Quick Ramen - Steam Pork
Despite the delicious taste of instant noodles, many of us would like to control our calorie intake and limit instant noodles to an occasional treat. Is there any ramen that is healthier, yet still tastes great and is just as easy to make? We searched the Asian markets and found the solution: two great alternatives to instant ramen noodles.
Our first solution is to use Fast Cooking Ramen noodles. The good part is that they are healthy (made also with whole wheat, for added on fibers, you can see the brownish wheat), taste great, easy and quick to make. The only catch is : you still have to cook them, even if it is only for 3 minutes.

The other solution is to eat Instant Rice Noodle, which will be another day’s topic.
Fast cooking noodles are very much like instant ramen noodles, but they have a lower fat content: they are not fried, but pre-steamed.
After searching and tasting many brands, we found several great . One of them stand out above the rest in both its taste and in that it even comes with a ready-to-use sauce packet - just like instant ramen. These are . They are much healthier than traditional instant noodles: the noodle itself is not fried and is fat free. They are Genetic Modified Organism (GMO) Free and there are no preservatives added. The only fat is in the sauce packet: only 2 grams and you don’t even have to use it all! What’s more, there is no hydrogenated oil, and there is no trans fat.
There are 4 blocks (1 serving each) of ramen noodles per bag and there are 4 sauce packets for Chinese Style Stewed Pork with meat and 4 dried seasoned veggies packets.

You can cook the noodles in two styles: Noodles and soup or Pan Fried style (Yaki Soba) Dried Noodle.
Fast Cooking Instruction and Recipe for Ramen Noodle and Soup:
(1) Add 4 bowls of water into a pan and boil it
(2) Add 1 block of noodles into boiling water, cook 2 minutes
(3) Add some vegetables (like Chinese green leaf, bok choy, or fresh spinach) and/or precooked meat, continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes
(4) Take out noodles and place on a plate, add 2/3 of sauce packet and mix into noodle
(5) Add the remaining 1/3 of sauce packet and veggies packet into soup
Now you have 1 plate of noodles and 1 bowl of veggie soup!
In the photo on the right, I used less than 1/3 of the sauce in the packet to meet my own taste. Most people might use 1/2 ~ 2/3 of the package, but I think very few people will use up whole sauce packets.
Fast Cooking for Chinese Style Noodle Soup:
To enjoy a bowl of noodle soup, simply add sauce and dried veggies into a pot with a serving of noodles, and stir well.
To add more variety, add more vegetables, fish cakes, precooked eggs, and top with some strips of seasoned seaweed.

Pan Fried Noodle Style
Take out noodle into a bowl, empty sauce and veggies into the bowl, and mix well.
To make it healthier, add some green vegetables, broccoli, etc. during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
I found that there is actually a lot of sauce, so start with less and adjust the amount to your taste.
What is the final taste? Taste just like your regular Instant Ramen Noodle, but with a peace of mind — it is so much more healthier!
