Deliciously without harming blood sugar! Super simple ramen recipe

I am a diabetic patient in my 30s. During the week, I have a lot of work, so I often eat hastily or sometimes skip meals.

Sometimes I feel like it would be perfect to cook and eat ramen.

Is it okay to settle the meal with ramen?

Q. I want to know how to enjoy eating ramen healthily and deliciously.

A. Use less soup and serve with vegetables.

Ramen is actually not recommended for patients with diabetes.

Because it is a processed food full of ingredients that cause blood sugar to rise, such as starch (polysaccharides), palm oil (saturated fat), and salt (sodium).

Since the nutritional composition is uneven, it can cause blood sugar levels to become unstable.

However, there are times when you must eat, and it is not always the best to completely suppress what you want to eat.

Here's how diabetic patients can eat ramen healthily.

First, choose the 'Geonmyeon' product. 

There are several products that use naturally dried noodles without frying in oil.

It has relatively lower calories and fat content compared to fried noodles.

🔷 If purchasing dried noodles is difficult, choose regular products and use two pots. Cook the noodles in boiling water in one pot, then remove them. In the other boiling water pot, add the soup and continue cooking. This process involves boiling the noodles once to remove palm oil.

The next thing to pay attention to is reducing sodium.

The average sodium content per package of ramen is 1693mg, which is nearly equal to the recommended daily sodium intake of 2000mg.

One way to reduce sodium intake is to add about one-third less soup.

You don't like it becoming bland, do you?

🔷 Using less water can help maintain the flavor.

Adding lettuce salad or similar side dishes instead of kimchi when eating ramen can also greatly help reduce sodium intake.

To maintain a balanced nutrition, add toppings such as soft tofu, eggs, bean sprouts, and cabbage to your ramen.

It not only supplements the protein and fiber lacking in ramen, but also,

The potassium-rich vegetables also help eliminate sodium from the body.

No matter how healthily I eat, la

Noodles are processed foods.

It would be best to avoid excessive intake!
