Yeah bro you've got the right idea for sure. The less you use of the seasoning they give you, the healthier it is. That's where alot of the high sodium comes from. I always take the noodles and boil the shit out of them, and then pour that water off, and then do it a little more to wash all of those starches off. Dudes in prison would boil a bunch of ramen and then pour off that starchy water and save it. They would take a clean rag and rub that same water down on their nice prison whites(the ones we would wear to visits), and then stick them under the mattress laid out when they slept. The next day when they would take them out, the clothes would be stiff and look like they came from the dry cleaners. True story. That's when I made the decision to start cleaning the noodles first lol
