What does "less sodium" mean for taste and nutrition?

Less sodium indicates this chicken-flavored ramen contains 25% less sodium than Maruchan’s regular ramen version, while aiming to preserve a satisfying, savory broth. It’s a middle ground for shoppers seeking reduced salt without switching to specialty or craft noodle products.

How can I customize this ramen for a fuller meal?

• Add fresh or frozen veggies like spinach, carrots, corn, or peas for fiber and color.
• Top with a cooked egg, shredded chicken, or tofu for extra protein.
• Stir in sauces—soy, chili oil, or sesame—for bold flavor variations.
• Finish with herbs or a squeeze of citrus to brighten the broth.
