What it is

Cooked ramen noodles are a type of instant noodle dish made from wheat flour, water, salt, and often a kansui (an alkaline mineral water). They are typically pre-cooked by steaming or boiling and then dried or packaged with a seasoning packet. Ramen noodles have a chewy texture and are a staple in Japanese cuisine.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use cooked ramen noodles as a convenient and versatile base for quick meals. They are commonly found in instant noodle bowls, soups, and stir-fries. Their quick preparation time and satisfying texture make them popular in ready-to-eat meals and frozen entrees.

Health notes

Cooked ramen noodles are primarily a source of carbohydrates. The FDA considers wheat a major allergen. While generally recognized as safe (GRAS) as a food ingredient, the high sodium content in many instant ramen seasoning packets can be a concern for individuals monitoring their sodium intake. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various food additives used in ramen products, but not the noodles themselves.

Allergen info

Cooked ramen noodles are made from wheat, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. They also contain gluten. Not a major allergen unless wheat is present.
