Long before the invention of instant noodles, in ancient times, people in the East and the West cooked noodles and served them with soup. In China, similar pasta is called "spaghetti" or "Yi Fu noodles" (also known as "spaghetti" in Taiwan Province province). According to legend, Yi Bingshou celebrated his mother's birthday at home in Qing Dynasty. Due to the large number of guests, the chef mistakenly put the cooked egg noodles into the boiling oil pan in a hurry, so he had to scoop them up and serve them with soup. Because the guests were full of praise after eating, this dish was handed down. Early instant noodles were still packaged with one side and Yi Fu noodles, such as the three fresh sides of Huafeng.
It is said that the first person to make instant noodles was a chef named Yi Zhifu in Yangzhou, China. He added eggs to flour, rolled them into thin slices, cut them into filaments, boiled them in water, and then immediately fried them in oil. The noodles treated in this way can be soaked in hot water at any time, which is very convenient to eat.
As for non-fried instant noodles, it can be traced back to the noodle invented by Han Xinjun in the third year of the Western Han Dynasty in China (205 years ago). When Han Xin led 654.38+ ten thousand troops in Heyang, near the Yellow River, preparing to attack Wei Bao, the king of the Western Wei State in Hedong, in order to solve the problem of carrying rations, he invented pasting buckwheat flour and wheat flour, cooking them into eight-ripe big cakes and cutting them into wide strips. This kind of bread is not only convenient to carry around, but also can be eaten as long as it is boiled in water, so it can be regarded as the earliest form of instant noodles, just as tobacco leaves in ancient China were the earliest form of cigarettes.
Modern instant noodles, which have become instant food, were invented in Ikeda City, Osaka Prefecture on 19 10 by Japanese Ando, who was born in Taiwan Province Province, China. Given that there was a long queue to eat a bowl of Lamian Noodles.

Ando soon realized that in order to maintain the reputation of new products, the market must be standardized. 1960 won the copyright lawsuit of instant noodles, and registered the trademark of "Chicken Spicy Noodles" the following year. 1964, Ando established the Lamian Noodles Industry Association and transferred the instant noodle patent to the industry. Ando said that the move is to make the industry bigger, so as to provide cheap and good instant noodles for everyone.
