Resistant starch from Potato tornados - terrible idea

Hello!

Because i cant help myself but to really doubt that cooling for 5 hour will reduce the calories of ramen by half, i decided to make resistant starch from a snack that i really love - potato tornadoes!

Potato tornadoes are a wonderful fastfood, even suitable for weightloss if oil is used sparse.
i bought an oil sprayer just to bake low fat potato tornadoes! i can really recommend oil sprayer for everyone who wants to bake with only little oil.

The other great thing of potato tornadoes is, that they are healthy. The potatoes doesn't need to be cooked, to dispense their vitamins in to the cooking water that will only be poured away. The best thing to cook potatoes is to sizzle them with very little oil or to bake them with very little oil or even no oil.
Please don't bake potatoes in tin foil, I'm not sure that the aluminum isn't going into the potatoes. Please avoid ALL aluminum, since its considered to be a potential cause of neurodegenerative diseases.

Here some arousing pictures of delicious potato tornadoes first of all:



Oh dear, they are so yummy!

The top is crispy like potato chips and the other areas are soft.
A perfect composition!!!

I spray them thinly with the oil sprayer and sprinkle some potato fries spices on them. Paprika, curry, onion, pepper, cumin, chili, garlic and so on...

Then i bake them at 392 degree Fahrenheit until toe top side get brown edges.
better don't bake them too crispy, because it WILL be higher in acrylamide then. (Which is so far, the only disadvantage of this delicious snack)



 Another picture with my hand as a measuring scale.

To home make these precious potato snacks, you only need such a crank:
If your skilled with your hands, you will be able to make very good potato tornadoes, just with that. That thingy only costs about 1$.^^ (I recommend to buy a few, because mine broke after 4 month of frequent use^^)

I'm sure, that's the cheapest link:
 Buy spiral cutter for only 0,75$

And here the oil sprayer, too:
Oil sprayer 6,65$

Cheapest link i found.
Btw.: You cant use a normal spraybottle to spray oil, believe my, i already tried it.

Metal skewers 10 pc 3$

(the same that i have)

These are the potato tornadoes that i baked yesterday evening.




I intended to put them in the fridge overnight.

I was skeptical.

They look really nice in the box, though.





















(The picture is taken immediately after their were baked)


Now i came home, looking forward to eat yummiest potato tornadoes with lots of resistant starch and even their calories decimated. ^^

I opened the box, that has been in the fridge the whole time:








Here's how they changed:


























I ate a few and unluckily I'm not very pleased. No crisp anymore. And the taste is also not good. Its hard to describe, but somehow the tastes remembers to raw potatoes. Also the consistency became somehow floury in a way that wasn't good.

Conclusion:
I'm not very happy to announce that potato tornadoes doenst commend themselves as a good resistant starch fastfood.

Resistant starch from ramen noodles?

Hello!

!!!!!TRIGGER WARNING!!!!! PICTURES OF VERY DELICIOUS BUT VERY UNHEALTHY FASTFOOD BELOW  ;-D !!!!!

Recently i read a lot about resistant starch and the more i read the more it fascinates me.

The gut is so important for the whole body and also even mental health, we all should care well for out gut.
Its such a great thing that we easily can nourish good bacteria in our gut, by simple letting our food cool down a while before we eat it!

That brought me to an idea. You know that i really love instant ramen noodles, even tho im a health enthusiast?
Today i just thought why not cooking ramen in the morning and then eating it in the evening, to create resistant starch in it. I wonder if the ramen noodles get more nutritional value then and have much less calories. Oh dear, that would be a dream! feasting ramen without bad consciousness!

Maybe its just a desperate hope that instant ramen could be healthier and a self deceit as well^^ Hahahahahah!

I'm a sly self deceiver.^^ (But i always immediately notice it)

Unluckily research among resistant start is still at the beginning. The theory, that the calories of  carbohydrates HALF then, sound very very dared if you ask me.

Nobody can tell my how much less calories my ramen noodles now had, then fresh made, hot noodles.
I only can see the result on the weighing scale if i do that more often.

Well, lets always try to do it from now, on when cook ramen. The only problem is, that cooking ramen makes me incredible hungry and then i cant help myself but devouring everything immediately.

My favourite ramen tastes very great if its cold and not freshly cooked. Sometimes even better. Perfect!
My favourite ramen is of course..... can you guess it? ^^
Yes, ist samyang buldak bokkeum meyon.

For my first trial to create resistant starch in ramen noodles in made with a ramen variety that is intended to be served cold. Its of course Samyang Ice type *laughter*

 The ready cooked noodles with chinese morel, with goji berries and scallion. And also a slice of processed cheese melted into the noodles.

I let it in the fridge for about 5 hours at least.
Then i poured the sauce over it and garnished with bacon and dried laver flakes.

Here is the incredibly yummy result:

While i ate it, i really hoped not to gain weight.

Are you interested in nutrition? Do you know more about resistant starch? Do you thing i can make resistant starch out of ramen noodles, and i yes, how much?

How much calories will reduce?

The whole Noodle dish (without any garnish) has 600 kcal total.
What you you think how much it will have, when cooled for 5 hours?

300? That would be my dream came true, honestly.  Hahahahhahahahhah!

Now, to make your mouth watery here are some ery delicios ramen pics:
(i know, im mean)














Its all Samyang on all the pictures.





My god, i love ramen.

Comment if you think the calories get reduced with the resistant starch method! (And how much you think, the calories get reduced)

And if you think now: My god, that person must be obese from all the ramen...
No, my BMI is 19,4.
I really eat it rarely.
But if i eat it, its like birthday and christmas together.
