#16Something many people don't know about instant noodles: You don't need to cook them. You can just soak them in cold water until they are done. They just take a little longer (15 minutes). This is great for power outages or for homeless people without ability to cook. It also saves energy.

If you do this with dry pasta and then add it to hot sauce to warm it, it tastes a lot better than boiling. Usually takes about 2 hours but it’s worth it.
“But who's to say that these two phases, water absorption and protein denaturing, have to occur at the same time? […] You don't have to complete both processes simultaneously. In fact, if you leave uncooked pasta in lukewarm water for long enough, it'll absorb just as much water as boiled pasta.”

#19i'm very grateful for this guy, but I also probably eat too many instant noodles. is there any research/recommendation on what level of instant noodle consumption starts being unhealthy (ofc everything is a gradient)?
The healthiest way I've ever found to consume instant noodles is as a meal supplement after exercise. Not every time, but once in a while to replenish salt lost from sweat and as a calorie boost.
