how to eat ramen healthy

Korean ramens are getting more popular these days.
The popularity of ramen, also known as instant noodles or oodles of noodles, is picking up in the United States with Korean companies taking up the competitive flag against Japanese producers.
The main attraction is that America is a multi-racial and multi-cultural society and Korean and Japanese producers of the “snack” are increasing their competition with the Japanese having established the early edge.
The interesting part of this equation is that more and more Americans are taking on to the spicy taste of Korean ramen with those of Japan being much more milder in taste.

The expansion of the production facility follows the popularity of an advertisement by Psy of the “Gangnam Style” fame for Shin Ramen Black whose demand has been increasing at a rapid pace.
The sales of the product reached $15 million last year and is expected to rise further to $18 million this year. Similarly, demand for products from leading companies like Ottugi and Paldo has been increasing and these companies are expanding the range of products in the U.S. market, regardless of how spicy they are.

Who doesn’t have a craving for a junk food favorite? I remember living on Ramen Noodles. It was quick, easy to make, and filling but unfortunately not very healthy.
While ramen noodles aren't unhealthy per se, they aren't packed full of vitamins either. But if you're a fan of these cheap, tasty noodles, there are ways to make the meal more balanced.
How to make Ramen Noodles healthier:
1. Replace water with 2 cups of Organic Chicken broth (already flavored with sodium)
2. Add 1/2 teaspoon of fresh minced garlic
3. Add a dash of pepper
4. cut up a few slices of onions
5. Add some chopped Cilantro
6. Throw in whatever vegetables you have left over in your fridge (red & yellow peppers seen in photo)
7. Either crack an egg (stir with fork) or add sliced chicken or wild shrimp (source of protein)

Enjoy occasional healthier Ramen Noodles without worrying about all the sodium and dangerous side effects of MSG.
