The so-called 3-minute rule was developed by Momofuku Ando, the Japanese-Taiwanese founder who invented instant noodles.

Bakufu Ando invented instant noodles in 1958, and he established the 3-minute industry yardstick as he continued to experiment and market the product afterward.

In fact, 3 minutes is a psychological trick. When people are facing food, the aroma stimulation of waiting for 3 minutes for noodles plus the wait will make people's appetite better, make them happier to eat and feel delicious. And Ando Momofuku utilizes exactly this ****common psychological effect of people all over the world.

Takehi Kaneshiro's "three-minute" noodle method:

This is from the movie "Like You", Takeshi Kaneshiro, in the drama, is worth more than ten billion dollars, is extremely picky about food, but is quite fond of noodles, to pinch the stopwatch to cook, timed at 3 minutes, time to quickly fish out! Think "Perfection only exists for a moment, but the numbers will help get infinitely closer to that moment."

Cook the noodles for three minutes, when they're at their most al dente and delicious, to capitalize on this moment. Drain and sprinkle with seasoning, add 1 drop of sesame oil and quickly stir to combine. Then pour in freshly boiled water, just barely over the noodles, let it sit for another 3 minutes, and eat immediately. Before I deliberately tried, indeed a little more delicious, soaking noodles noodles more strong, over ice water soaking noodles is not greasy, the taste is more refreshing!
