If the water temperature is high, soak for 2 to 3 minutes; If the water temperature is not high, it may take 5 to 10 minutes. Some people suggest that instant noodles should be soaked in boiling water for more than 5 minutes in a bowl, or simply cooked in a small pot, so that the noodles will be softer and will not feel hard to eat. If there is a microwave oven, the time for instant noodles can be further shortened.
