Baked Ramen Noodles?

Sorry to post two posts back to back but I was wondering if anyone knows where I can buy baked ramen noodles. I have to admit they are one of my guilty pleasures but they're not particularly heart-healthy. I remember in college (mid/late 90's) I used to buy a baked version that was really low fat. Has anyone seen them anywhere recently? Thanks!

    If it's the snacking kind...Ranch 99 sells them. They have a wizard or spaceman on the package. I believe a package costs around 25 cents.

      Ooh, forgot about those! They used to sell them at a Japanese market by my house growing up in LA. They were sold in individual sized packages, marketed for kids.

      Maybe try a Japanese market then?

      I saw a recipe some years back which involved lightly crushing a pack of ramen noodles (yes, the 10/$1 kind) and deep-frying them in oil, then draining on paper towels and immediately sprinkling with the ramen flavor packet. I never tried it but for 10 cents, it might be worth a try. Probably won't be the same and just might be really gross, but it's something to do.
