		<description><![CDATA[So, seems like we've been making instant noodles the "unhealthy" way all these years.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Normally, we cook the instant noodles by putting the noodles into a pot with water, throw in the powder and let it cook for 3 minutes. Allegedly, this is the <em><strong>wrong</strong></em> method of cooking the instant noodles.<br />
<span id="more-123"></span><br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-125" title="maggi-packet" src="http://www.gatenka.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Maggi_Noodle.jpg" alt="maggi-packet" width="150" height="121" /></p>
<p>By doing this, when we actually boil the ingredients in the powder, normally with MSG, it will change the molecular structures of the MSG<br />
causing it to be toxic. The other thing that you may or may not realized 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.</p>
<p>So the <em><strong>correct</strong></em> method, which you may or may not know, is to cook the noodles this way:</p>
<ol> <img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-126" title="instant-noodle-boil" src="http://www.gatenka.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/instant-noodle-boil-300x225.jpg" alt="instant-noodle-boil" width="300" height="225" /></p>
<li style="text-align: center;">Boil the noodles in a pot with water.</li>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-127" title="pot-of-water" src="http://www.gatenka.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/newpotofwater-300x225.jpg" alt="pot-of-water" width="300" height="225" /></p>
<li style="text-align: center;">Once the noodles are cooked, take out the noodles, and throw away the water which contains wax.</li>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-128" title="boiling-water" src="http://www.gatenka.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/boiling-water-300x199.jpg" alt="boiling-water" width="300" height="199" /></p>
<li style="text-align: center;">Boil another pot of water till it&#8217;s boiling and put the noodles into the hot boiling water and shut the fire.</li>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-129" title="maggi-ingredients" src="http://www.gatenka.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/maggi-ingredients-300x191.jpg" alt="maggi-ingredients" width="300" height="191" /></p>
<li style="text-align: center;">At this stage; when the fire is off, and while the water is very hot, put the ingredients into the water, to make<br />
noodle soup.</li>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-130" title="maggiboth" src="http://www.gatenka.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/maggiboth-300x96.jpg" alt="maggiboth" width="507" height="155" /></p>
<li style="text-align: center;">However, if you&#8217;re making a dry dish instead, take out the noodles and add the ingredients and toss it to get your dry instant noodles.</li>
</ol>
<p>Hope this piece of information is of importance to your health in relation to eating instant noodles.</p>
<p>Cheers. :)</p>
