Top Ramen Masala Noodles (Nissin) (1 Serving)

Eat a smaller portion of the noodles—consider half the packet—and avoid drinking the starchy cooking water.

Add a protein source such as eggs, tofu, chicken, fish, or paneer; this can slow how quickly the meal raises glucose.

Bulk up the bowl with non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, cabbage, mushrooms, bell peppers, broccoli, cauliflower, or green beans, while using fewer noodles.

Have the noodles after a starter of salad or cooked vegetables with a little lemon or vinegar, rather than eating them on an empty stomach.

Avoid pairing the meal with sweet drinks, juice, desserts, or extra bread; choose water, unsweetened tea, or sparkling water instead.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, if safe for you. If large spikes continue, discuss the pattern with your clinician or diabetes educator.
