Ramen noodle soup is one of the tastiest dishes out there, especially for those who love Japanese food. Unfortunately, as tasty as it is, one of the most common methods for consuming ramen is the unhealthy ready-made store-bought version that comes with its own seasonings. We’re here to say that you don’t need to compromise your health by buying them. Just make it on your own—you’ll be better off for it!

The Less Healthy Ramen

Admit it, picking up those instant ramen packets from the store feels kinda good. They taste amazing, and they’re absurdly easy to prepare, but let’s be real—they’re loaded with some not-so-great chemicals that aren’t doing your health any favors. You can do much better than that, and you really just need to give it a shot to understand what we mean.

A Healthier Route

Indeed, you really need to consider crafting your own ramen from scratch. Grab plain ramen noodles, just the noodles, no fancy extras. Then, get creative with your own broth. Add healthy seasonings, toss in some chicken, meat, or maybe even boiled eggs (which is a classic ramen addition). When you’re done cooking, you’ve made yourself a lip-smacking ramen bowl that’s a heck of a lot healthier than the store-bought version.
