Instant noodles were invented in 1958 by Momofuku Ando, the Taiwanese-born founder of the Japanese food company Nissin. He used Chicken Ramen as the first brand of instant ramen noodles. [2] By the late 1960s, Ando desired to enter the US markets, but discovered that most people in the United States did not have ramen-sized bowls or chopsticks.
In 2004, Chang opened his first restaurant, Momofuku Noodle Bar in the East Village. [16] Chang's website states momofuku means "lucky peach", [17] but the restaurant also shares a name with Momofuku Ando [18] —the inventor of instant noodles. [19] In August 2006, Chang's second restaurant, Momofuku Ssäm Bar, opened a few blocks away.
The company was founded in Japan on 1 September 1948, by Taiwanese-Japanese immigrant Go Pek-Hok (1910-2007), Japanese name Momofuku Ando as Chuko Sosha (中交総社, Chuukou-sousha). [2] Ten years later, the company introduced its first instant ramen noodle product, Chikin Ramen (Chicken Ramen).
Nissin Chikin Ramen (日清チキンラーメン, Nisshin Chikin Rāmen), or Nissin Chicken Ramen, [1] is a noodle brand and the first marketed brand of Japanese instant noodles produced by Nissin Foods since 1958. It was invented by Momofuku Ando after he learned how to cook tempura in his house in Ikeda, Osaka. [2]

Instant noodles began appearing on Polish store shelves during the early 1990s. Despite being called "Chinese soup", the first brands on the market were produced in Vietnam and had a somewhat spicy, garlic-flavored taste. The noodle packages contained pouches of flavored soup base, spicy oil, dried vegetables, or even minuscule shrimps.
Noodles can be dried in one of two ways: by frying or by hot-air drying. Fried instant noodles are dried by oil frying for 1–2 minutes at a temperature of 140–160 °C (284–320 °F). The frying process decreases the moisture content from 30–50% to 2–5%.
