Ramen noodles do make you poop although they are not a great source of fiber and some people may even get diarrhea or loose stools from eating too many Ramen Noodles.
In people with digestive issues and sensitivities the Ramen noodles can trigger digestive distress.
Ramen noodles are typically flash fried and some are air dried.
The Ramen Noodles are then rehydrated when cooked in hot water.
All ramen noodles are commonly made from wheat flour, water, salt, and kansui, an alkaline mineral.
Kansui gives the Ramen noodles their elasticity and chewiness.
The Kansui also gives ramen it's yellow color.
For this reason, ramen noodles may sometimes be thought to have egg as an ingredient, but they do not.
Although instant ramen is not bad for you, it isn't recommended as a single food daily or multiple times per day on its own due to its high-sodium flavoring packet or broth.
Adding additional toppings, such as protein and vegetables, to the wheat noodle and broth base can increase its nutrition profile.
Noodles and ramen are prepared differently as well.
Noodles are typically boiled in salted water until they are tender, then drained and served with the desired sauce or topping.
On the other hand, Ramen is boiled in water with kansui, which gives the noodles their unique texture and yellow color.
