Healthy Recipe Ideas
Wai Wai Veggie Noodle Stir-fry
1. Boil the Wai Wai noodles for 2 minutes and drain, discarding the water. 2. In a pan, stir-fry 1 cup of mixed vegetables (carrots, bell peppers, beans) in 1 tsp of oil. 3. Add the boiled noodles to the pan. 4. Season with a splash of low-sodium soy sauce and black pepper, omitting the high-sodium tastemaker provided. 5. Garnish with fresh spring onions and serve hot.
Health Benefits
This preparation adds fiber and vitamins from fresh vegetables while drastically cutting down on sodium and fat by avoiding the included seasoning packets.
Healthy Wai Wai Protein Soup
1. Bring 300ml of low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth to a boil. 2. Add sliced mushrooms, spinach, and shredded chicken or paneer to the broth. 3. Add the Wai Wai noodle cake (without any seasonings) and cook for 2-3 minutes until soft. 4. Flavour the soup with fresh ginger, garlic, and a squeeze of lime. 5. Serve hot, garnished with coriander.
Health Benefits
Creates a balanced and hydrating meal with lean protein and greens, transforming the noodles into a much healthier soup by using a low-sodium base.
Additive Analysis
The product contains multiple flavour enhancers (INS 621, 627, 631), which includes Monosodium Glutamate (MSG). While permitted by FSSAI, it carries a mandatory warning for infants and can cause sensitivity in some individuals. The natural color (Caramel 150d) and other regulators/thickeners are generally considered safe.

Marketing Claims
The claims regarding convenience and versatility ('Ready to Eat', 'Munch it, Soup it, Lunch it') are accurate. However, the front-of-pack imagery featuring fresh vegetables and a boiled egg could be considered misleading as it presents the product as a wholesome meal, which contrasts sharply with its poor nutritional profile. The 'Chicken Flavoured' claim is technically correct as it uses flavourings, not actual chicken.
