God youtube shorts are awful. Here's a video where you can't skip forward, and you can't scroll to center the video on your screen or it moves onto the next one like tik tok. What is this shit, just be youtube.

Fucking for real. I don't fucking want to be forced to rewatch the entire video because someone fumbled over their words. And I don't want it to be forced full screen. Awful

The funny thing about this video is she complains about salt and the first ingredient in her mix is two bullion cubes. 1 cube is 1100 mg of salt or 46% of your daily needs... granted she doesn't want you to use all the mix but she gets caught in the same problem that Top Ramen faces.

I had that same thought until the end when she says to just use 1tbsp of the mix to replace 1 seasoning packet. I did the math and it still cuts the sodium in about half versus a Top Ramen packet.

1 bouillon cube = 1tsp of bouillon powder. Two of those plus everything else makes 8tsp of seasoning mix, or ~2.67tbsp. The bouillon is the only part containing sodium, so assuming 1100mg per cube, that's 2200mg for ~2.67tbsp. That divides out to ~825mg sodium per 1tbsp serving. 1 packet of Top Ramen Chicken flavor seasoning is listed at 1600mg of sodium, almost double this recipe. So definitely still a big improvement for people trying to keep their sodium intake low. Plus, you could easily sub reduced sodium bouillon into this recipe. The same calculations using Knorr's reduced sodium bouillon as an example, with 610mg sodium per 1tsp serving bring the whole recipe down to only ~457.5mg sodium per 1tbsp serving.

or just use half the packet and skip this...

Yeah but then you're also getting only half of all the other stuff that provides the already miniscule amount of actual flavor besides just saltiness. I wouldn't do this personally, but I'm fortunate enough to actually need all the extra salt I can get

I've been doing half packets for a while and I don't really notice a difference. There is tons of flavor in that packet. I encourage everyone here to try it.
