The best way to enjoy instant noodles is to add some vegetables, eggs, maybe some 'spam' (i just know the brand, don't know what it is called lol), and some cheese. :P

Technically it's saturated palm oil, yeah, which is a waxy solid at room temperature. Esterified compounds of it are used to make candles. But you can easily see it float off the noodles when you boil them. If you want to get rid of it, add boiling water to the noodles, let them sit for a  while, decant, add sachets, and add more boiling water.

Veggies are disgusting. No amount of ramen is worth eating it, surely :p .

It's not going to harm you though.  We coat all sorts of foods in wax (cheeses in particular); it's pretty clearly food safe in these forms, there's no harm in ingesting a small amount.

Well,  considering the quantity of ramen I've ingested..  It's like I'm eating an entire birthday candle every 3-4 days..
