How often should you eat instant noodles?
You can enjoy instant noodles every day if you wish! When it comes to noodles, not considering the prepared instant noodle cups, instant noodles provide carbohydrates and, when consumed within a balanced diet rich in protein, fiber, and healthy fats, they offer a great energy source.
Can you lose weight eating cup noodles?
Yes! When consumed as part of a calorie-controlled diet that results in a calorie deficit, instant noodles can be part of a healthy diet that supports weight loss.
Best Containers for Instant Noodle Cups
Containers play a crucial role in DIY instant noodle cups, as they serve as both storage and consumption vessels. While many people use mason jars, I recommend round glass containers or glass meal prep bowls because they are heat-resistant and won’t crack or break when boiling water is added. If using mason jars, ensure they are at room temperature before adding hot water to prevent thermal shock and potential cracking.
Storage + Reheating
To Store: Keep the prepared instant noodle cups in the fridge without water for up to 4 days.
To Freeze: **Do NOT** freeze the uncooked instant noodle cups. If you wish to freeze them, add boiling water, allow the noodles to cook, let them cool entirely, and then store the prepared soup in the freezer in an airtight container (but **not** mason jars) for up to 3 months.
