Tips for processing instant noodles so they are healthier to consume.
Even though instant noodles are known as a convenient fast food, there are several ways to make them healthier. Here are nine tips for processing instant noodles so that they are healthier to consume.
1. Add fresh vegetables.
Adding fresh vegetables such as carrots, broccoli, spinach or peas to instant noodles can increase the fiber, vitamin and mineral content in your food. Fresh vegetables also provide better texture and taste.
2. Use additional protein.
Add a protein source such as boiled eggs, chicken pieces, tofu or shrimp to the instant noodles. Protein helps you feel full longer and adds to the nutritional value of instant noodles.
3. Reduce packaged spices.
Instant noodle seasoning usually contains a lot of salt and MSG. Use only some of the packaged spices or replace them with natural spices such as garlic, ginger, chili, or low-salt soy sauce to control sodium intake.
4. Boil and rinse the noodles.
After the noodles are cooked, drain and rinse with hot water to reduce the fat and salt content that may be in the layers of instant noodles.
5. Choose a healthier noodle variant.
Choose instant noodles made from healthier ingredients, such as whole wheat noodles or noodles that contain higher fiber. Some brands offer noodles that are baked, rather than fried, which contain less fat.
6. Reduce added oil.
Avoid adding additional oil to instant noodles. If the condiment packet contains oil, use only some or replace it with a small amount of a healthy oil such as olive oil.
7. Add the fermented ingredients.
Add a little kimchi, miso, or other fermented vegetables to provide rich flavor and probiotic benefits for your digestion.
8. Pay attention to portions.
It's best not to consume large portions of instant noodles. Add more vegetables and protein to make the dish more balanced and prevent you from eating too many noodles.
9. Use homemade stock.
Instead of using seasoning packets, try making your own stock by simmering chicken bones, vegetables, and spices. Homemade broth is healthier and free of unwanted additives.
