The Most Nutritional Ramen

In our class, we had to create a healthy ramen recipe, and then find the nutritional values of the meal, and if there wasn't enough vitamins or macronutrients, we would change it to accommodate the allowance. As I really liked beef, I decided to make a ramen, that was healthy with beef. I used "fat secret.com" to find the nutritional values of my meal, and determined the amounts of each item by typing the ingredients and amounts in.

I used another website to find the daily macronutrient allowances daily for an average male adult.  It was this:

Protein - 68g

Fat - 69g 

Carbohydrates - 344 carbs

In total, my recipe had to get over 1/3 of the daily allowance. I almost did it:

29.26g of fat,

47.72g of protein, and

88.62 of carbs.

The extra 30 grams of carbs would be made up by eating a slice of bread with the ramen, making it:

118.62 grams of carbs. 

Here is the recipe: feel free to use this to cook your ramen!

Ellis Island Reflection

1. I think people felt relived upon their arrival at Ellis Island, as they had gone on the ship for a very long time, and also spend all their money getting there, so once they got there it would have been quite relieving to find that you were near/on shore.

2. I think the screening process in the immigration would be very complicated, as many people would be arguing with some inspectors to seal their place in America. Also, it is quite easy to get sick on the boat, and because of that they would be deported back to America.

3. I knew we were taking a "ship" to go to another classroom, and I didn't really know what was going to happen, but when we got to the other classroom to do the "immigration" simulation I wanted just to get through.
