Palm oil is mainly composed of saturated fatty acids and is solid at room temperature. Saturated fatty acids are not easily oxidized, but they are not good for people's health. In order to further avoid palm oil oxidation, manufacturers will also add vitamin E as an antioxidant.

Non-fried dough
It is a kind of noodle recently invented to deal with the health concerns of fried noodles, omitting the frying process, so it does not contain palm oil and saturated fatty acids. It is a relatively healthy noodle, and its taste can be comparable to that of fried noodles, which has a bright prospect.
Fried dough
The dough used in the original prototype of instant noodles is said to have been invented at first to remove water and blend oil fragrance into noodles, but it needs a lot of preservatives because it needs to be preserved for a long time.
history
Instant noodles were invented in 1958 by Fumio Ando (formerly known as Fumio Wu), a native of Taiwan Province Province in Ikeda City, Osaka Prefecture. After Ando invented instant noodles, he founded Nissin Food Company to sell the flavor of "chicken soup Lamian Noodles". At first, the price was 35 yen, but immediately imitation products appeared, leading to price reduction competition.
Nissin company actively developed abroad after inventing instant noodles. 1963 cooperated with Korean Sanyang Food for the first time, 1968 cooperated with Taiwan Province International Food Company to produce chicken soup-flavored noodles. The original vitality noodles didn't sell well in Taiwan Province Province because they followed the Japanese formula. After seasoning and adjustment of noodle taste, it has become a best-selling product in Taiwan Province Province. Most customers buy their goods for midnight snack or cooking with eggs. At one time, "Victory Face" almost became synonymous with this kind of products. However, due to poor management, Shengli finally withdrew from the market. As of 2005, only one Shengli bakery in the past international food companies continued to operate in the emerging area of Kaohsiung City, but it has withdrawn from the instant noodle market.
Although instant noodles were widely praised in Asia, they could not be successfully opened in the United States in the late11960 s, because the average American did not have the habit of boiling water, and the tableware at home was mainly plates. In order to make people who are not used to using bowls consume instant noodles, Nissin Company invented a cup noodle with expanded polystyrene as a container, which was listed in Japan on 197 1 and the price was 100 yen (0.25 USD), which was more than three times the price of bagged instant noodles at that time.
During the interview, the cups were sold in gymnasiums and racetracks, and were not popular because of their high prices. Finally, it can only be sold in some units that have to be on duty at night, such as the fire brigade and the Japanese Self-Defense Force. In order to open the market, Ando Baifu cooperated with Mitsukoshi Department Store in downtown Tokyo to promote sales, setting a record of selling 20,000 copies in four hours, laying the foundation for Japanese to accept cup noodles. Because the cup noodles take a high-priced route, the ingredients include dried shrimps made by freeze-drying, and forks are also tableware. Street promotion in Tokyo makes cup noodles stand firm in Kanto. 1In February, 972, the Asakusa Villa incident occurred in Japan where the Red Army Company took hostages and confronted the police. Because the police ate a cup of noodles wrapped in belly, which was broadcast live on TV, the cup noodles became an instant hit.
Long before the invention of instant noodles, similar pasta was called "one side" or "Yi Fu noodles" in China (that is, "spaghetti" in Taiwan Province province). According to legend, there was a local official in the Qing Dynasty who entertained guests at home. The cook mistakenly put the cooked egg noodles into the boiling oil pan, so he had to pick up the soup to eat. Because the guests were full of praise after eating, this dish was handed down.
According to legend, when Yi Bingshou, a great calligrapher in Qing Dynasty, held a birthday party at home, the chef mistook oil for water and fried the noodles until they were cooked. In desperation, he had to cook the fried noodles and pour thick soup with chicken, pork bones and seafood. Unexpectedly, after eating, the guests praised the noodles for being smooth and tender, and the soup was delicious. Since then, this kind of fried noodles has been called "Yi Noodles" and has been handed down. Because its processing method is very similar to modern instant noodles, future generations regard instant noodles as the embryonic form of modern instant noodles. Once, Song Xiang, a poet and calligrapher, tasted it and found it very delicious. Knowing that it had no name, he said, "It's a pity that such delicious food has no name. What if it is not named' Fu Yimian'? " Since then, the Iraqi government has spread, known as the "Iraqi face."
The production of pasta pays attention to good color, loose constitution, floating but not real, and smooth and sweet taste. It is the blueprint of instant noodles made by the Japanese, the ancestor of doll noodles)
manufacture
As far as the instant noodles on the market are concerned, most of them are mass-produced by machines in factories, and almost no hand-made instant noodles can be seen. Because most factories produce packaging, people mostly distinguish instant noodles by packaging: bowl noodles are made of polystyrene (commonly known as styrofoam; Instant noodles and cup noodles packed in bowls or paper bowls are packed in paper cups, while others are usually packed in plastic or paper. When you want to eat them, you can put them in a bowl and boil hot water. As for the types of noodles, they first appeared in the Japanese market, so most of the early instant noodles came from Lamian Noodles, Japan, and then there were different instant noodles such as oolong noodles.
Security is a problem.
But because the bowl attached to instant noodles is made of polystyrene, polystyrene itself is not heat-resistant. When it meets hot water, it often mixes with soup and condenses on the stomach wall, so it can't digest food normally.
You can also add a lot of preservatives to the seasoning package for long-term preservation. Some expensive instant noodles usually contain soft cans, which is also a fresh-keeping method.
Cooking method
Instant noodles can be eaten quickly. In some areas, some people also eat instant noodles by cooking, such as cooking instant noodles in a general way. A kind of fried instant noodles is popular in Jinmen, Taiwan Province. It is cooked first, then fried in a pot, served with vegetable leaves or shredded pork.
Although instant noodles are designed to be eaten after being brewed, some people eat them directly without being brewed. In Taiwan Province Province, some brands of instant noodles, such as "Prince Noodles", "Science Noodles" and "Mommy Noodles" made in Thailand, are mostly directly crushed and mixed with seasoning powder (or shaken well) as snacks. It is said that this way of eating is probably invented by primary school students. [Source Request]

In recent years, Thailand's economic development has gradually improved since the 1997 financial turmoil, and the sales of mommy noodles have increased steadily. However, in 2004, Thailand's economy declined, and the sales volume of Mommy Noodle immediately increased by 5%, and increased by 15% in the first seven months of 2005. This phenomenon is because instant noodles are cheap, and when the economy is depressed, people buy instant noodles to save money, so the sales of mommy noodles have soared.
