I like it because its very easy and fast to prepare , just keep water to boil and put in the noodles and the spice mix into the boiling water . Great for a evening snack but its not enough for a full meal as the quantity is very less . It pretty cheap though , just 14rupees for 1 packet , or $0.17 cents if you convert it directly Do you make Instant noodles too ?

They are high in fat, carbs, and sodium. Many have MSG in them as well. No, thanks...I can think of other things to eat that are better. I realize this is just my opinion, not trying to start an argument.

It is absolutely amazing the harmful effects they have found MSG has. No one thought about that 20 years ago.

@KityCat Usually I eat it at night, instant noodles contain preservatives so it has to be in portions that are not too big. Veggies also important to control what is in instant noodles.

That sounds like those cheap packets of Ramen noodles everyone tends to buy in college because they are trying to save money. The only problem with Ramen noodles is that the flavor packet that comes with it has way too much salt in it to be healthy. I haven’t bought any in ages, but I understand why other people would.

My daughter likes instant noodles but I don't. I prefer the noodles that have to be boiled for several minutes before they're done. I cook ground beef or ground pork or chicken chunks and add to the noodles and then add tomato sauce to the noodles. My daughter likes the noodles I make too.

@Iam_jauntyjen It can be spaghetti or rotini type pasta. (The rotini type pasta is my favorite, usually with pesto sauce and some cheese sprinkled on top. )

I used to eat it a lot when I was still in my own country. Now I rarely have instant noodles because in Colombia people don't know what instant noodles are.

My daughter loves it. It's not a healthy food so I only let her eat once in a while. She's only eight years old, I want her to practice wise food choices at an early age.
