      Instant noodles are a quick, simple food that saves people much time on cooking. But how did they come to be? Although instant noodles were invented in Japan, the inventor, Momofuku Ando, was from Taiwan. He came up with the idea of frying the noodles just a bit. He first boiled, flavored, and dried the noodles before deep frying them in oil at high heat. This flashfrying removes the water inside the noodles quickly and creates many tiny holes. The holes allow the noodles to absorb water easily when they are cooked later. Another advantage of flash frying is that the dry noodles can be stored for up to a year without going bad.
      The first instant noodles made by Ando’s company entered the market in 1958. At the time,chicken-flavored instant noodles were even more expensive than fresh noodles. In 1971, Nissin began selling noodles served in a single cup, a packing which was convenient for an instant feed. All the customer had to do was add hot water. Then, when dried vegetables were also put into the cup, instant noodles became a complete meal.
      Today about 96 billion servings of instant noodles are consumed around the world each year. One major reason why instant noodles become a popular dish is that they are quite cheap.A single pack can be bought for as little as NT$8.
