The making of instant noodles is very different from the traditional noodle making. First of all, before formally answering this question, we need to know the difference between making instant noodles and ordinary noodles, because the real reason for the difference in taste between cooked instant noodles and soaked instant noodles lies in the processing technology of instant noodles.
Question 1: What is the biggest difference between instant noodles and ordinary noodles?
Most instant noodles on the market belong to fried instant noodles, which is the biggest difference from ordinary noodles. In addition to a series of processing procedures such as mixing, waking, pressing, shredding and cooking, instant noodles have to go through the step of frying. One of the functions of frying is to dehydrate noodles, which can ensure that noodles will not go bad during transportation and storage. Because it is dehydrated noodles, the shelf life of instant noodles is very long.
Question 2: Has the structure of fried instant noodles changed greatly?
Change 1: When the cooked fresh noodles pass through the high-temperature oil drum, the noodles are surrounded by high-temperature oil, and the temperature of the noodles itself will rise immediately, so the water in the noodles will evaporate quickly. When the water originally existing in noodles evaporates and flows out, it will cause the porous structure of instant noodles.
On the contrary, ordinary noodles are actually sealed, so this is why instant noodles are easy to absorb water and are easy to be scalded by boiling water, while dried noodles are not. This is the real meaning of the word "convenient" in instant noodles.
Change 2: Instant noodles can be eaten dry besides being soaked and boiled. I believe many people loved to eat broken instant noodles when they were young. This is because the finished instant noodles themselves are cooked noodles and can be eaten directly. The dried noodles in the same convenient noodles are raw noodles. So you can't just eat.
But the cooking technology of instant noodles is very different from ordinary noodles. Instant noodles are cooked twice, first cooked and then fried. In the process of frying instant noodles, the gelatinization degree of starch in noodles will be further increased, and the internal connection of noodles will be stronger, which is also the reason why instant noodles will have Q bombs after cooking.
The two changes of instant noodles after frying are the main reasons for the different tastes of cooked instant noodles and instant noodles. Many people mistakenly think that the cooked instant noodles can be cooked quickly by heat conduction because of the high water temperature, while the soaked instant noodles can only be cooked stiffly because the water temperature is not high enough. In fact, it is a big mistake. Because instant noodles are cooked, how to cook or soak them? The main purpose of instant noodles boiled or soaked in water is actually to soften. The real reason for the different tastes of instant noodles by these two methods is that:
1. Porous structure of instant noodles: One reason why cooked instant noodles taste good is that boiling water can enter instant noodles in a short time, because the fluidity of boiling water can easily enter noodles with porous structure. Therefore, instant noodles can absorb enough water in a short time to make noodles soft, while instant noodles need to be soaked for a long time to make noodles soft, because the water is calm, which will destroy the gelatinized and stable starch in instant noodles. When the gelatinized starch absorbs too much water, it will lose its original cohesion, so the noodles will not only swell, but also become soft, waxy and tasteless.
2. Starch gelatinization degree of instant noodles: high temperature can further increase the gelatinization degree of starch in instant noodles, while the starch contained in cooked instant noodles will be further gelatinized in boiling high temperature water, and the specific performance of this further gelatinized starch is that cooked instant noodles will be more Q-elastic, because further gelatinized starch can increase the adhesion of various substances inside noodles.
On the contrary, the noodles soaked for a long time can not further gelatinize the starch contained in the noodles, but also make the gelatinized starch absorb too much water for a long time, which leads to the loss of its original adhesion, so the natural taste will deteriorate.
So the taste of boiled noodles is better than that of instant noodles. On the surface, it is caused by the temperature of water. In fact, the porous structure of instant noodles and the gelatinization degree of starch in noodles are complementary results. First, the fluidity of water makes instant noodles absorb enough water quickly, and then the starch in instant noodles is further gelatinized because it absorbs a lot of high-temperature hot water. Without any factors, the taste of noodles will change greatly.
