Momofuku Ando (Japanese: 安藤 百福, Hepburn: Andō Momofuku, March 5, 1910 – January 5, 2007), born Go Pek-Hok (Chinese: 吳百福; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Gô͘ Pek-hok), was the Taiwanese-born Japanese inventor and businessman who founded Nissin Food Products Co., Ltd. [4] He is known as the inventor of Nissin Chikin Ramen (instant noodles) and the creator of the brands Top Ramen and Cup Noodles.
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.
The first noodles will only appear much later, in the 10th or 11th centuries, [19] and there is a popular legend about Marco Polo bringing the first pasta back from China. Modern historians do not give much credibility to the story and rather believe the first noodles were imported earlier from the Arabs, in a form called rishta. [20]
Noodle Creek is a stream in the U.S. state of Texas. [1] Noodle Creek flows for 31 miles (50 km) before it joins the Clear Fork Brazos River. [1] According to tradition, Noodle Creek was named for the fact it often runs dry, "noodle" being local slang meaning "nothing". [2]
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%.
Instant noodles were originally invented in 1958 by Momofuku Ando, the founder of Nissin Foods. [2] Ando recognized that the traditional bowls used to package instant noodles in Asia were not common in the US, so he designed the paper cup format to make the product more convenient for American consumers.
A post office called Noodle was established in 1900, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1924. [2] Noodle has been noted for its unusual place name. [3] The name comes from nearby Noodle Creek, a dry creek named for the local term for "nothing" according to local history. [4]
