Nutritional Summary
The product is very low in calories, fat, and high in fiber, which is positive. However, a single serving contains an extremely high amount of sodium (1080.6 mg), which is over 54% of the recommended daily intake. The presence of multiple flavour enhancers, including MSG (E621), further reduces its health score.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Veggie-Loaded Buldak Noodles
1. Prepare the Shirataki noodles as per package instructions. 2. In a separate pan, stir-fry a cup of mixed vegetables like bell peppers, broccoli, and carrots in a little sesame oil. 3. Mix the prepared noodles and half of the seasoning packet with the stir-fried vegetables. 4. Garnish with fresh coriander and a sprinkle of sesame seeds before serving.
Health Benefits
Adds essential vitamins, minerals, and extra fiber from fresh vegetables, while reducing the sodium intake by using only half the seasoning.
Tofu & Spinach Shirataki Stir-fry
1. Prepare the noodles as instructed. 2. Sauté 100g of cubed tofu in a pan until golden. 3. Add a large handful of fresh spinach and the prepared noodles to the pan. 4. Stir in half of the Buldak seasoning packet and cook until the spinach has wilted. Serve immediately.
Health Benefits
Boosts the protein content with tofu and adds iron and vitamins from spinach for a more balanced, satisfying meal.
Additive Analysis
The product contains multiple additives including flavour enhancers (E621, E627, E631) and colours (E160c, E150d). While these are generally permitted by FSSAI within specified limits, high consumption of MSG (E621) is controversial and can cause adverse reactions in sensitive individuals. The sodium level is dangerously high. Overall, the additive load combined with high sodium poses a moderate health risk, especially for regular consumers.

Marketing Claims
The claims 'Low-Carb', 'Low-Calorie', and 'Keto Friendly' are factually supported by the nutritional information. However, the overall marketing presents the product as a healthy alternative without acknowledging the extremely high sodium content (54% of daily RDA) and the presence of controversial flavour enhancers like MSG. This could be misleading for consumers seeking genuinely healthy food options.
