How Momofuku Ando invented instant ramen

Before World War 2, ramen wasn't instant. But one tinkerer fixed that...

Many low socio economic families and college age kids owe their gratitude to this man

This is a video about lots of things other than: "How Momofuku Ando invented instant ramen."

In Malaysia Maggie dominated the market up to a point where we simply call ramen as 'maggie', and boy we went crazy over it. One of our signature dish is called maggie goreng which is stir-fried ramen noodles with our little spicy ingredients. Tastes like heaven.

Instant throwback to your student years.

Official food for those poor students... but the price is not much different than a packet of rice...

Some brands from Indonesia like Indomie Mie Goreng also became very famous. I like them so much.

Greatest Taiwanese and Japanese invention ever! I live off this stuff haha

[nemodot]

this stuff just got reacently arrived in argentina. I'm amazed at how cheap it is, even with the current inflation rates in my country. It's like less of a dollar.

[BBarNavi]

If you dunk the ramen in water, you can cook it in the microwave in 3-4 minutes. But if you merely damped the noodles and leave a tiny bit of water at the bottom of the bowl, you can cook it in just over 1 minute.

OMG THAT LAST CLIP WAS SO ME IN COLLEGE I DIDNT HAVE A STOVE SO I HAD TO MICROWAVE WATER AND I WOULD POUR IT IN THE BOWL OF DRY RAMEN AND PUT MY BOOK OVER THE BOWL SO IT WOULD SOAK
