Over the past couple of decades, the number of Russians who travel abroad has grown every year. Italy, of course, is among the top tourist countries - a country with a romantic aura and rich culinary traditions.

We invite you, together with Alexey Cherkasov, brand chef (BIGBON) and member of the Russian Guild of Chefs, to take a virtual trip and prepare three dishes from different countries for lunch.

For ease of consumption, this portion of noodles is usually packaged in a plastic or foam plastic container with a lid. It does not melt under the influence of hot water. Each container is packed in food grade polyethylene film.

Instant noodles - benefits and harms

Corrugated vermicelli, which is the basis of the dish, is dried at high temperatures, then fried in oil. With this processing, few useful vitamins and microelements remain in the dough.

In order for the vermicelli to keep its shape, stabilizers, modified starch, thickeners, and emulsifiers are added to the dough. For taste added salt, sugar, vegetable protein,

Seasoning in the form of broth, enclosed in a bag, is considered especially harmful. It contains the following ingredients:

• flavoring;
• meat or mushroom broth concentrate;
• aroma enhancer E 621;
• maltodextrin (thickener made from natural starch);
• salt;
• pepper;
• sugar;
• soy sauce.

Seasoning with vegetables seems quite safe at first glance:

• dried herbs;
• carrots, celery, peas, hot peppers, bell peppers, onions, garlic and other dried vegetables;
• kelp powder (contains the daily requirement of iodine);

Each package contains a warning from the manufacturer that the product contains glutamate and processed soy.

Due to the fact that instant noodles do not require cooking, have a corrugated original shape and hold well in a dish, housewives come up with a lot of interesting culinary recipes based on them.

For those losing weight and those on a diet

The calorie content of instant noodles is not high, approximately 420-440 kcal. per 100 gr. product. Since the dough in the process of making vermicelli is processed and dried at high temperatures, it therefore contains a minimum amount of proteins and fats. And almost only carbohydrates remain.

If you cook the noodles without seasoning, the calorie content will be approximately 410 kcal. If we consider that an active adult requires approximately 2400 kcal per day, then a tray of Rolton or Doshirak is a complete lunch.
