Many of us can't live without "Instant Noodles" especially when one is away
from home,came late and do not want to cook, in a foreign land. Here is a piece of information to share so
that we can remove the potential health hazard of consuming Instant Noodles like Maggi.
DO NOT IGNORE THIS ... Especially those fond of Maggi...
INCORRECT WAY OF COOKING NOODLES'
Normally, how we cook the instant noodles is to put the noodles into a
pot with water, throw in the powder and let it cook for around 3 minutes
and then it's ready to eat.
This is the WRONG method of cooking the instant noodles.
By doing this, when we actually boil the ingredients in the
powder,normally with MSG, it will change the molecular structure of the
MSG, causing it to be toxic.
The other thing that you may or
may not realize is that, the noodles are coated with wax and it will
take around 4 to 5 days for the body to excrete the wax after you have
eaten the noodles.
CORRECT METHOD:
1. Boil the noodles in a pot of water.
2. Once the noodles are cooked, take out the noodles, and throw away the water which contains wax.
3. Boil another pot of water, add the cooked noodles into the hot boiling water and then turn off the stove.
4. Only at this stage when the stove is off, and while the water is
very hot, add the flavouring powder into the water, to make noodle soup.
5. However, if you need dry noodles, remove the noodles and add the flavouring powder and toss it to get dry noodles.
Dietician's Note:
If you buy plain hakka noodles which you make, you initially need to
boil in water and discard the water. This will soften the noodles but to
prevent it from sticking we need to add a tbsp of oil and also the
noodles are deep fried partially to make them crunchy and then dusted
with flour to prevent them from sticking while boiling. Hence when you
buy the noodles they are already made unhealthy and this is the type we
use to make stir fry noodles and the regular Maggie too is made the same
way, plus they add MSG / Ajinomoto and other chemical preservatives.
A large number of patients with ages ranging from 18-24 years are ending
up with pancreatitis either as a swelling or infection of the pancreas
due to regular consumption of instant noodles... If the frequency is
more than 3 times a week, then it is very hazardous...
Please share this info and help others to lead a healthy life .....
