Initially, Tadao Ando was trying to help the poor eat in Lamian Noodles conveniently, so he racked his brains to study ways to preserve noodles for a long time and keep some vegetables from going bad for a long time. After numerous experiments, Ando finally invented noodles that can only be eaten with hot water, and added some drained vegetables to the noodles.
The instant noodles invented by Tadao Ando are considered as the greatest inventions since the 20th century, so Tadao Ando is also very great in people's minds, and his image is very tall.
Instant noodle inspiration
1958 In the spring, Ando built a simple hut in the backyard of his home in Osaka, which was less than 10 square meter and was used as an instant noodle research room. He found an old chef who made noodles, bought a wok with a diameter of 1 m, flour, cooking oil and other raw materials, plunged into the wooden house and began various experiments before the advent of instant noodles.
The experiment made Ando a little obsessed. Once at the dinner table, his wife cooked a delicious stir-fry dish, from which he suddenly realized a trick of making instant noodles: frying. Noodles are mixed with water, and water will be released when frying, so there will be countless holes on the surface of fried noodles. After adding boiling water, noodles will become soft like sponges. In this way, noodles are soaked in soup to make them tasty, then fried and dried to make noodles that can be preserved and brewed with boiling water. This practice was called "instant hot oil drying method" by him, and he soon got the patent of instant noodles.
On August 25th, 1958, the world's first instant noodle "Chicken Spicy Noodles" was officially launched, and chicken noodles were successfully commercialized in batches. Instant noodles soon became a popular commodity.
