    It's not bad if you drain it and serve it with pesto sauce.
    But then....ANYthing is good with pesto on it!

    I *like* ramen, but I get the stuff from the Asia markets that has all sorts of goodies in it, not the stuff from the grocery store. But I like that too (with lots of veggies added).

    I'm a cheap date.

    Instant ramen has 30% rda saturated fat in one serving! (and 1/2 your sodium...) Fresh ramen on the other hand is tasty (and not deep fried) I love living in a city with a large asian population. Lots of yummy things are available here. There's even a real ramen shop, tiny and run by Japanese people.

    You can get baked ramen at the asia markets - yummy, and very low fat. We try to get the kinds that are 300 calories or less per package. The sodium, on the other hand, I just live with There's even instant pho.

    Yeah - as a cyclist I don't worry too much about getting too much sodium.... its often more like enough. I've seen the instant Pho too, never really looked at the instant Ramens though - why by dried when you can get fresh (OK - they are a bit more expensive..), and the noodle section has all kinds of fresh noodles. Even wide rice noodles for Thai food (if they weren't such a pain to handle I'd eat them all of the time mmmmmmmm). I love Uwajimaya... not to mention Pho shops are about as common as Starbucks around here - but I'm not complaining!

    You're making me jealous! Reason # 2 million, 3 hundred and 54 I want to move to the Pacific Northwest

    Seriously - fresh Ramen! What a concept!!

    The pho isn't great - but it's OK if you doctor it with the usual additions (hot sauce, etc). And it's really calorie cheap (usually what I'm worried about more than sodium).

    mmmmmmmm, rice stick.

    I haven't figured out how to keep it from turning into rice-stick-together either, but it sure is good.
