    You are absolutely right. They are a great crunchy snack.

    But they are not raw. The noodles are pre-fried. That’s why they are ready so quickly and also what makes them quite unhealthy.

        How much are in the noodles vs the packet though? I have always used half or less of the flavor packet because it’s so salty tasting (and also I assumed it would reduce the sodium content too.

          Yeah. High fat content in the noodles, high sodium in the spice packets.

          Fat and sodium are 10-20% higher than when you buy the plain noodles.
