The nearest “Asian grocery store” that I am aware of is 45 miles away… not practical for routine shopping I’m afraid. But thank you for the suggestion anyway.

I’m looking at a package labeled “Myojo Chukazanmai” made by Myojo Foods Co. This one is the miso flavor, and it lists 410 calories, 80 of which are from fat. 9g total fat, 2.5g of which is saturated. 3160mg of sodium (listed as 130% of RDA), 71g carbs, 3g fiber, 10g protein. It also lists 2% RDA of Vitamin A, and 4% RDA of Calcium. One 3.84 oz package is listed as one serving - prepared with 2 1/2 cups of water. This stuff is worth the $2, and the relative quality of the noodles is obvious. I can’t go back to $0.25 ramen, despite the sodium.

I agree, Moyjo Chukazanmai is one of the best packaged ramen brands I’ve had. Although I like the soy sauce flavored version. Definitely worth the $1.50 per pack or so it costs where I’m at.

I figure if you add veggies and some form of meat/protein, you can have a complete meal. Just remember to cut down on sodium elsewhere in your weekly diet to negate the extra you will be eating from ramen
