I bought a bag of these at Aldi's awhile back. I keep forgetting about them.You can buy plain fast-cooking ramen noodles in a multi-pack, without the seasoning. I haven't used them for awhile, but they're good. I stir-fry chicken and different veggies, and put them on top of the noodles which I add a stir-fry sauce to.

I don't recall this but you can call it a glorified crack slaw, LOL.Back in the 90s I used to make a salad that included dry ramen noodles. Something similar to this:

Does anyone else remember when those were popular?

Actually I agree with you. It might be tasty to some but it’s more of less cheap filler food.Ramen noodles were created as a substitute for rice in meals. Rice took too long to cook, and with more oriental women entering the work force, a faster meal plan was needed. Voila, the ramen noodle was created. Not healthy, and not really tasty. Have you viewed the video of ramen noodles in the digestive tract? For being instant cooking noodles, they are not digested well. I spent a year in the orient.... tried all kinds of ramen.... could never take a liking to them. I'm really glad not that I didn't put that many ramen noodles into my system.
Ramen noodles are a form of pasta. Flour, salt, water and perhaps a bit of oil. Nothing unusual. Should be easily indigestible for most people who don't have gluten allergies.Ramen noodles were created as a substitute for rice in meals.

Ramen Noodles is the breakfast of college kids.
If anyone is an expert on Kraft Dinner it is me. I love pasta but Ramen noodles I never liked. It would easier to boil some vermicelli and put it in the fridge for a quick snack. It will keep for days.Faster than Kraft Dinner.
Are those on the shelf or are they refrigerated? That sounds really good.You can buy plain fast-cooking ramen noodles in a multi-pack, without the seasoning.

@Ellen Marie, you must be familiar with soba noodles. I hear they are made from buckwheat which would be better for diabetics as the carbs are complex. How do those taste?
Thanks for all your info, @Ellen Marie.I don't eat many noodles, or much bread or potatoes.
They're dry and on the shelf, Marci.Are those on the shelf or are they refrigerated? That sounds really good.
I did watch a video. Instant noodles just take longer to break down than fresh made. It wasn't considered bad, so they said. I always thought they were a form of pasta too. Pure simple carbs, not good for diabetics.
This is where I get confused. It has something to do with the body's insulin output. Simple carbs turn to sugar too quickly. Complex (usually having fiber) takes longer to turn to sugar.... this was my understanding....I guess you're saying the same thing.Aren't we're waved off from simple carbs and sugars because they go through the digestive system too rapidly?
