Seafood Raminara
With these ramen noodles recipes, you can throw away the “flavor” packetthat comes in the package. Unless, of course, you enjoy a strongdose of salt, monosodium glutamate, sugar, hydrolyzed this and that, andwhatever the heck disodium inosinate and disodium guanylate are.
Wiggle some ramen noodles into your backpacking menuwithout subjecting your body to a chemistry experiment.
For the Cheese-O-Rama recipe, use cheddar cheese powder and milk powder and your ramen noodles will go down swimmingly.
Use ½cube of vegetable bouillon in the Bean & Veggie Ramen Noodles recipe. Organic Gourmet™ brand vegetable bouillon islow in sodium and has no MSG or mystery chemicals.
