Question dried noodles

Is it true? 1/2 cup of the dried crispy noodles that you get with Chinese = 6 points????

Doesn't seem right - please help!

I think they are fried not dried and yes they would be that high...1 package of ramen is 8 points

Most of the organic/health food places do have a BAKED ramen package that you can make those salads from. It is like 1/2 the points of the regular ones.

Default Ramen Noodles

DON'T USE RAMEN NOODLES!!!!

I make a chinese salad with cabbage, crushed dried noodles & mandarin oranges that I love. To constantly reduce the points I buy chinese noodles (in the chinese section - not the ramen section) and they are twisted & come in a block. They only have a few grams of fat per ounce. Even rice noodles will work and don't have as many points.

Just look at the ramen label one time. It is just dripping with fat. Try to look around the asian section for other options.
