4. Switch the Noodles
You can swap the instant noodles for:
Rice noodles
Whole wheat noodles
Shirataki noodles
Soba noodles
Use the original ramen seasoning (in moderation) for the flavor you love.
5. Make a Simple Homemade Ramen Broth
Simmer:
Garlic
Ginger
Soy sauce
Sesame oil
Chicken or veggie broth
This transforms ramen into a healthier, filling dish.
6. Choose Air-Dried Ramen
Brands now offer air-dried (not fried) instant noodles. They contain:
Less fat
Fewer preservatives
Cleaner ingredients
Final Thoughts
Ramen noodles aren’t “forbidden” — but they’re not a balanced meal on their own. The main health concern is:
Instant ramen is high in sodium, low in nutrients, and contains additives that aren’t ideal for regular consumption.
Enjoy ramen occasionally — and when you do, boost it with real ingredients, real nutrients, and real flavor.
Your body will thank you.
