Maggie Mee

Everyday, many people cook maggie mee for lunch/dinner/supper.. Is easy and convenient especially for those who are busy or just too tired to cook.. Students will be tempted to cook maggie mee when they are rushing with their assignments and so on..

I used to eat a lot of maggie mee when i was staying alone and busy with assignments after assignments.. Is the easiest thing to eat. Before, I didn't know there was a correct way to cook, i used to just boil the water, put the powder and wait for 3 minutes and is done.. Fast and u still have some food in your stomach.. and then u can go back to your assignments.. But now, i know that there is a correct way to cook, I now follow it.. Am not sure this is a correct way but i guess is better to just follow.. Is a bit more troublesome but it will better in the long run..

I would like to share this with all of you.. Is a good information especially many people still love to eat maggie mee.. But still try to eat less maggie mee ya.. =)


Here is a piece of information to share so that we can remove the potential health hazard of consuming Maggi




Especially for young adults and parents with kids who are lazy to do proper cooking.

Be AWARE!!!

DO NOT IGNORE THIS ... Especially those fond of Maggi...


'
CORRECT WAY OF COOKING NOODLES'
The correct way to cook instant noodles without harming our bodies and health. `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 structures 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 taken the noodles.



CORRECT METHOD:


1. Boil the noodles in a pot with water.

2. Once the noodles is cooked, take out the noodles, and throw away the water which contains wax.

3. Boil another pot of water till boiling and put the noodles into the hot boiling water and then shut the fire.

4. Only at this stage when the fire is off, and while the water is very hot, put the ingredient with the powder into the water, to make noodle soup.

5. However, if you need dry noodles, take out the noodles and add the ingredient with the powder and toss it to get dry noodles.


Dietician's Note:

If you buy plain hakka noodles which you make 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 it crunchy and then dusted with flour to prevent it 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 patient with the 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...