To sum up, in fact, experienced masters know that the taste of noodles can be distinguished by watching, mainly through the color and state of noodles. A noodle with rich taste should be crystal clear, slightly yellow and smooth. In fact, this is based on the gelatinization state of cooked starch of noodles. Think about it carefully, the color of cooked instant noodles and the color of brewed instant noodles, one is glittering and translucent yellowish, and the other is white.

Speaking of instant noodles, they are really good friends of young people! Not only office workers, but also home travel is the first choice. Even stars are loved. Recently, I watched "Three Yards", and Kenny Lin ate instant noodles in almost every episode.
This trip to Cuba, I didn't expect instant noodles to solve a lot of embarrassment! Whenever we are hungry, the instant noodles we carry at any time give us food and clothing and make us feel safe. Even in airbnb, it is really happy and satisfying to cook a pot of steaming instant noodles with a few eggs on it every morning. Friends in the same trade say that they are worthy of being food bloggers, and the instant noodles they make are delicious! In fact, I secretly think that you usually make instant noodles. I'm cooking noodles. It must be delicious!
When cooking, put the noodles after the water is boiled. Because hot water is boiling, water molecules move very fast, which can quickly penetrate the surface of instant noodles, enter them and transfer heat to them. The high temperature caused the bread to expand rapidly. However, because only a small amount of water molecules enter the surface of the bread, the internal tissues of the instant noodles are not damaged or loose, and the noodles are firm, chewy and not soft.
Instant noodles are actually stuffy noodles. Even if the water is reheated, the instant noodles are already below the boiling point. In the process of soaking, due to the discontinuous heat, the movement speed of water molecules will slow down and eventually stop. After passing through the surface of instant noodles, a large number of water molecules stay in the instant noodles. While releasing heat, these water molecules also bubble out all the oil in the cake and adsorb it on the surface of the cake. Therefore, the taste of instant noodles will be much worse because the water content of the cake is large and not strong enough.
Remember "I like you" Takeshi Kaneshiro's instant noodle solution?
When the water boils 100℃, the noodles will be cooked thoroughly in 3 minutes, but the teeth are most elastic when they are not penetrated ... Then put ice water to cool, add seasoning, and then pour eight minutes of hot water, so that you can take the lead in eating!
Until my cousin knew the process of cooking instant noodles, she said strangely, unexpectedly, really unexpectedly.
But I don't know about it. Until my cousin came to see us recently, the high school students were ill. Now, I don't eat instant noodles much. It's not that it smells bad, but it reminds me of the hard days in high school.
But I was trying to save trouble at that time, so it was hard to expect me to cook. I'm good at eating, but I certainly can't cook. My cousin is screaming and hungry, so I can't cook some instant noodles for her. My cousin frowned as soon as he cooked the meal. Ah, eat instant noodles? I haven't eaten this kind of food for several years, and I can see that my cousin is not very willing.
But just after eating, I feel that this is not the case. It's completely different from the instant noodles I ate at school in my early years, and the taste is still very good.
Although my cousin was not satisfied with this lunch, she asked curiously, why is this kind of instant noodles different from the instant noodles I ate in high school?
Because everyone's taste buds are different and their habits are different, there is no way to make uniform constraints and requirements, but from my previous experience, the instant noodles cooked are more gluten-free and delicious than those soaked in hot water. Why? The reasons are as follows.
Reason 1: The special structure of instant noodles is different from ordinary noodles. Some friends may say: Why is it different? Aren't they all cooked? Well, instant noodles can be eaten raw. Can this noodle be eaten raw? Theoretically, yes, but eating raw noodles is no different from eating raw flour. I just ate too much, um, forget it, don't say much.
This is because the production technology of instant noodles and noodles themselves is different.
The vast majority of instant noodles belong to fried instant noodles, which are made after a series of technological processes such as proofing, pressing, shredding and cooking. Among them, it is necessary to dehydrate instant noodles, which is often called frying, so as to ensure that the shelf life of instant noodles can reach 6 months or even longer.
