Noodles: Never eat them raw!

In our race against time, we all try to come up with ways of doing things faster. I always keep some noodies in my house just in case i get home hungry and need to make a quick meal. Yesterday however, I got home and just remembered i had not refilled my cooking gas. It was late and I didn't have enough time to go any restaurant. In my food rack was a few packets of noodles, curries, onions and tomatoes. I made some salad, soaked a packet of noodles, mixed them and ate. The taste was not bad, especially with a glass of passion fruit juice. Feeling satisfied, I went straight to bed... But alas! Around midnight I was woken up by strange pain in my tummy. I soothed it with cold salty water and went back to sleep. In the morning I discovered I had a running stomach. I also feel nausea. I now regret having eaten raw noodles!

oh no, eating raw noodles can indeed cause some stomach trouble. While instant noodles are pre-cooked during manufacturing, they aren't meant to be consumed uncooked or simply soaked

@SIDIKIMPOLE Milk is good, in my experience. What meds did you take?

You could have washed the noodles in real hot warer and they would not have been raw but soft a little to.
