Instant noodles

By Emiko S.
Staff Writer

Instant noodles or instant ramen are dried or precooked noodles usually sold with flavor powder. Dried noodles are usually eaten after being cooked or soaked in boiling water, while precooked noodles can be reheated or eaten straight from the packet.
Instant noodles are different from cup noodle. For cup noodles you can just pour boiled water in the container, wait for 3 minutes and start eating. Instant noodles normally use a pan. It is suggested that you add vegetables, meat, egg or fish, anything you want. You can make your own noodle dish for 5 minutes with only a pan, some instant noodles and whatever else you have laying around the house. The best part is that it is very cheap.
Instant noodles are turning into a bit of a fad these days in Japan. Because some food companies are selling a variety of instant noodles. The ramen section is a little bit larger than before in the local supermarket. Now the section even has instant udon noodles. Dried udon is as good as the fresh noodles, and are tasty. Add in the flavor packet and poof a cheap and easy meal in no time! Try some of the kinds when you don’t feel like cooking!
