Instant hot oil drying method When Mr. Ando developed the world's earliest instant noodles, the most difficult thing was the preservation method. When I was thinking hard about how to preserve the seasoned noodles, I saw that my family was frying tempura for dinner. After the tempura mask made of dissolved flour was put into hot oil, many small holes appeared on the mask that evaporated water. At this time, Mr. Ando suddenly thought that after frying the seasoned noodles and adding hot water, the moisture would be transmitted to the whole noodle through those small holes, returning to the original state - delicious ramen noodles! If there was no "instant hot oil drying method" of frying and drying the noodles, instant noodles might not have been born.
