Do you drink the liquid from an instant ramen soup?

[Maxilian]

Instant noodles are awful food. They contain nothing of value.

But they are cheap and keep your stomach full!

[callipygoustp]

Back in my college days when I used to eat instant Ramen, absolutely. Now, I expect it would be way to salty for my tastes.

[Low Hanging Fruit]

To much sodium. So usually not. Maybe a sip or two if I am still hungry.

10 for a $1! 10 for a $1! when I was a kid. I hear they are about the same price still. Living in a dorm when I was 18/19 I always had some of these in my room. During the cold months I must have averaged, at least, 1 a day.

For an hour. Cheap because they contain nothing and cost nothing to make as a result. The only reason you think they taste good are all the flavor enhancers and salt they fill them with.

Welp, i mean... i may have taken a Mcdonalds instead, but i don't think it would have helped much either :P

At least you'll get veggies with Donald. It's not entirely empty calories.

The ramen bring 1 piece of de-hydrated corn and carrot! WHAT ELSE COULD YOU DESIRE!?

[Aitch]

When I’m Japan eating actual ramen, yes of course.

If you’re talking about the flavoured saline at the bottom of styrofoam cups, no I don’t.

There is Ramen with real soup and then there's instant Ramen with salty water.

No thats heresy.

[PACOX]

I don't make them with enough water to do so.

[Theoris]

The rare times I eat ramen, yes. Haven't tried authentic ramen yet, though.

[Lex Icon]

I put so little water into those things the rare times I eat them that they're mostly just wet noodles with flavor instead of broth with noodles.

this one gets it!.

[exochaft]

Ironically enough, I was just talking with my wife about this. Yes, I do, since I prefer to make my own from scratch... except for the noodles right now, that's on the to-do list. When I did eat instant cup stuff, as others have said, I skimped on the water so everything was absorbed.

[dumathoinn]

Well, I wouldn't say "there no such thing as too much". However as a jogger, having a bit of extra salt in my diet compared to when I was more sedentary is a good thing. #TeamSlurp

Too much of anything is never a good thing. But as a lifter i am the same. Helps retain water better. Better than running a supplement like creatine when sodium does the same thing.

[Boricha]

I haven't eaten one of those instant ramen packets since I was in my early teens, so 9 or 10 years ago, but I do remember liking to drink the broth.

[Forgettable]

I do. But I also haven't eaten instant noodles in years. Unless you count when I added them to a korean recipe.

[Stonecloak]

No, ramen is actually not that bad for you, but the packages of salt it comes with are horrendous.

[oplawlz]

I don't even eat the other crap that's in it. Instant food can bugger off into the nether for all I care. It's a bane on humanity.

Mmm, bane of humanity.

OT: yup, the broth is the best part! but I don't really go for the american-typical grocery store ramen. The imported stuff at the local Asian market has dried veggies and better quality noodles /shrug

[Deleted]

Fresh ramen soup, yes. Because it's soup.

I don't eat the instant junk. That stuff is super unhealthy and kills you with it's enormous amounts of salt.
