  • Instant Ramen

    The popularity of ramen, a complicated dish available largely only in restaurants, in Japan after World War II led Momofuku Ando to attempt to invent an instant variety. In his backyard, Ando invented a flash-frying technique that allowed ramen noodles to be turned into dried bricks without losing flavor. While expensive at first, mass production dropped the price, turning it into a convenience food.
