Instant Noodles (Wai Wai) (1 Serving)

Use only half the noodle block or split the serving, and add extra low-starch vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, mushrooms, cabbage, or bok choy.

Add protein before or with the noodles, such as eggs, tofu, chicken, fish, or edamame, to slow the rise in blood sugar.

Avoid drinking the broth if it is heavily sweetened or starchy; use less seasoning and flavor with chili, garlic, ginger, vinegar, or herbs instead.

Eat the protein and vegetables first, then have the noodles last and slowly rather than eating them quickly.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after the meal, if this is safe for you.

Choose a smaller noodle portion and avoid pairing it with sweet drinks, desserts, or other refined-starch foods.