In such a complicated process, instant noodles themselves are cooked, but ordinary noodles are not. Even some noodles are typical wet noodles, that is, raw noodles. The shelf life of noodles made of raw noodles may be as short as three to seven days, and the time is a little longer, and they are all hairy.
This is why most of our instant noodles cooked are elastic to eat, while instant noodles soaked in hot water don't feel so carefree.
The second reason is that instant noodles have been talked about in some TV series before they are cooked. It feels similar to what we summarized, so I don't have to tell you what TV series it is. When the instant noodles are boiled for three minutes, the boiled water can be taken out directly. Noodles are particularly thick at this time. If you cook for more than five minutes, you will still cook there. Even if the instant noodles are finally cooked, it is estimated that you
In fact, the reason for the big difference is that when we cook instant noodles, we are often used to beating an egg with ham in instant noodles, and then throwing two slices of lettuce. If we don't put anything, the taste of cooking is not very different from that of soaking. If you like soft food, boil it for a long time, or cook it for a long time. If you like hard food, soak it for a short time, or cook it for a short time. The taste and hardness of noodles are completely controlled by the person who cooks them.
Of course, the cooked noodles are still more fragrant than the soaked noodles. During the process from cold to hot and then to boiling, some chemical reactions will occur. The intensity of this reaction will definitely be stronger than boiling water, and the fragrance will be more easily stimulated. The room is full of eggs and sausages. Plus, I've been hungry for a long time, and I'm sure I'll feel delicious when I see such a bowl of cooked noodles with all colors and flavors.
Moreover, the process of cooking noodles is definitely more complicated than that of instant noodles, and the waiting time is longer. The efforts made by the noodle chef will also be reflected psychologically. It took me so long to cook this bowl of instant noodles, which is definitely better than instant noodles!
Although many people like to cook creative dishes now and add their favorite spices such as cheese to instant noodles, I still love that simple bowl of instant noodles, eggs, ham, sausages and vegetables! In this cold winter, cook a bowl of love instant noodles for yourself and your loved ones, and your body and mind will be warm!
As an expert on instant noodles, this question is best answered by me. Just praise it. You like instant noodles. That was when you were young. At that time, it was possible that everyone had a light meal at home, and instant noodles were particularly delicious. At that time, my dream was to eat instant noodles every day when I grew up. This dream has finally come true today. Tragedy
All the instant noodles I have eaten are boiled, soaked, fried and dried. Boiled instant noodles and noodles taste more delicate, and soaked noodles taste soft and crisp. Nothing elaborate. Unless you soak for a short time, I like instant noodles for a long time.
What is the essential difference between soaking and boiling?
First of all, all noodles are fried. It can be said that there is a lot of oil in noodles, and because of frying, a noodle and a mixed film will be formed on the surface of noodles. In the process of cooking noodles, it usually doesn't take long. At this time, the water temperature is relatively high and the temperature is almost unchanged. At this time, instant noodles represent a mixed film of noodles and oil, because under high-temperature boiling water,
When soaking noodles, the water temperature is not high, and the temperature is constantly lost. The oil film on the surface of noodles and the grease in noodles can't form a protective film at low temperature, so water can penetrate into the noodles from the outside, making the noodles soft and chewy, and the noodles can obviously feel greasy. You can add vinegar or vegetables when cooking instant noodles to reduce the greasy feeling, and you can also reduce the time of instant noodles to achieve a delicate taste.
Is there anyone like me who has missed the taste of instant noodles for a long time, especially when taking the train? This is called the desire to smell.
However, when I buy bubbles or cook them myself, I feel that they are not so delicious. Sometimes I feel really bad, so I won't eat them next time.
Then, next time, I will be greedy, and then I will hate, a vicious circle. ...
Doctor Jingjing Soup, who knows how to eat and wants to be healthy, came to answer. The cooked noodles are not only delicious, but also contain less oil and calories. It is not easy to make instant noodles delicious.
In the processing of instant noodles, after hot water permeates the surface of instant noodles, because there is no continuous hot pressing, a lot of water will only stay inside the noodles, so the noodles will be soft and blistered. At the same time, the grease in the bread will always adhere to the surface of the noodles. So the noodles are not thick or greasy.
