Source of instant noodles
As early as before the invention of instant noodles, in ancient times, people in the east and west fried cooked noodles and served them with soup. In China, there are similar pasta dishes called "Yi Mian" or "Yi Fu Mian". According to legend, Yi Bingshou celebrated his mother's birthday at home in the Qing Dynasty. Due to the large number of guests, the chef was in a hurry to put the cooked egg noodles into the boiling oil pan by mistake, 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 Yi Mian and Yi Fu Mian.
As for the non-fried instant noodles, it can be traced back to the noodle invented by Han Xin army in the third year of the Western Han Dynasty in China (205 years ago). When Han Xin led the army in Heyang, near the Yellow River, and was ready to attack Wei Bao, the king of the Western Wei Dynasty in Hedong, in order to solve the problem of military food supply, he invented to paste buckwheat flour and wheat flour, cook them into eight-ripe big cakes, and cut them into wide strips.
