwich to reduce the sodium intake that comes with the inexpensive meal that only costs pennies or a dollar.
Step One: Fill a small pot of water to about 2./3 from the top of the sauce pan with cold water. Bring the water to a boil. The water is boiling when large bubbles overlaps to a boil. Steam alone means that the water is about to boil in preparation for the Ramen noodles but do not add the noodles until the water is actually bubbling.
Step Two: Open a package of Ramen Noodles in a flavor of your choice. The flavors of the packaged noodles varies from Shrmp, to Chicken and to Beef Flavors as well as cream sauce flavors. These noodles are sold in micro waveable cups as well but do not buy them that way because of the expense and the added sodium that can not be controlled as the packaged noodles. Ramen Noodles comes flavored with chicken, beef, or shrimp packets that can be used sparingly or substituted with the aforementioned canned tomato products. The cost is economical about pennies a meal and you save money because the price i cheaper if you shop one of the big box stores like Costco.
Step Three: Break the hardened noodles into half for ease in eating after cooking. Place the noodles in the boiling water for about 4 to 5 minutes or as directed on the package. Temperatures vary because of the differences in electrical cooking appliances. The noodles are cooked when it has lost its hardness and is not thin and stringy looking or still stuck together.
Step Four: After using a fork to stir and loosen up the noodles, leave the packets out of the recipe if possible and used the substitute flavors. The flavor packets hold the sodium that is not good for you ad can be substituted in the noodles meal which is only pennies a serving and less than 200 calories. You have just made yourself a healthy bowl of Ramen noodles and had dinner for under one dollar a serving costing only pennies a meal.

Boiling water is ALWAYS the same temperature, regardless of the heat source. Boiling water is boiling water (212F or 100C). It might boil faster but the temperature and cooking speed is the same no matter how hot the flame is. Boiling water will vary by ALTITUDE (Denver’s boiling water is not as hot as NYC boiling water). Science!
