    Any sushi fans here?

    Souped up Ramen Noodles - what do YOU add to make a whole meal (merged)

    It's without a doubt that instant noodles is not going to make it to the top 10 list of the most healthy, wholesome foods! In many parts of Asia (where instant noodles originated from), the use of MSG as a flavor enhancer is common especially in take out foods and in most Chinese cuisine...
