Instant Noodles

Instant noodles are pre-cooked and dried wheat noodles that often come with a flavor pouch and can be prepared quickly by adding hot water. Invented in Japan by Momofuku Ando in 1958, they have become a global phenomenon due to their convenience and versatility. They come in countless varieties and flavors, adapted to local taste preferences around the world, including many Asian versions with flavors such as chicken, beef, seafood, miso, and kimchi.
