Instant noodles are pre-cooked, fried wheat noodles sold in blocks with a seasoning packet and prepared with boiling water. One 85 g block with its seasoning has about 375 kcal, 15 g of fat (7 g saturated, mostly from the frying oil) and about 1,580 mg of sodium, over two thirds of the 2,300 mg daily value, most of it in the seasoning. Using half the packet cuts the sodium substantially. The values are for the dry product; preparing it adds only water.
