Well all know college is expensive. Between tuition, textbooks, rent, transportation, and general leisure, there's not much money left over for the most important neccessity of all: food. Which is why Ramen Noodles is a saviour among college students. It's delicious, it's filling (for the most part), and extremely inexpensive (a 6 pack costs a dollar and some change at your local jewel). Unfortunately, Ramen Noodles also lacks any type of nutrional value and is PACKED with sodium. One serving size (half a block with a packet of seasoning) is equal to 35% of your daily sodium intake. For those who don't know, sodium=BAD. But, never fear scholars, there is a way to keep eating your beloved noodles AND stay healthy.
- Cook noodles according to packet instructions
- Once the noodles are cooked-DRAIN THE WATER. You don't have to drain all of it, but you should drain most. You can use a fork as a barrier so your noodles don't fall out.
- After draining, add half a packet of seasoning and mix thoroughly. Most of the salt is in the seasoning, which is why you should only use half (don't worry, it'll be enough) Make sure you distribute the seasoning evenly or else some of your strands will be extra salty.
Now. even after doing this, ramen noodles still aren't best thing to eat on a regular basis. But, if you have no choice but to live off it (like myself), at least you won't be completely ruining your health.