In the process of cooking noodles, boiling water molecules move very fast, so only a small amount of water molecules penetrate the surface of noodles, and its internal structure is not loose, so the taste of noodles will be more gluten. In addition, the oil contained in the bread will be squeezed out by active water molecules and will not adhere to the bread, so it tastes thick and not greasy.
Another way to improve the taste of noodles is to wash them with ice water after soaking or cooking. First, the oil is washed away, and second, the gluten shrinks rapidly, and the taste will be elastic and slippery.

Of course, it tastes very different.
No matter how hot the water in which you soak instant noodles is, he just soaks instant noodles and is absorbed by fried instant noodles. Return to the state before dehydration. Plus you only have the seasoning in the instant noodles. No matter what, it will taste like that. Delicious can be delicious.
At home, it's different. You can cook instant noodles. I always pour out the water for cooking instant noodles. Boil the water again. You can put some sausages and eggs in it. Shred pork. You can also put some fresh vegetables or prawns in the mustard tuber. I think you can eat whatever you want. A hundred people have a hundred flavors. Nothing fixed.
Instant noodles are of course familiar to everyone. I usually cook instant noodles at home and don't like to soak. It doesn't feel as delicious as cooked.
Everyone should have my idea that instant noodles are generally nearly twice as expensive as cooked noodles.
When you cook instant noodles, you must boil the water before adding the noodles. The high heat in the pot can quickly swell the noodles, so that the cooked instant noodles are more fragrant, thicker and more delicious.
Barreled instant noodles, that is, braised noodles, are poured hot water into a noodle bucket. During the processing of instant noodles,
Because the water is not heated, the temperature will gradually decrease, and in the process of crossing the surface,
Water molecules will stay on the noodles, and the heat released will soften the instant noodles.
Therefore, the instant noodles soaked in this way have a lot of water and are not chewy, and the taste is much worse than that of boiled noodles.
Instant noodles themselves have no nutrition. I suggest that you should never eat this kind of food with preservatives and deep frying if possible, except working overtime and taking the train. Eating too much is not good for your health. You should have a good life and you can't cope.
I seldom eat instant noodles, but I think there is a big difference between boiled instant noodles and instant noodles!
When cooking instant noodles, you can mix all kinds of green leafy vegetables you like in the soup, and you can also add poached eggs or sausages. This can not only increase the taste of soup, but also enrich food, so this is one of the reasons why many people like to eat boiled instant noodles! Especially for people who don't like instant noodles, you can cook two packets of instant noodles and then add side dishes, so that a meal can be easily solved. I think it's ok to cook instant noodles occasionally, just as a way to improve your life! Ha ha laugh
To soak instant noodles, generally, as long as the noodles are soaked in hot water and softened, they can be eaten. This way of eating is particularly simple, time-saving and labor-saving, especially fast and convenient, and more suitable for lazy people! But the instant noodles can only be filled with seasonings such as oil bags and vegetable bags, so they taste very clear and watery. Compared with boiled noodles, the taste of soaked noodles is definitely much worse! However, people usually buy a bowl of instant noodles when they are on a business trip or when they have no choice, and then soak them in boiling water and start eating. There is nothing particular about instant noodles, anyone can make them!
When cooking instant noodles, you can freely control the hardness, and people who like to eat soft will cook more; If you like gluten, cook less. In addition, you can also add vegetables and other ingredients according to your personal hobbies!
Instant noodles only need to be scalded with boiling water. Soaking is simple and easy, but it tastes far less delicious than cooking! In fact, I think it is just an instant noodle, and there is no other difference!
Personally, I think: whether it's cooking instant noodles or soaking instant noodles, isn't it just an instant noodle? So no matter how delicious the cooking is, no matter how bad the soaking is, as long as people are hungry to a certain extent, they will no longer be picky! When you are hungry enough, you can eat whatever you want! Do you believe it or not? [Laughter]
