The inventor of instant noodles is a Japanese, Momofuku Ando. "After World War II, there was a serious shortage of food in Japan, and people were so hungry that they even ate potatoes. Momofuku Ando occasionally passed by a ramen stall, see the poorly dressed crowd in the cold wind lined up dozens of meters long, he could not help but to the ramen had a great interest. 1958 spring, Momofuku Ando in the Osaka Prefecture, Ikeda City, the backyard of the residence built a 10 square meters of the research room, to find an old noodle-making machine, and then bought a diameter of 1 meters of the Chinese frying pan, a bag of 18 kilograms of flour, oil, etc. to concentrate on the study of instant noodles. The research of instant noodle was conducted in the past. The reasoning behind the repeated development Momofuku Ando envisioned instant noodles as a kind of instant noodle that could be eaten as soon as hot water was added to it, making it very easy to eat. He was a complete novice in the noodle business, and there was a great deal to be learned about the subtle combination of ingredients. After much effort he finally solved the preservation problem. Later, his wife's method of making deep-fried dishes inspired him again. The noodle coating of deep-fried food has countless holes, just like a sponge, which is because the noodle coating is blended with water, in which the water will be dispersed in the process of deep-frying, forming "holes", and will soon become soft when added to boiling water. By dipping the noodles in the broth to flavor them and then deep-frying them to dry them, he solved the problems of preservation and cooking at the same time. He was so excited that he called this method the "Instant Hot Oil Drying Method" and obtained a patent for the instant noodle method. At that time, there were chickens in the backyard next to the research hut, and they were often used to kill them for the dinner table. One day, his mother-in-law made chicken broth from the chicken bones and put it in the ramen noodles, and his son ate it very well. That was when Ando decided to use chicken broth in his instant noodles. Exporting before opening up domestic sales Ando distributed the trial product to acquaintances in various places, and the evaluation was that "it has a different flavor from the existing ramen, and it is very convenient, so it can become a new product. Ando asked a friend of his who worked in a trading company to send the samples to the United States to test the response, and he received an immediate reply from the United States requesting an order for another 500 boxes. Ando realized that food really has no borders, and has a vague feeling that this product will become a global commodity in the future.
