If you’re a foodie who’s obsessed with Japanese food, chances are that you’ve stumbled upon ramen noodles at some point. They’re a real treat, but sometimes the store-bought ones aren’t the healthiest. If you’re someone who eats the store-bought version a lot, we’ve got your back with another suggestion. You should consider making your ramen noodles at home, and here’s why.

The Not-So-Healthy Store Version

Buying those ready-made ramen packs at the store is a lot easier to do than making it yourself—we get it. They taste awesome, no doubt, but here’s the thing—they’ve got some processed stuff that’s not great for your health. Ultimately, your health is the most important thing, but you don’t have to give up ramen noodles to achieve it.

A Better Option

So why not make your own ramen instead? Grab plain ramen noodles—just the noodles, nothing else funky. Then, whip up your own broth. Add your choice of healthy seasonings, throw in some chicken, meat, or maybe even hard-boiled eggs (which are a classic ramen addition). Once you’re done, you’re pretty much good to go. You’ve got yourself a delicious, steamy ramen noodle bowl that’s way healthier than the store-bought ones.
